Go ahead and laugh but whenever I can shoot, trap or get one of these destructive critters BEFORE he hits my yard, it is a GOOD day!  |

It is the Gopher Hawk. A friend who takes care of the large public rest stops along the Interstate here in Oregon told me about using them.

What the hell is that? As in the critter and the pole spring thing?
Oops, looks like your answer beat my question.

He's a fat one, been eating pretty good.
Haven't heard of that trap before, it is like a snare?

It is a snare. Three sprig steel loops with a trigger hanging down in the middle. The kit comes with a 1/4" steel probe and a tapered hard plastic housing that you push into the run once you find it and it leaves a perfect fit hole to insert the trap in. Once in the run you hold the top part and slide the lower section p to set the trap and expose the snare. Slicker than snot on a door knob once you get the hang of locating the run since gophers tend to dig short tunnels to get rid of the spoils by digging 90* to the main run then another 90* to bring the spoils to the surface.

Those gopher hawks don't work here where I am in NM.
I heard they were the best thing since sliced bread and bought a half dozen of them.
Set them all over my yard and 0...zilch...nada...
My traditional gopher traps were catching 4 or 5 a week.
They may work for some but buy one and try it...
That's simply what I know...
