we had a gopher problem ok....so one day i dig out a tunnel
i'm like bill murry i worked at a golf course and got paid to do it.
but i burried a grip trap...and was checking it out because it was tripped...
so i'm thinkin... cool i got one...
ya bastages...
i go and kneel down to empty the trap grabbing it out
of the main tunnel.... and son of BEOTCH it wasn't
a gopher i caught but a three foot
pissed off snake...
which recoiled and yanked that trap back out of my hands
so freakin fast it scared the crap out of me....
because it coulda been
a rattler (rattlesnake)
i've had many many adventures with those!
but luckily it was a gopher snake instead.
but anyways.... talk about fast...them gophers could
duck a 22 long rifle bullet if you aimed for their head
which would pop up just like at the shooting gallery.
so i had to skip the damned bullet off the dirt just in front
of the whole to gettem
...and i'd still just catch them in the head
