Go go gopher killer

This is what my friend says to me, when I catch a new gopher (Go go gopher killer!).

See, we've had this gopher problem since moving in to the new rental property. The landlord was pleasantly surprised when I told her we had gophers (oblivious as to what they are or to the damage they do) so I knew it was up to me to do something about them. I had recently created new vegetable gardens, a new flower bed, and my bf cursed when he mowed the lawn because the ground is very uneven from the gopher damage. Still, we co-existed with the gophers peacefully for 4 months. Then one day, bf came in from the front yard and said to me, "Honey, did you move one of those pretty decorative grasses you planted in the new bed out front?" Well, that did it. I went out to look and my new plant was gone - no stump, no tell-tale hole, just gone. NOW the gopher is costing me money! I went to a local plant sale 2 weeks later and met a gopher trapper who was selling cinch traps. He kindly explained to me how to determine where to place the trap and showed me, twice, how to set it. The following Thursday I spotted a new mound in the backyard and my trap was already set, on the counter in the garage. Donning my leather gloves, I dug out the new mound, found the tunnel and set the trap inside. The next morning, my first gopher! I had a week of peace before two new mounds showed up in the front yard, exactly one week after the first mound (must be something about gophers and Thursdays). I set my trap and last and this morning, the score is 2:0, in my favor.
