- Trapping is a very effective method for controlling southeastern pocket gophers. A hay farmer near Bascom, Florida demonstrates the basic techniques he uses to trap pocket gophers that have invaded his hay field. Their mounds damage hay equipment used at harvest.
i like when moe calls curly a gopher face
Every time I've tried these traps the dang thing pushes dirt into it and sets it off without getting him, or it covers the whole thing in dirt to block the hole. I'm at my wits end.
Give Doug a call, he will get you in contact with me/ Or PM me on Face Book. . There are several methods I use for these critters. My hay field is now Gopher free. Just keep in mind it takes time and perseverance, and oh yeah... patience. No worries we can help you get this problem solved.
@@PeterSonnyFortunato You must also trap fence lines and road ditches too.....if you really want to take control......thats where they migrate from.....under heavy grass or brush.
i cant beleive im the only guy making caddy shack jokes do the same but with golfers
its just me your friend mr squrel & mr rabbit
Me too. Been trying to trap them for 2 weeks now. They just push dirt in the trap and it trips
It. So frustrating!
I can’t count how many times I’ve had a client ask me if I trap and relocate gophers 😆
Well then if you have had so many sounds like you need to figure out how to do and satisfy the thousands of customers that have asked you to trap and relocate. Make your customers happy dude!!!!

Or, you can mind your own business and trap your own gophers.
@@lesschattermoresplatter5769 Or you can keep posting this junk publicly and get feedback!
My Victor trap was stupid wouldn't set it kept activating so I notched the plate where the arms rest and it started working okay
Your first mistake......never probe or stand on or near a mound you plan to trap !!! This will encourage a gopher to plug the hole before the trap ! Second mistake....never open the tunnel as you did. If you are careful you can open the " main " single entry and only have one hole to deal with...and one trap to set. The way you opened it chances are there is another tunnel opposite the one you found. If you have two hole..abandon it until new digging occurs. Try again later. Ive been trapping gophers for 45 years.....use numerous traps...The Lanesboro GT 100 trap revolutionized my trapping ! If set correctly 99.9 success rate ! Out of the 300 gophers I trapped last year....I missed one. Water from a rain storm flushed the hole full of dirt. Gophers can and will become very trap smart ....almost impossible to get a second chance !
why not just tske a giant crap in the opening and gas em to death
Q
Shouldn’t have to kill any wildlife… for our human needs. Aren’t these critters protected by the State of Florida as well?
@@300tdavis
No they’re not protected. If you suddenly found yourself without your salad because of gophers you’d change your tune.
@@lesschattermoresplatter5769 I don't have salad and I don't have gohpers because I learned that if you just mess up their piles they leave. Simple! Very simple solution to eliminate gohpers on your property. And it didn't take a rocket scientist or someone such as you that has 45 years of trapping and killed 300 last year!!!! I bet you think are a proud MF for spewing that info! WTF dude!
my dr said go out and carry golf clubs around a couple times a week
So ahh what's that stick for?
Hahahaha.
I killed 5 and Me and my dog went toe to toe with one.
Ugly little guys when they are on survival mode. Killed it with a shovel. That was my first kill ever.. I felt guilty..lol..it was funny as hell
Wie kann man seine Lebenszeit mit so etwas verbringen?
is that a gopher hawk tool towards the end of this video?
These dummies should had never posted a video if they cant respond back to peoples comments..
@@BurtBowers I believe the white handled item on the left is the probe/digging tool used for the gopher hawk. I have the best luck with wooden box traps that are around 40 plus years old.
Sure wish I could hear what you'resaying
Put a. Few snakes in the holes, they"ll be gone;
