strick Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Been a while since I've posted anything. It's been a busy spring and summer for me with work so I have only managed two day trips to the foot hills and two long weekend trips into the high sierras over the past several months.Then I decided I wanted to build a greenhouse because the rodents were getting into our vegetable garden. That ate up three weekends. Lisa and I are having fun meeting up with new friends in the middle of nowhere. All of you are members of this board. Our thanks for all your help and valuable tips... I even managed a quick 3 hour hunt with Deathray last week to a good relic spot. Some photos of our finds and some of the scenery. strick 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 What's this!!! No brush! No cliff faces! No downed trees! Wild flowers! Nice short grass! No thunder and lightening! No dust or mud! Close to home! No bears or mountain lions! THAT IS NOT DETECTING!!! YOU AND D Ray SHOULD BE ASHAMED. I will be sending you a box full of gophers that can chew through a concrete side walk so keep your dog inside. No- I'm not jealous. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Strick. would you send me some info on those traps. I have a scraggly, mean, stinky old Manx cat that used to catch one a day but he's getting to old. I have to use old watering troughs to grow my garden in because of the gophers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The greenhouse is nicer than my house. Sweet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strick Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 The Black box (made by Victor) http://www.victorpest.com/store/mole-and-gopher-control/b0625-3 is the best trap that I have found that you can buy locally at Home depot or Lowes. Even then it's hard to keep up with all the gophers on my measly little acre of land. You kill one and five come to the funeral... strick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
