Trapping gophers again

Another year, another attempt at getting rid of gophers. When in the pasture the past few days I heard the warning chirps of regular gophers. I also saw a few running across the grass to their holes.

*sigh*

Today I got my traps out and set them in the north pasture.

"But I thought you had eradicated the gophers from the north pasture last year?"

I did, but this year I found many of the old holes are now open again. (I cover the holes with dirt after trapping out the gophers.)

Tomorrow I'll see how many gophers I have trapped.

I looked around briefly for pocket gopher mounds but found none. It is still early yet as the babies have/are being born and the parents are sticking close to home and not making new tunnels.
