MuZZyMomentZ Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 As a prelude to this story I live in Studio City California now, but I am originally from Oklahoma. A hunter since age 8, my predatorial instincs are sharp and keen. So it is no doubt that when I saw the gopher prance in front of my front fence as if to say, "Your yard is mine, buddy" I sprung into action. What type of weaponry would be suited for this type of a hunt? The trusty browning pocket knife. I crept out the back door in an attempt to put a stalk on the unknowing quarry. Rounding the corner of the house I saw the mighty foe in the distance, none the wiser to my presence. I took cover behind a palm tree and waited, my hunter intuition taking over. It was the calm before the storm. All of the sudden the rabid creature sprung around the corner in an attempt to latch onto my jugular, but my savvy knifework was too much for him. A clean killing blow to the back of the neck was more than the worthy adversary could handle. Making the official score MuzzyMomentz 1, Gopher 0. Here are the pics of the brutal encounter.. . . . . . . . . Check out these teeth, I am taking him in to see if he will score B&C. And the moral of the story is... You can take a man out of the woods, but you can't take the woods out of a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerdanmagic Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: Late season trophy gopher.. What will that pelt fetch at market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuZZyMomentZ Posted January 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: Late season trophy gopher.. Well the ivory alone is worth $2,500 an incisor. As far as the pelt is concerned I think it's just too valuable to let go. I believe I'm gonna knit a pair of un-mentionables for my lady friend. (Insert your own dirty gopher joke here) But seriously, I won't be having it mounted. Perhaps a replica for the den.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
