Camo Up!
Well, I finally did it. Bought a trap and got out and set it Sunday night after family events. Used a Revenge Quick Set trap at the most recent mound. Dug down about 6" from the plug to make an opening above the tunnel to put the trap in, and actually had to make the tunnel a little bigger since the trap was a little wider than the tunnel. Wired the trap to a stake, set it, placed it, put a baby carrot behind the trip plate, covered the hole with a shingle and covered that with dirt...and then waited! I was pretty excited as I retrieved my prize Monday night. It is about 7 1/2" long not including the tail. Longest claws were about 1/2" and has about 3/8-1/4" front teeth. I have been chasing this thing (and possibly some cohorts) for the last 3 weeks with poison, but to no avail...or at least none that I could see as more mounds kept appearing.
Now the question is...what is a gopher pelt worth!
