Default Gopher Update
In article , says...


That freaking gopher is doing so much damage. I filed the hole with water
today to try and drown the sucker, water started coming out everywhere. I
thought the ground was going to drop.
The gopher is winning. I have a few more things I am going to try next week.


Just thinking outside the box and never having seen a gopher or a gopher
hole and not knowing the gopher temperament.

What about ferrets?

They use hunting ferrets to flush rabbits in Britain.

I've heard of hunting ferrets used on rats.

The question is, could they be used for gopher control?
