Update, I tracked that fucker down in the weeds. He was still alive only caught by the foot. What is it? I’m guessing there are more of them? That's a pocket gopher. You'll know if there's more if new mounds show up I saw many more mounds Inside the weed line then I could see before I caught him. Guessing there will be more.

I think my pasture may be better handled with poison bait though. It’s gotta be more efficient.

Didn't have my phone with me, but I just caught what I hope is the last pocket gopher of the year

I've got three gopher hawks set now. I had one get tripped in the same spot. I thought I had the little bastard, but then found a number of new mounds and the empty/tripped trap. I hope he's dead in one of the three this morning.

I didn't have my phone or I would have snapped a pic. First time I've caught one by the front leg and had it scratching around above ground trying to get the trap off. A good smack in the mid section took care of it. It was a good sized one, so I'm glad to have removed it from the gene pool.

I think tomorrow I’ll go set my two traps down the way from my crab trees.
FIL scoffs at me and just wanders around injecting poison.

Too windy to be out mucking around with this.
