We went out to a friends farm for Easter Sunday. There was 3, 14 year old kids and a few adults. I spent most of my time with the kids shooting gophers in the fields. There was so many gophers, the fields were just destroyed with holes everywhere. It was suggested by people that haven't seen the destruction, that we shouldn't shoot the cute little guys, but they are a real problem out here, as live stock will fall into the gopher holes and break their legs, we fell in a few ourselves. In about 7 hours we shot off a 'brick' of 1000 rounds and killed about 20 gophers. The picture is of my first 'kill'. The picture idea came to me hours later and the gopher seized up in the squirmy looking position it is hanging in. Michelle shot off a couple of rounds, before she went back to the house to hang out with her girlfriend. I think we will invite our friends over with their guns this spring, flood the Moles out of their mole hills, and shoot em up. The traps haven't been working out for us.
