"We got a gopher"

My Dad's favorite movie line is from "The Fugitive" when Harrison Ford jumps off of the dam and Tommy Lee Jones says, "We got a gopher"!
I remember as a kid going out with my dad in the evening to check gopher traps in the hay fields. He HATES gophers. They make can make such a mess out of a field that you have put so much work it to. So, I was so happy to call him the other day to let him know that we killed one. He has been making a mess out of our garden-especially in the potatoes. We are not sure how he got into this residential neighborhood-kind of crazy. Now we are just waiting to see if he has any friends!

Natalie - those poses are so funny. Could you have got any uglier pictures? We farm folks are used to pictures like that but it might scare someone else. Good trappin!!

I hope PETA gets you guys--as you know I would never even think of hurting or killing even one of those rodent-wood chucks, racoons or even a pheasant--look out I have had to deal with the crazy lunitics before and its not a pleasant experience
