Just the little goofs doing what they do. I shared some french fries with a curious and ultra-squee gopher earlier today so right now I am overwhelmingly pro-gopher.
The really important question here is: are these really gophers or are they ground squirrels? Ground hogs are ground squirrels, not gophers. Jezzz dudes, it�s like hockey sticks and microchips in vaccines, gotta hold our end up
I used to go around to cattle and horse farmers and offer to 'reduce the gopher population' for them, so their animals didn't step in holes and break legs. We used to play 'stupid gopher tricks', like seeing how many times they would backflip when we got a headshot.
Always used a .22LR with a .223 pellet gun as backup. Coyotes would come out to clean up the carcasses.
Just a few points to put out there. 1- wood chucks are very tasty. The only �tastes like rabbit� animal I�ve eaten that actually tastes like rabbit. 2- wood chucks have very large incisors and appear to know how to use them. Be careful how you kill the pesky little bastards. Unless you are going to do some property damage with a .22, don�t try to club it. Just saying!

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
