Don’t knock it till you try them, remember when everyone threw ling cod away as garbage fish. Maybe if people start to realize how good gophers taste they will have to set limits.

i was planning on trying a few this year, the only time i got out to hunt gopher was a day when coyote did not pan out in the early fall (farmer buddy lost a couple calves to them)
110gr vmax didnt leave much meat....

i have heard that coyote is pretty good eating as well
