Do yours seem to have a diploma in surveying? Buggers seem to like diggin in wheel tracks here. Brutal!

Impressive animal none the less. I remember running one over inadvertently with the tandem grain truck and he came out the back end more pissed off than ever

Haha yes never fails to find almost every hole they dig. Besides lead any remedies to get rid of them? they are one tough animal.

Thought this was going to be a yield peril of the day thread. That way we can go through all 5000 different ways we can lose yield farming here in the asshole of creation. Have lost canola due to gophers. They just eat everything above ground at night. Tried peas and canola intercrop one year: gophers (Richardson ground squirrels) ate all the canola next to their burrows but left the peas alone.
