Default Do you think a bridger #2,3 would be considered a killing trap for gophers ?lol

I have a someone that has a gopher problem that wants me to take care of. I have some 120,s but not enough. I was going to use my coyote legholds with the idea it would get not there legs but there hole body . Any thoughts on this ?

Snares worked well when I was a kid. Piece of twine and a stick.

You can also buy that snare wire at any canadian tire or even hardware stores or trapping supply stores and it would be the most cost efficient way of getting rid of them. Where are you out of because i have a bunch of 120s and id be glad to help you trap and snare some gophers
