Dogs are useless where I am, gophers are too damn smart. Got three more yesterday and nine more this morning. Bloody gopher town beside the house now is all I got left


12398+12=12410

Buddy and myself 400+ in 5 hrs today. He was laughing because he had never seen so many in one spot. May as well been at an arcade. Beauty day.

13020 + 400 = 13420

Went out with my bow for the first time this year. I got 16 confirmed, my buddy forgot his release and took a shot with my bow and nabbed one. My son was also with us. He got another 4, bringing us up to 21 for the day.

13446+21=13467

79 shots ... six misses, but .......78 gophers

Gotta love the little ones when they roll around, fighting with each other and then pause for a second. Whammo, two gophers with one shot. Even managed to get 3 gophers with one shot.

13845 + 78 =13923

Out for first time this year, 112 gophers, including 3 doubles. Bonus round was one magpie and one crow. Only got in about an hour and a half before it clouded up and got cold. Gophers weren't cooperating after that.

Count 13,923+112=14,035

I sure miss living in Calgary. There are gophers around Edmonton but the patches are usually quite small and quite a few miles between them. Not any where near the concentration or prevalence there was around Calgary. Used to shoot over 10,000 a year myself living down there. Maybe have to try further east.

I don't have an exact count. The very conservative estimate I will add is 175. Quite windy and the gophers weren't too keen on "playing". Managed a triple with the 222. Also managed to blood the .204. It cartwheeled a gopher a solid 15' stage right! 14072 + 175= 14247.
