bye bye coon! Long live the tort!
ascott said:The ones that are at the house foundation: have you smoothed the entrance way and then leave and then check back a couple times a day for a week or two and see if they are active burrows? Sometimes they can be abandoned....if you find that they are not active--problem solved, if you find that they are active then you have an issue again---
Fence guy says he can fence off that section of the yard from the rest to keep the torts seperated and place a access tunnel under the fence so the gophers can leave the property if they want...seems like the way to go..
I must admit I have grown quite fond of the few I have seen.. Very inquisitive .. They will walk right under foot without fear.....
Only reason I even thought of the fence with the tunnels underneath
Before this you had a choice pay to move them or pay to entomb them( bury them alive and revenue collected on the permits was used to bring the population back. < makes no sense..)
