Little suckers you have but nice catches for your.

The Camas gopher here would be hard pressed to fit in a DG and are next to impossible to bait.
The trapline magnum gophenator does the job best for me and they are active year round here.

Pay better then Coyote too.

Yeah, some of our camas gophers look like small bunny rabbits for size.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Here's what the set looks like. I use a rod to probe to find the active hole, usually somewhere around the outside perimeter of the mound.

I use 13 lbs propane 40 lbs oxygen. Put down run 30 to 40 seconds, time depends on how wet the ground is. Then I remote detonate. Sure is fun the first time or two, but 8 hours later it is a job.

That's cool!
