coles Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 my dad just told me yesterday that the local sportsmens club is goin to have a gopher shooting contest. its 2 man teams and entry is $35. 1st prize is $500, 2nd is $300 and so on. i cant wait. you have to bring back every gopher that you shoot. my grandpa's ranch has thousands of gophers on it and i cant wait to kill some. it will help him out some too. he has been tryin to poison them for the last couple years with no real good outcome. man im excited.

toddyboman Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: gopher contest!!!! I hear the best poison to use is LEAD poison. I wish they was that plentiful around here. Here Im lucky to see 5 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: gopher contest!!!! my grandpa used to have some strichnine(sp?) oats and that was some bad stuff. they outlawed it though cuz it would also kill whatever ate the dead gopher. he had a spoon that he dished the oats out with and left it in his toolbox for almost a year and used it to dish out some cat food and almost killed his cats. he had forgotten what he had used that spoon for. that is some bad stuff. we put some out a long time ago andwent back 5 mins later and there was a dead gopher laying there. but now he uses some kind of blood thinner stuff. they have to eat it a couple times before it works. but i like shooting them more.
