My gopher shooting is taking a nosedive, going in for a knee replacement next Friday. Pretty sure that'll slow me down, crap on one side but better in the long run. There will be more and bigger ones by the time I get out. We have so much frick'n snow here anyway, it'll be a while before the pastures are dry enough to drive out on.
It's that time of year again: Destroy all gophers!

vermillion eh? might just have to head out to my uncles next weekend, unf busy this weekend.
Interested, though I've got no time until at least the 20th, I think.
No worries, we should arrange a meet and greet when your free.
Destroyed a couple more today.
If you dont like to see some blood, dont scroll down.
First guy I ever blew right out of the hole
This is what you get when you just wanna peek out and look at me
We also scored 3 yotes today.

That looks like a blast. Up here in northern Alberta theres not much farmland. Mostly woodland, pole lines and clearings from logging. Would these areas be any good for gopher hunting? I've never noticed many gophers out around here, but then again I wasn't really lookin for em. Got any advice for a rookie??
Awesome titch, what were you using? .17?

Won't be getting to any of my pastures soon. Bloody snow. Was just out checking for calves and heard a seagull, no place for the geese to get water yet. Been a long winter and i'm sick of this, come on global warming.
Here is some "food for thought": When looking for good available gopher land and the probability of getting permission.....Look for Cattle farmers (usually tons of pasture land!!!!) that are Organic farmers! They don`t use chemical, thus can`t poison for gophers. They are usually ecstatic if you ask for permission to kill these vagrants!!
Just got home from town where i picked up a few 22lr rounds. 8 boxes of Federal 525 for 19.97 a box. Regular price sticker on the box is 32.99 
Now where are the gophers. Oh and for the guys that only kill what they will eat, i would guess that you are city boys and don't own land that these little varmints tear up. Badgers are even worse for tearing things up to get at the gophers.

Ive seen ALOT of badger holes this year already. Seem to be lots around for sure. Never scored a badger yet, so I hope this is my lucky year.

Be careful what you say. I got in trouble for "trolling" because I expressed an opinion on this thread.
Don`t get caught unless you have a fur license or Permission from a farmer. The permission part: you might check the details on that, I`m a little unsure.Ive seen ALOT of badger wholes this year already. Seem to be lots around for sure. Never scored a badger yet, so I hope this is my lucky year.
