Put on some kms and knock on some doors farmers are pretty good when it comes to killing gophers

Many people guard the location of their gopher fields as much as their big game hunting locations.:)

I'll be semi permanent around Lloydminster starting mid April to May 1. I'm looking for good gopher hunting. I use 22 and 223. Any leads on locations would be apreciated. PM me please.

Cheers

If there are any Tofield area farmers reading this post that have a gopher problem in their pastures send me a message. My friend and I have 50 years each of safe shooting and would be glad to help you get rid of your gophers. We use .17 HMR ammo which is low noise and very safe, no ricochets.

Well me and my winger are sure glad folks don't want to drive all the way to Chauvin to shoot gophers, We had a great monday afternoon and fantastic 1/2 day tuesday making it so this fine fella won't need so much poison. Might get back next week for some more action . FS

That stubble field of yours was a lot of fun on Tuesday morning and the black field on monday evening had so many targets I couldn't load fast enough. Some of the best Alberta gopher shooting I have seen. FS
