What do you do with the gophers, especially if they are still alive when you pull out the trap? Thanks. I just mowed my small lawn and got it looking beautiful, then I woke up to five large mounds all over the place. I almost cried.
Absolutely love this thing!! Lady i work for has had a problem with gophers for years. I've tried everything till I found this. Caught 4 in one week.. totally totally totally recommended this product!!
I got one from Amazon and watched a couple of videos that made it such a process , that I didn’t use it for months until this video popped up & I set it with ease this morning , waiting for results ! Good job, sir ! John
This trap works great! I have 3 traps in the past week I’ve caught two gophers. Working on another that has moved into the opposite side of my yard this morning. If they are not available locally the manufacturer sells them direct on Amazon. Plus they are made in the USA.
This thing works great! I killed too many gophers a couple of years ago, tho, and voles moved in, holes everywhere..would rather have the gophers. I let a few gophers live on the edges of my yard to keep the voles away. If they start moving into the yard, I then put my Gopher Hawk to work!
Thats the thing, Whos got 20mins to carve out an elaborate scheme to catch infinte critters.the easier to set the dang thing the more gophers youll snare. This is wicked and effective. Them inline traps are good once. Seriously then diggem back out. Long overdue product thats effective
Wish I had earth like that.... my decomposed granite is so hard to find their tunnels, and using the "wedge" is almost impossible. I have 1 successful kill from these
I am going on the hunt tomorrow...gonna burn the hair off and slap it on the griddle and put in a tortilla with some avocado and hot sauce. Hopefully it’s a quarter pounder!
The problem I am having is their paths are on top, not deep(mulch bed) so its hard to keep the gopherhawk standing straight up since its so top heavy. Its always leaning the next morning, Is it ok to pack it down some around the trap? I pretty much have to flatten the tunnel to keep it from falling
You don't really need the kit. I used a long flat screwdriver to find the runs, worked perfectly. I have a cone-shaped gopher bait bottle that dug the hole.
@@jonm345 so far I have caught two. I have gophers in my back yard and on a side parkway area. The soil on the parkway area is pretty soft and loose and I have had no problem finding tunnels there, and that is where I have had success. The soil in the back if hard packed and difficult to find the actual run they're using. The metal snare at the end of the trap needs some reshaping occasionally but do recommend this trap, it's the simplest one I have ever seen.
Did you pull up on the outer sleeve (black part) while holding the top of the plugger steady? You don't want to push down on the plugger. I think it helps to do it quickly. As long as the yellow band isn't showing the trap is set.
I wish it was easier to set the trap. I had an extremely hard time setting the trap once I found the tunnel and I mangled the trap. He made it look so easy but it wasn't for me. I don't recommend for a person who doesn't have much upper body strength.
I have to say...aside from a great product, this is one of the most well done videos I've seen on TH-cam. Nice job.
Way better than Ice Road Truckers. No comparison.
I've killed 37 so far.
No wayyyy lol
Awesome trap! Finally something that works. I caught 3 big gophers this week and am reclaiming my yard.

Ever since i discovered this trap and video tutorial, ive caught about 15 gophers. This trap saved my backyard.
100%. This trap works and is worth every penny.
Gopher heard everything you said and has made his escape,will return when you give up.
😂
I caught my first today!!

Great review. Caught my gopher within 2 hours of installing the trap.
Was any animals hurt in the making of this video?
I hope so. Damn vermin! 😆
After setting, took a shower. While dressing I saw that the trap was sprung. Caught it! All in 30 minutes! Great product.

you get voles with a peanut butter baited mouse trap and put a 5 gal bucket over it.

Best trap by far, like he said pull otherwise it will bend snare, replacements are $6 online free shipping.
It was recommended to me to bury the dead gopher back in the hole, as the rest of the gophers will avoid the carcass.

😆
If you don't have perfect dirt like in the video then forget it.
😂 my dirt is hard so it’s kind of a pain
Put the golfer back in the hole so other golfers won’t use that hole
That trap is amazing! I've trapped many gophers with it!
thanks, clear instructions.
Good video bro 👍🏽
WireTek trap is better100%!
Anyone using anything else rather then the gopherhawk has serious mental illness...
Great instrumental video! I’m buying one🙂. Thanks a lot bud✌️🙂

Traps keep getting sprung a day or two after setting them, but no gopher...any advice?
Do they die immediately. I fit want it to suffer. Instant death?
It works great my first one broke so I ordered a new one but the new one won't set
Amazing trap. I'm 7 for 8 in 2 weeks.
I borrowed one of these and now I own one. My uncle is using it now so I might get another and give him mine. Love it.
Best video on gopher control 👌🏻
Gopher Hawk is doing God's work
I got one yesterday & 2 today! Thanks!
Huge gopher behind you dude.
For mor information go to jakeslongview.com
how far down do have to dig to put the trap in?
Gopher got ✨yeeted✨
The Gopher Hawk has been a dud for me. Moles just fill the trap chamber with dirt and tunnel around it.
Maybe you're letting light get in? Or maybe you're not setting the trap in the main run?
starts at 1:18.
very nice clear guide!
How much do the traps cost... Price of a set (trap and probe)? Price of just the trap(without the probe)?
I am not at the store. So please call the store for pricing. 903-663-3139
My local Co-op has the entire kit for $32.
Is the trap reusable?
YES
I just got one but without the kit..... I think I'll be ok
You don't really need the kit. I used a long flat screwdriver to find the runs, worked perfectly. I have a cone-shaped gopher bait bottle that dug the hole.
Great video!
I just set two of these. We'll see.
How did it go?? Considering purchasing this trap..

Hi -- should we hear a "click" or feel it snap into place when the trap is set? Neither my husband nor I can get it set. Maybe a defective one?

The trap gets easier to set as the spring gets 'broke in' .
I use my chest at the end and use both hands to pull the trap up. I hear ya.
