If just to kill it for some sort of personal goal, then not so great.

The law allows for the killing of suckers, and wasting them. It is not vandalism, yet.

There is a legal difference in the classification of Gophers and Suckers.
Suckers are a non-game fish.
Gophers are a Nuisance under the Agricultural Pest Act.
An open mind can see the management of animal and fish species needs to be practiced on a fine scale. Each field/waterbody is unique.
