Wow, your ground is that thawed? In one spot. I need to walk the alfalfa field if I get this one. It is about 50 yards from the hayfield.

First one of the year. This is the only fresh activity I've found, on a sunny, south facing slope. Little bastard bit the shovel as I removed his head.

Same thing happened with mine. My lawn is starting to green and there is lots of gopher activity. The wires are bent and I am going to take the traps apart. I need to get them straight and back in the alfalfa field.

Trap and gopher are gone. Are these skunk tracks?

You might have to start to spend some more time looking for sheds!
Sheds are pretty tough to find in corn fields though, but I bet you have several hiding in there.

Give those sheds to your dog. Lots of dogs need zero help learning if they like chewing sheds. My 10 month old lab has found numerous sheds.

I went to check gopher traps today and no gophers. The wires were bent. i found this. First one in about 20 years. I found the other side of the rack. two new gopher hawks arrived today. All I had left is one crippled trap and it hasn’t caught a thing.

He knows what they look and smell like. Zero training he found 7 inside and 5 outside the fence this year.
