Well what we call pocket gophers in Nebraska sure leave mounds, big ones. Will bounce you right out of a tractor seat if you don't do anything to keep them knocked down, and are hell on haying machinery. We use a machine called the Elston Gopher Getter, goes in the ground and builds an artificial burrow, and has a box like a planter box for poison bait, oats or milo, drops a tablespoon full of bait every couple of feet in the burrow. Works pretty well, but like anything else, you just gotta keep after em. When we flood irrigate hay fields, water runs into the gopher holes, and will bring the soaking wet boogers up out of the ground, they don't like running water. We have a Chocolate Lab that loves to go along irrigating hay fields so he can catch gophers and kill them, but he walks right away from them once they're dead. I've never seen him eat one, and they can be tuff for him to kill. Little boogers are blind as a bat, but have long, sharp teeth in front, right below their nose. It can be pretty comical to watch when one latches onto the dogs lip. :shock: The only vermin in our country that leave bigger mounds in the fields are badgers, and their's are a lot fewer, and farther between.
