Last year the battle field of the great gopher war of 2018 nearly destroyed my yard. Well, they’re not actually gophers, they’re little furry Borg. You can take out a few and then you have to change tactics or adjust the frequency on your phaser. Not a fan of poison, flooding their tunnels with poison gas or carbon monoxide just pisses them off. I don’t know how but they get as wise to traps as a three legged coon.

Right now the MTD score is 1-1. They’ve buried one trap and I’ve caught one gopher. I’ve got a sure fire method worked out but it’s time consuming. It involves a good book, a lawn chair, a Johnson grass stem and a 22. I’ll implement it after I retire. Until then, the battle rages on
