Saskatchewan declares war on gophers

[fozzy]

Wahoooo we're heading out in early May!! Going to do my civic duty and take care of a few of them..

I'm sure if anyone from out of province was interested and called the Town Office in Eston they could get hooked up with a place to shoot and maybe a place to stay.
Welcome to Eston, home of the World Gopher Derby

Seems like a good opportunity for Saskatchewan folks to start up some gopher hunting bed and breakfasts

Already done... a couple times. They worked out ok.

I would love to get in on that as well..I would supply my own ammo and camping equipment. All I need is a place.

Maybe we could get the provincial government to put pressure on Ottawa to again allow innexpensive milsurp ammo into the country! (without so much paperwork)

Ball ammo on a farmers field just screams bad idea. You'll have ricochets all over the place.

I want to go gopher shooting around Edmonton, my only place only had like like 10 gophers, and I shot them already. We filled the holes in and they are still filled in so I assume there are no more there.

But dry weather in recent years has sent gopher numbers soaring, leaving many of those measures inadequate. Now the provincial government is upping the ante.

Dry weather??? Where???
