Your fine video brought back many vivid trapping memories of my childhood on the farm. Love the background music and your clever signage on the lathe near the end, Thanks much.
Do you ever dig out the hole with a shovel to expose both sides of the tunnel where it splits? Or do you always dig out the holes with your burrow buddy as in this video?
I think that the stakes that I'm using are too small in diameter. Is there anything that I can do to use as a filler to stop trap movement so that the gopher wont be spooked? Also do you ever cover the hole with something or just leave it open?
I do not cover or bait, the open burrow is the bait, the natural instinct of the gopher is to fill up the opening, he will get caught when pushing dirt to fill the opening. With a tight fitting set hole, the trap jaws will be in the dirt at sides, and will hold the trap firm, It is important , nothing should move but the trigger, place stake firm against V end of eye
If you plant the castor oil bean plant on your land, it will definitely not come again, do not kill a piece of land, it is a very useful animal for nature. don't kill, miss forever
That Burrow Buddy looks like it really comes in handy in preserving your lawn as much as possible.
Is the burrow buddy available at any trapping retailer? Or where is it available?
Great video. Especially for beginner trappers like me. Thanks for the content.
