I have to laugh because I've often asked myself my foe, my enemy, is an animal.

In order to conquer him I have to think like an animal and whenever possible to look like one. I've got to get inside this dude's pelt and crawl around for a few days. Who is the gopher's ally? His friend? The harmless squirrel and the friendly rabbit. I'm going to use you guys to do my dirty work for me.

Gophers. I had them in SoCal the last two years. Hate those punks.

I picked up some of these. You need to find a fresh mound and put it right in

Read with interest the answers to the question (in the Q&A): how do you get the gopher out of the trap after you trap it

When I use my gopher trap (with metal spikes) I attach a line to the trap.

Agreed: gophers. And kill them quick or you'll have an underground freeway in

To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And
