Who will get the first one this year? There is so much snow here in Sask that I doubt I will see any untill May.
 
We just got close to a foot last thursday......sad because the week before people had started seeing the little flield rats out of their holes... :rolleyes:

Hopefully I can do my part to deciamte their numbers this summer :D :D
 
gopher season

Maybe tomorrow, the other day I seen some standing on a mound in my hay field surrounded by a sea of white. Last year we shot our first gopher on Feb 26. If the sun shines tomorrow I might have to go wack a few to get the season started-----Cowboy
 
I need to find a new patch this year as the pastures I usually go to have been pretty much cleaned up. The gopher calls you can get at Wholesale Sports work pretty good.

Gee, thanks for sharing that with us. Do you mind if the rest of us keep the rodent population in check anyways?
 
LOL: Feel free! Just felt like stirring up some poo. Thanks for biting. Now I can get back to work.
 
I killed a gopher on thursday or friday... I did not shoot it though... I seen it had ran into some steel tubing, so i poked it out with a stick, and into my hand(short tube, 3feet long) And then I put it in a box for a wile... It was trying so hard to get out, I felt sorry for it so I CRUSHED IT WITH MY HANDS!!!


CamJ I hope your hope your home/house gets infested with rats, and mice.. and that you can't get rid of them. :)

even though I dont have a varmint gun right now (2 on the way), I will try my best with either a 12 gauge or a 308 (depends what my mood is when I get home :D).

Hell, if I had a 50 BMG, I would be using that. Hmm.... dammit, now I gotta find a 50 cal *LOL*

Actually, I went out today but it was too cold. I didn't even see a gopher, let alone shoot one (only had a 12 guage O/U). God I hate this wind :mad:
 
If u hate the wind, I think yur definately in the wrong place!! LOL!
I spent many years in Lethbridge and watched a lot of topsoil go to Coaldale and Taber! Moved to BC and spent the first week trying not to fall down as I was so used to compensating for the wind...Then again, your vehicle gets superb gas mileage when heading east....
Cheers

Who says I dont eat em? :D:D

I live in Coaldale. Shouldnt need to anchor down the house for a few days...actually been pretty decent! Cant wait for the snow to go and the gophers to come LOL!!

Hey guys how does a boy from B.C. get in on some gopher action. Is out of province hunters able to hunt small critters with a host from alberta ?

It's not really hunting as you do not need a license or are subject to a season. As long as you are following the rules and regulations for firearms in a unpopulated area you should be okay.The best way is to get to know a few farmers and ask them. Most farmers offer money to get you to go shoot them as they are pests.
