First pocket gopher

I trapped the first pocket gopher for 2013.  When I burnt the NE pasture on Tuesday I noticed a few fresh dirt mounds.  It has taken me since Tuesday to get this pocket gopher as it kept filling the trap with dirt.   I think the pocket gopher tried to fill the trap with dirt again but got his or her back part trapped in the wire.

One down.... how many more to go this year?

This photo shows that Daisy thinks of pocket gophers the same as I do.  Here she is going to the bathroom in a spot the pocket gopher had dug up.
