Thank you so much
This is the only thing that worked to eliminate my gopher problem. Worth the investment!
I agree, I own 3
Hallo my new friens, I love watching a really good post. Good luck always. Greetings from Indonesia 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Thank you so much
Set the Hawk, hear the pop, see the yellow, say goodbye little furry fellow! Ole Trappers poem-2021
Never heard before, but they are the best! Caught over 40 so far!
@@BondedOakAcres Just made it up. So what's the bag limit in your neck of the woods?
@@barclaysauers255 there is no bag limits on gophers! But are bag limits on other animals! Depends on what you are going after!
I bought one from ACE yesterday and caught one about two hours later. The nice thing is that it’s easy to install without afraid to snap my fingers and easy to drop off the dead moles without touch it, it’s the best trap that I ever had.
THEY ARE TRULY REALLY EASY TO USE AND GREAT TO GET RID OF THEM LITTLE SUCKERS!
It’s best to gently tug on the hawk & dig around it before pulling it out of the ground. You never know when it’ll be trapped by the paw & still be alive - easy for them to escape. If u feel/see movement of the hawk, it’s still alive & u need to dig it out with a shovel then manually kill it.
I got a long auger to drill the holes. It's a little smaller than the trap, but easy to widen with the tool.
appreciate the vid, thank you. i have a golf course lawn and deal with moles every year. this may be the ticket for along the boarder edges of the grass
This trap is amazing, caught over 40 gophers this year!
Ok, these really do work.
I had my doubts but I got them dialed in and have had success...
Even work when you find the mound, just clear away the dirt find his entrance and set one, the often come back to repair the opening.
Also remember that the Boring tool actually seals the tunnel, thus the start digging again, you shouldn't be able to see them.
I agree it seals the tunnel or at least mostly. I happen to see one after the trap had bet set off. I pulled the trap out and one crawled through the opening while I was standing there. I reset the trap in the same spot and 15 mins later I caught it.
@@BondedOakAcres
Yeah just talked to my neighbor, she caught another, guess I'll have to set more for her...
Thanks for the review.
You are so welcome!
Been fighting with a victor trap for a week now, time to invest in a gopherhawk. The victor trap is almost impossible for me to set up without the help of my husband, which angers me to no end. Don't like being dependent but the Victor trap definitely shows you your limitations.
These traps are amazing
Well the problem I’m running into with it is that my entire lawn soil is all soft. It’s well watered. So everywhere I stick the probe it’s soft. Hard to tell where the run is even poking around the holes
I have sugar sand, it's hard at times. You should feel like a void when you are probing around for the tunnels. Should be a little resistance then all of sudden it will drop like 1-2 inches suddenly when it reaches the tunnel.
I like my gopherhawk. I got lucky; 1st time catch! It is a great tool, but like every tool, it is all about application.
Totally agree!
I like
I'm sure I'll be fighting gophers soon. We're building a homestead basically down the road from you in Overton and just started our channel. Good to see other folks in our area on this journey!
I just Subscribed, gophers are terrible little critters! As of this morning, I am at 9 gophers in the last 5 days. Ya'll are more than welcome to come visit!
@@BondedOakAcres Thanks for the support! We may have to get together soon- yall holler if there's anything you need help with!
Nice vid. How’d you know you hit the wrong tunnel the first time ? 3:11
The gophers got me playing battleship on my lawn.
I usually shine a flashlight in the hole I made and you should be able to see their tunnel most of the time.
👍👍
Bought this week ago put it in the ground ten minutes later caught one caught second one not long after, I bought just the trap alone no probe which all I do is shove the water hose in the hole for minute then set the hawk at a 45° angle & presto you catch a varment in a short time.
Burt:
That's an interesting idea, good alternative for probing try to find a tunnel??
Caught another one last night!
Yes ma'am
Best demonstration I've seen so far! I'm ordering a starter kit (trap, tool and probe) immediately to try it out. Do you know of any discounts or coupons for these?
I do not, but thank you so much on your comment.
Get them, messing the yard up!
that reaming reminded me of a movie i saw once
Lol
@@BondedOakAcres the soundtrack is different though lacking a whole lot of oooos and awwhhhs.
i also did the pet hotel with the lower escalator, very nice!!
my dirt is damp. hard finding tunnel when I put pull stake out of ground
That can be an issue
My second try so far and both moles tunnelled around the trap.
I have never tried to catch any moles, only gophers.
Try putting some sunflower or pumpkins seeds. It worked for me
I've been having my gopher hawk get buried
more often in the last couple months, any
ideas? I'm using the same methods I did in
the spring and I'm up to 80 gophers for the
year.
I haven't that happen yet, are you close to previous mound? I usually set mine up 8-10 inches away from the current mound I setting up next too.
@@BondedOakAcres I typically try to trap closest to the freshest mound but outside of the “T” in the main tunnel. I guess I should’ve mentioned I’m in a sandy area. They been filling up the cage with sand without tripping it. The traps are all in good shape. I’m using the same method I have earlier in the season, just not sure why it’s happening more frequently all of the sudden 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like a good product!
I have gotten 7 gophers in the last 4 days!
@@BondedOakAcres Wow! Impressive!
@@hilchan9657 make that 8 now
@@BondedOakAcres LOL you're on a roll! That's got to be a record!
This is a big, nope. You need moist/damp soil to get this in the ground. I live in a desert. Very hard dry ground Once I finally got it set up...... Well. I use the long rod with a handle to look for tunnels. The rest of the trap went to the dump.
I have 3 traps and 2 of the tunnel probs/tool. I have never had a problem, but we do have sandy loom soil here in Easy Texas.
Note to self....look into the camera lens, not the display.
Thank you for the reminder, I will try to remember that.
I have two of these , watch numerous videos and set them 20 plus times and not one caught
I am sorry to hear that, I have been pretty lucky
Put some sunflower seeds in the hole before putting the gopherhawk in the hole!!
1 year later ...... Did You get rid of your Gophers?
Don't have as many as I did
I need to start using them again, been slacking lately.
I have set two of these pieces of crap up at least 15 times in the last two weeks and find that all it does is send the gopher to another area to dig up another mound and destroy another part of the yard. I haven't caught a thing with them, fixin to send them back.
That's no good, I have caught over 40 so far this year with two traps. I am truly sorry to hear that they are not working for you.
@@BondedOakAcres caddy shack gopher? Elusive pita lol
MAYBE!
Ok, so I stand corrected. Since last posting this I have caught 4 of the little yard destroyers and completely eliminated them all, for now. I retract my previous statement, this thing is awesome.
Do you know if they ship to Mexico?
I do not know, you may try emailing their customer service. I am no way affiliated with them. I just tried their product out and truly love it. Definitely works better than anything else I have tried!
Where in Mexico? If you're anywhere near Sonoran i can probably get one to you.
Mine didn't come with the hole spike?
It should be inside of the tool you use to make the hole.
BTW - I don't have gophers, but have plenty of moles.
I don’t have gophers either, but moles. I’ve caught two in our backyard in the last few weeks. Works great. Learned that you need to dig around a tripped trap to prevent animal from being pulled out of the trap sometimes.
Agreed
I have not tried it on moles yet.
Gopher still alive in the trap what do I do? Help
Not to sound ugly, but please dispatch it. Use a shovel or garden hoe.
gopher or mole?
Gopher, haven't tried it on moles yet
