Wak-A-Mole..

Well..actually wac-a-gopher.

Sitting having coffee and notice a gopher mound starting at the edge of our grass..grrrr

So I grab the RTI Compact .22 shooting PolyMag Shorts at 930fps..

Yep. Still there and basically giving me the gopher-finger

Up-Down-Up-Down..line up hold-over..Up-Down-Up-TWACK!!

Much more direct approach than traps or poison..and you get to "recycle" for Buz..the local turkey vulture..circle of life.

@lbc_PSI I admire you guys who have patience enough to wait out underground pests. I don’t know how you do it. 

 

[lbc_PSI]

LOL. No patience required for this one. It was so intent on trimming the grass around the hole, that it was all timing. It was sorta interesting to watch. It would pop up and trim from right to left..pop down..then pop up and trim from left to right. Reminded me of a furry rainbird sprinkler. Sucker was big..almost 6” body length.

@lbc_psi Congrats man. Those things are a pain. I rarely catch them in action and don’t know a lot about them. I just know that their digging causes a lot of problems. Good shooting. I hope it didn’t cause much damage around that concrete or your patio. Your yard looks nice.

@bc_PSI nice, I would say patience are required for the wack - a - mole. So are you playing Bill Murray's character in this role?

 

[Mr.H]

Congrats! Those ba*tards only make mound during the night in my yard. I have to resort to poison.
