First pocket gophers trapped this year

After I burnt the grass in my ditches the other day, I discovered new pocket gopher dirt mounds at the south end of the ditch.  The dirt was fresh.   Oh... the pocket gophers have started for the year.

Four dirt mounds. I set out four traps this morning.  At sundown I checked the traps and I found three dead pocket gophers.  Hopefully I get the fourth pocket gopher tomorrow.   Then I will have to check other parts of the south hayfield and south pasture in case there are other pocket gophers on the move.
