Gopher Everet?!?

So we had a fun friend this summer that made my front lawn a sink hole and full of holes. I was so sick of looking at the holes and dirt mounds that I thought I am going to flush it out. I turned the hose on full blast and stuck it down one of the holes, for about 15 minutes. I never saw water come out anywhere. I figured I was dealing with something crazy. I consulted my neighbor he said he thought it was a family of gophers because he had never seen it this bad. GREAT!!! So we set some traps but they kept digging around them.

Until one day SUCCESS!!! We caught one and we did not have any more troubles with them. It was only one very busy gopher!! We found out that a gopher can have tunnels 300 feet long!! I am sure glad we caught him, Spencer had to "take care" of him
