I've been warring with gophers. Today, I caught my first one in a trap. There's finess involved in placing the trap, and knowledge of how gophers do their tunnels. And those little traps would surely be nasty to get caught in accidentally. Will try it again on one in the front yard that has a big excavation underway under the creeping mulberry. I think the cooler weather has brought them out more.
They are cute little guys, but boy do they cause damage.
