AR15 or some other "black rifle" type of stopper is advised when going close range with rut-crazed buck gophers (or so I am told! :lol: )GILLY said:Very good info and advice boys, thanks a million. I plan on shooting for the hides but not to sell, I want a couple of good ones for wall hangers, one in my den and one in my ice fishing hut. I think too, that I am pretty much sold on the .223 for cost and ease of reloading. I would also use this cal on the vast herds of wild gophers we have here on the prairies. I think that the shear knock down power and long distance shootability would be my safest bet. The last thing I want is a wounded buck gopher charging at me, I've heard stories of what a wounded gopher can do.................to the cuffs of your pants![]()
