So I'm not new to firearms, but I am new to my awesome set of rimfires including a 17HMR.

I don't know any farmers around home or anywhere for that matter, but my son (14) and I are wanting to whack gophers in a big way! It will be the first year for both of us.

Anyone around/near Cold Lake need some gophers smashed? Got a spot you want to share with two responsible people?

Help a guy out here...

PM me if you don't want to give up all the goods.

Thanks guys, days off are coming and the ammo box is full!


Ryan.
 
I've had good luck simply knocking on doors of farmers in my area. Be friendly and respectful; most farmers are happy to point you to the fields or pastures they want cleaned up.

Have fun with your son.

Cheers,

That's what I did and now I have a coveted gopher/coyote field to clean up this year. Unfortunately, the owner does not want 50 guys in there throwing bullets around. We agreed on me, my wife, and my coyote hunting partner. Started today and Dang, the snow is deep!!! Even in snowshoes, I was sinking over a foot in most places. But I shot 30 gophers! Had to walk 2 miles through that to do it, though! Wind was a little stiff. And people called the cops on me, but they were very good about it. Just wanted to know if I had permission, checked with the owner, and went on their way. They will be letting the other shifts know that I will be there until the coyotes/gophers are gone.
