Where to hunt Gophers in AB?

[mattgoulding]

Last photo from me for a while got to much work to get done around here before planting to be riding around every day shooting gophers.

Did you dig it out and shoot it?

Dig it out? Not sure what you mean? If you are talking about the hole next to my rifle that was made by the gopher. We shoot them as they are running around hole to hole.

Just joking. Looks like a huge hole.

Yeah some of them are, sometimes the coyote and badgers go after the gophers and make the damage the gophers did way worst sometimes just get a wack of gophers together and they them selfs can do the same damage if not more then a coyote or badger

we used to get a bottle of whiskey for a badger from the cattlemen. they would rather have the gophers than badgers

Looks almost like someone was using artillery to go after the gophers. Some interesting shell craters there!

I heard there used to be a thing where you would fill the tunnel with a gas and then blow the tunnel up. Maybe propane

 

[Beater]

yes they still do that where you cant shoot
