    Is that before you get to, or after you pass, "Ain't far"??

    I've thought about that before but I've never had the balls to try it, had a few gophers giving me hell awhile back, finally got them with gopher gas but the ground had to be wet.

    I was the gopher man at the golf course. Used to trap them. Usually get about 10-15 a day. Talked the boss man into getting some smoke bombs to put down some of the ####ers that were able to outsmart the traps.. Made me feel like Bill Murray in caddyshack

    This the traps I used. Thread a long strand of baling wire thru the back of the spring and hang one of those irrigation flags off the other side of the wire then place on top of hole when it's set, so u don't lose the trap once it's in the ground. Because u will if u don't mark it. No bait needed. The best way to do it is open up the hole with a hand shovel, set the trap and bury it with loose dirt so it's camoflauged and then cover the entire tunnel back up with dirt... when Mr gopher comes thru to tunnel his hole back out, SNAP! speared right thru the neck. Instant death.. It's a little messy sometimes. I always wore gloves.. The other good thing about the baling wire trick is if the gopher didn't thru and ur trap is still set u don't have to reach ur hand in there and get snapped. It doesn't feel good at all, trust me.

    The tractor never got any, just the trailer. The fairings don’t reach that high. ;)

    We are woke. Heading into another mega indigenous population center for our final stop, then reload.
