This week has been cold and rainy, not the best weather for gophering. However, my work can not, and must not be halted. Friday afternoon, as I walked the fence line of my property (scouting the enemy), I saw a fresh mound just three feet outside of my property. The word must be getting out to other gophers that my land is off limits.
I decided to take the fight to them. Gophering knows no bounds. I marched over to my neighbors and told him the bad news, "I've scared 'em into your yard." I then told him the good news, "I've got mad gophering skills, plenty of gopher traps, and I work for free." So together we set out gophering. We set 2 Cinch traps, a Black Box, a Black Hole, 2 Gophinators, and 2 Sweeney traps. The results are as follows:
First one was caught in a Cinch trap.
Second one was caught in a Gophinator trap.
And the third Muske-dead Gopher fell victim to a Black Box.
On a side note: due to recent rain fall, it was difficult to see the fresh mounds. We made educated guesses as to which were the freshest. I think we did rather well for a 24 hour period.
Happy Gophering everyone!!! Enjoy the weekend. And as always, be sure to check out the
Gopher Casualty Counter.
