Back in the
Midwest, I have also seen gophers captured live by pouring a 1 gallon
milk jug of water down the hole, then leaving the jug upside down at the
hole.

I don't think that will work with pocket gophers, though, as they will
plug the runway behind themselves and keep the water out.

Someone else suggested a .22, but the problem with that is that pocket
gophers almost never come onto the surface. Think moles... or a mole
on steroids.
