Gents,
A couple of months ago, I had a gopher take up residence in my side yard and set about his destructive ways. I immediately declared Jihad and went after him with all manner of traps, smoke bombs, and whatever else I could think of. No dice. He literally destroyed the side lawn, turning it into a sinkhole due to his incessant tunneling. This gopher was handing me my ass. I felt like Carl from Caddyshack...
The other morn I walk out and who do I see poking his head out of a freshly dug burrow. I retrieved my ancient RWS-Diana 34 and equally ancient tin of Crow Magnums and set-up a hide behind my trash cans. It didn't take long. Crow Magnums are pure information to gophers.
Upon getting a good look at my now terminally impaired quarry, it became readily apparent why my yard was collapsing. Good night! I have never seen a gopher this big! His burrows had to be the size of the Holland Tunnel!
Any of you seen one this big?
