Pocket gopher milestone

I trapped three pocket gophers today and reached a milestone. I have trapped 212 pocket gophers this year and that exceeds 2006's total of 209. I am now in second place behind last year's total of 322 pocket gophers trapped. I'm not going to exceed that total, and that is ok.

I still have not reached the south fence of the hayfield. I am in an area that is thick with gophers and probably will be trapping them until the snow falls and the ground freezes. Still I made it further south than I ever have, and I take that as a sign of progress in my fight against the pocket gophers.
