My Grandpa Dale McBride taught me how to catch my gopher while we were up visiting. So I brought my knowledge home with me. Made a trip down to ace hardware for a few items.Came home and put a trap down in one of his holes that he has been digging and tearing up my front lawn! it took a couple tries. Never caught him but took some skin flesh and hair off jim. He must of died in the ground? We have not had any more holes or mounds! We went to Jeff's work and went out to lunch then took the boys to go see Santa at Bass Pro Shop.
