i just flush them out and toss them off the cliff in my backyard lol

im tryn asses risk of bringing my shotgun out and killing the fuck cuz ive watched it enough to know its hole both sides about what time of day it comes out to eat and how it gets under bothmy fucking chicken wire fences into those 3 plants..my other one which still isnt very big but still i got the second chicken wire fence dug in a little which the gofer cant dig under.... that seems to be key so i know exactly what to do next year
oh yeah and its all on my propertie but is like 20-30 feet away from someone eleses but i mean i got everyting nice and hidden and its in a circle of woods that i call no mans land lol cuz no one takes care of it and no one ever has lol

All i can think about is bill murray in caddie shack

Some rabbit shaped c4

Take it from a guy who has sold every gofer product for years at home depot in s. Cali. No poison, smoke, water craziness will ever get rid of em for good. Those just push them away for a while. Only permanent solution is traps. Simple gofer traps/ usually 2 for $10 package. Just follow manufactures instructions and use a finer chicken wire at a greater depth/ about 1 foot deep ought to do it. Good luck!

Ever tried road flares? They always work for me.
I cut about a 3" section, light it with a torch, and push down into the hole.
As the smoke starts to come out of the other holes, just go around and kick a little dirt over them.
The sulphur kills 'em pretty quick.

i have a racoon trap that i just rembered about

I made cages that i sunk in the ground out of 1/2 in. welded wire to surround the roots because I know them little buggers will be around. Its the only thing I've done that really works. I do remember years ago getting up early in the morning and taking my bow and arrows out to kill goffers. I would just find an active hole and sit real quiet about 10 ft. away and wait. When they work the hole they will come about half way out to push the dirt away and then I'd shoot them. They can hear footsteps on the ground, and will head deeper into the burrow if you move around, so quiet is the key to successfully hunting them.

I like the flare idea, never tried that one. I did have an old car years ago that smoked like the devil . I ran a line from the exhaust into the holes to kill them with the fumes, didn't work real well but it was worth a try. Just pushed their progress back a bit. I probebly didn't plug all the other holes like I should have.

I think my cats killed more goffers than I ever could.

road flares are perchlorate, not sulphur. It kills humans, banned in cali, and stays in the ground water for a long time. Thats why it kills them.

Put a homemade fence around you babes. I learned the hard way too.. skunks tore up 15 of my newly planted clones at the start if the season. I put up a fence after salvaging the plants were survivable and they havent been dug up or anything.

A friend who studied horticulture at the University of Georgia stated gophers don't burrow deeper than 18 inches. I wasn't so sure that our California gophers don't burrow deeper, so I made cylinders (no bottom) of 1/2" wire, 24 inches deep, placed them in each planting site, backfilled and planted. Haven't experienced any gopher damage to MJ crop, just everything planted around it.. those rascal gophers. I've also spent my time (armed with my grandsons .22 Ruger revolver) waiting for gophers to pop their heads up. All my hours invested waiting resulted in a paltry three dead gophers. I'm absolutely going to run the cages again next spring.. they work for me!

Good one! I never tried that personally but I have heard it a few times. Also heard smoke bombs, chlorine gas, burning diesel, and lots more from customers & grounds keepers. Its all just temporary my friends; the gophers always come back. Traps or hunting cats is the only permanent solution. I have neighbors with no class who never care for their property an a water dept. access road where gophers can spread, then their new generation comes back to my house the next season. You have to be vigilant and always watchful-if you see a mound or a hole you need a trap or a cat right away.

or a gun lol i just blew the fuckers head off
