Score one for the mower

Post by Flashburn »

today was so sad.... A poor little pocket gopher got axed by my riding mower.

MUHAHAHA!!!!


I guess now I will have to put a gopher sticker on its side for the confirmed kill! :lol:

Did I mention I hate gophers. I have had to start from scratch 4 years in a row with my back yard from gopher damage.

Do you have any cats that will kill gophers? I recall having a tomcat a few years ago that would catch them. They tend to not be bad around here, except for in the alfalfa fields. My bamboo remains safe.

I never had cats there, the road killed all the neighbors cats so i figured I would pass.


I have a way of trapping them that works pretty good. After years of practice I found out if cover the exit hole with grass till there is Just a little light showing through it them BLAMO I get em dam near first time every time by morning.

You have to buy the largest trap size to because those are the ones that live when you poison.


I been thinking of having the hides tanned as a trophy. Put em on my wall.
