Default Is it finally Gopher time again!

Anyone been out in the pastures? I've been patiently waiting for warmer weather.

The snow was the problem getting into pastures where I hunt. A few more days like we have now will be great.

I was out last week and we got about 50. There all over on top of the snow, very interesting conditions for gophering.

Lots of young gophers around here but getting into the field is a no go. I have started shooting a few from the edges but it is way short of the massacre that I would like. The ones that come into my yard and get under my deck are not safe. My Cardigan Welsh Corgi is low to the ground but tough. When he goes under the deck he either come up with the gopher or runs them out to my golden shepherd cross.
