Tominator Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I think I'd employ a smoke bomb and a shovel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I think I'd employ a smoke bomb and a shovel. Yeah, they make a carbon monoxide bomb to throw down a hole. They will never surface. But you need to also know where the other holes are, to make sure they are covered up as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 This can best be summed up by the immortal words of Carl Spackler, "License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote." And for those who dont know who that is, here is a picture. A true man of Wisdom.... this man truly knows varmints. I personally would use his method of C4 'So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

Buckslayer Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I also vote forming baby woodchucks from C4 and deploying them down the hole. Actually try peanut butter bread in the trap. Thats my best suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackmaster4 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I live-trap several a year out of people's gardens who I do lawn work for. Plain old Fresh lettuce. You might have to replace it two or three times a day, but you should catch the little fella in a day or two. If you're not gonna kill him while he's still in the trap, keep one thing in mind. They don't always run away from you when you release them. Have a shovel and/or a place to get away, they can run fast. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartonman Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I have always had great luck with the lettuce as well.........I will sometimes shred a large carrot as well....and keep reseting the trap once the big one is gone, there are probably young ones in the ground also..........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Well, we don't have groundhogs down this way so I can't be of much help, but I will say this........some body has been watchin' a little too much TV!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the kind. It works too, binds them up inside and they die. May not be the way you want to go but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
