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...
