I really appreciate the answer. How many miles roughly? Just across Hwy 2 or should I pack a lunch for the trip.

You shouldn't have to travel very far around Olds to see gophers in a field;
there are gophers all over/under Central and Southern Alberta. The trick is to find a good location (clear fields of fire) and landowner that is willing to allow access for pest control. You should be able to find a good shoot within an hour of Olds if you drive the gravel roads and keep your eyes open. Look for pastures and fresh cut hay fields this time of the year.
BTW- always pack a lunch and bring plenty of coffee and water, it can be a long day on the field.

Check with stables/riding schools. Get yourself something like this https://www.cabelas.ca/product/92486...rrel-air-rifle
and you can shoot in closer quarters, with less noise than a firearm.
