This fall I’m going to make a pipe exhaust from a 4 hp Briggs

FYI Tom, I tried that with pocket gofers and moles and it seems like they block off their tunnels before they run out of air. I could see the exhaust coming out of the ground all over the field.

But give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

PS those plunger styles aren’t worth the space they take up in the garage.

Ive tried this also , and from what i could tell , it didnt even slow them down . Also tried flooding the runs with water . Threw away all the plunger style traps a few years ago and bought a couple of the steel scissors traps . Have had good success with them . This year i have trapped 4, our cats have caught 3 that i know of .

Well I blasted 1 gopher this afternoon with the .410 while it poked its head out of the hole. It was much more fun then trapping them.

I think I’ll order one of those Motomco or Tomcat traps, looks like you kind of just dig a little trench, place them and step down on the yellow lever thing?

You’ll only need to dig if the ground is hard using the Tom Cats.
