2016 gopher thread?
 

Well all, is it too early for this? I shot my first one today. There were a dozen or so running around, so not a fluke.

.........plus 1 = 1:sHa_shakeshout:

cheater.... it doesn't cont if you live in Florida:thinking-006:

Well I think I live closer to Florida than u!!:fighting0021:

there was one at work on the tarmac the other day

Just a funny thought... the 2015 gopher count on AO was 33951 gophers killed by members.

With todays meat prices maybe keep a few for the smoker. If each gopher has a 1/4 pound (4 oz.) of meat 33951 gophers equals 8497 pounds of meat. Or 4 tons of burger.

Another thought... gophers are a pet of prosperity in China and are even sold as pets in places like Toronto for up to 175 dollars each. 33951 gophers @ 175$ each equals 5,941,425.00. I'm thinking the AO gopher hunters should start the Alberta gopher co-op & wranglers assoc. and supply gopher pets and meat to the world.

Enjoy the gopher hunt this season...

with temps in the plus side of double digits these days down south it doesn't surprise that they would be out!

What's the estimate # of gophers in Alberta.

Never too early to start buddy , Ive been looking for them as Ive checked snares this week and tho theres lots of badger activity Ive yet to see a grass rat . Cleaning the 17hmr as we speak , looks like its on ..:sHa_shakeshout::47b20s0:

1 + 13 = 14:sHa_shakeshout:

Seen a couple today near Lethbridge, mind ya it was plus 13 today.

Jim..

Seen half a dozen at work by grassy the other day

I'm so jealous! Bought a Rugar American predator in .223 to shoot gophers this year next to me Rem. 597 HB. Why can't the gophers be out already in my side of Alberta.

That's like asking how hungry is a horse?

I shot my first gopher of the year today!!

Gophers out here today :fighting0007:

14 + 9 = 23 :budo:

What a great way to spend a February weekend.
23+14=37

37 +62 = 99

Hit one with the truck today =100 that counts right...?:sHa_shakeshout:

100+11=111

111 + grammas own 17 = 128

+1=129

Shot my first one.....

Delete it, if not proper for this thread......

Saw my first one in Rocky today! It was by Tim Horton's though, couldn't shoot it.

130+36=166

i got my first gopher of 2016 today

166+5=171

I think that number might be a little far fetched.

Why? I can remember having years of over 2000 by myself.

171+3=174
