gopher calls

I just use an empty 223 or 17hmr case as a whistle. I think it sounds so weird to a gopher they just have to come out for a look!:p
 
I got this type from WSS in Calgary.

About $25 and its my second one cause the camo makes it darn hard to find after you drop it. Works pretty well, I would not like to go out with out it.
 
I got my call from peavey mart aswell and the music thing must work cause last summer we used my buddy's suv (he owns a stereo shop) and he cranked the stereo up we sat in lawn chairs and shot for an hour or so couldn't keep them in there holes. Don't know if it was the vibration or sound they liked but they liked something. And as stated above they like the classics :D
 
I put a lanyard on mine and put it around my neck,so when I want it outta the way I let it drop outta my mouth and then ya never lose itthat way !!

I have the exact same one pictured in the link above. I honestly don't know if mine makes a lick of difference.

I live here in Sask, gopher capitol of the world and I will tell you that whistle works I take a shot and if I miss I give one toot on the whislte and they pop right up in a full stance.:D Its awsome!!
 
The perfect gopher call is the one you drove up with. One person drives around (ummm...NOT downrange, but rather beside the shooter). The shooter blasts the gophers as they pop their heads up to see what all the driving around is about. Put the vehicle about 200 yards away and you will be able to blast many, many gophers. Gophers are just plain curious about vehicles, but have been genetically trained to run away from the ground tremors of a person/animal walking. Been there, done that, and wasted many bricks of ammo returning "fertilizer" to God's green Earth.

Anyone else done this?
 
The whistle God gave you works as well. Or try making really loud kissing noises. Put your lips together... and just suck... that squeek is close to their warning sign and they stand up to see what the danger is.
