Crazy Critter Competition

3 Attachment(s)

Alright guys does anybody know what the Critter of the day is, it was taken at Horse Shoe Canyon, Drumheller. There were loads of them and they made holes in the ground?

So far I've had:

Yellow Bellied Marmot

Ground Squirrel

Gopher

Ground Hog

Wood Chuck

So what do you guys think it is?

Gopher.

And I know what my neighbour would say if I saw one: "do you want me to shoot it?"

Btw ground hog and wood chuck are the same animal.

Looks kind of like a prairie dog (at least I think it does - i've only ever seen on in a zoo!)

Re: Crazy Critter Competition

yup definately a gopher and whilst they look cute they are a pest and are also very stupid.

There was a time only a few years back that kids were being offered x amount of cents per gopher tail by local councils as they are that much of a nuisance.

It is considered an inherent redneck passtime to shoot gophers for something to do when you're bored :rofl:

We've found using a tank of propane and length of hose puts them to sleep quite effectively. Add a flame if you want additional entertainment.

If you own horses or cattle you can very easily do that.

These "cute critters" are a real danger to large animals. :frown:
