Pocket gophers, cont.

Me: 2
Cats: 1

That's grossly unfair of course since the cats eat the gophers. i.e. I have no real way of knowing how many they've caught.

My second score this season was also from the Black Hole trap...it's not the best trap on the market but it's the only one I can set. The McAbee style trap is too hard for me to set, and the Victor one as well (that's the one that sits on top of the tunnel).

It sounds like a small catch but every time you remove one gopher, there are that many fewer holes and mounds in the yard. Definitely worth the patience and effort.
