    This is a bit embarrassing but I'm going to tell on myself. I'm in my early 60's and have heard about Gophers my entire life, but not too long ago I realized I didn't really know what they were (could have googled them but it wasn't that important). As far as furry burrowing critters go I know what Marmots (ground hogs), Rabbits/Hares, Prairie Dogs, Moles, Mole Rats, Shrews and ground Squirrels are, but didn't have a clue as to Gophers, have never actually seen one till today.

      naw, my dog works better at that than our 3 cats. Out of the three cats, only 1 goes outside, but is too old to catch anything. The other 2 don't care to catch anything ever. But our carolina dog mix sure does love to catch anything that digs in the yard, she has even caught and killed Rats that were pilfering from our garden all summer long. She doesn't care to eat them thankfully, just enjoys the hunt. She also tries to hunt bees.... she still hasn't learned her lesson unlike other beekeepers have told me she eventually would. 2 years on and she still can't help herself.

      thing with cat is, they have to be raised to do it from a young age to be consistent. It's a hard thing to do. You basically have to get them very young and not get them used to being fed at all. They need to ''hunt''.
      I've seen some real hunters on farms where I lived as a kid but, to be honest, the farmers mostly just welcomed stray cats on their land as they made the best hunters!

    This was a really nice video, I enjoyed the length and amount of material in this video.
    You previewed the golfer, showed how you caught it, displayed its abilities in your custom farm, and then released it. I think it's hard to come up with new and lengthy ideas all the time but I definitely like this.
    If I may give my two cents in, I don't appreciate as much the showing the pet mice falling for a trap in your usual trap displays
