Where do I find gophers in SK?

[saddlehills]

I guess finding a good looking area isn't the hard part, it's just finding out who I'm supposed to get permission from. I've literally spent days trying to figure this out.

edit: I think I finally got it now. I could be wrong but I think this is how it goes:
After finding a decent looking spot on google earth,
1. get RM map: I've heard this before but I could never figure out where to get one. Turns out I had to register at this site (isc.ca) and get a rural municipalities boundaries map.
2. use this search to find phone number of RM office
http://www.mds.gov.sk.ca/apps/Pub/MDS/welcome.aspx
3. ask RM office for map containing land ownership info
4. call landowner and ask for permission

You could just cut out all the above, go for a drive, and knock on a door or two??
Probably get you further, quicker? And make for a nice drive in the country. ( bring your gun )

#1 on the go to the landowner fo a personal visit. Phoning is like telemarketing. They want to know who you are. The first impression is most important. Good things don't come easy.

It's been slow for gophers around S'toon the last couple years. Way too wet .

Another snowstorm today. Not only wet but snowy. AArrrgh!

I think overall we've still had a good deal less snow than last winter (2012-13) but it is tiresome when it comes this late in the season.
