hay field maintenance...

and another one bites the dust!!! Have to keep a lid on these rascals as they push up a lot of dirt/gravel that is hard on the moco. They are a little slower to start showing up this spring.

I'm gonna guess pocket gopher

It's a gopher all right. When Dad was farming lima beans, he paid us 25 cents for each gopher we trapped. That was good money in the 50's for a young kid. Stan

ell pocket gopher is right although they can be confused with a mole as they can do the same damage..The following pictures are of a rather rare example I caught last year of an Albino model. I just have four of those traps that I have found to work the best. Last year I caught 110 of them and the year before over 200.

In my hay fields in Maryland it's those pesky groundhogs, size of cats. Burrow holes, tunnels, and mounds real danger. I shoot at least 15 each year, new ones always return to old dens.

If David doesn't turn it political & get it poofed, I'll tell you what we do here in sandy soil. Gopher plow. It cuts down about 4 to 6 inches and distributes strychnine laced maze & at the intersections of gopher tunnels and the tunnels made by the gopher plow, the little b@$&%*#s take a turn and eat the poison.
