Talking when i was in the mountains

we had a gopher problem ok....so one day i dig out a tunnel

i'm like bill murry i worked at a golf course and got paid to do it.

but i burried a grip trap...and was checking it out because it was tripped...

so i'm thinkin... cool i got one... ya bastages...
i go and kneel down to empty the trap grabbing it out
of the main tunnel.... and son of BEOTCH it wasn't
a gopher i caught but a three foot pissed off snake...
which recoiled and yanked that trap back out of my hands
so freakin fast it scared the crap out of me....
because it coulda been
a rattler (rattlesnake)
i've had many many adventures with those!
but luckily it was a gopher snake instead.

but anyways.... talk about fast...them gophers could
duck a 22 long rifle bullet if you aimed for their head
which would pop up just like at the shooting gallery.
so i had to skip the damned bullet off the dirt just in front
of the whole to gettem
...and i'd still just catch them in the head

I would love to fix my gopher/groundhog problem this way.
A little bit of overkill, but it will definitely work......

A good quality airrifle with a decent scope will fix the problem every time.

Or, only put out safflower.

Most furry creatures won't touch it, but the cardinals and many other birds love it. Yes, this may limit the species you attract...but for me it's worth the tradeoffs.

I am on a mission...good tips here...there is one (at least) brazen little furry bastage that has chewed up a bunch of cedar shingles near the vent at the peak trying to get in the house....pisses me off cuz now I'll have to replace the shingles after the war..and the new ones will never match....
