God bless American ingenuity. All it needs is a game camera, in case you’re not around when those damn little viet cong gophers stick their heads out of the ground. Man, with something like this you could start your own channel on You Tube.
How does having the bait at the butt end of the shotgun do any good ?
Those are ground squirrels not gophers.
Half of YouTube should be on YouFoolTube.
Looks like the “Non-Southern” redneck simply shot the thing by hand, saw no tipwire.
Technically, I think that set up is illegal. (Booby trap) Set that rig up to your front door and see what happens.
Nothing new. In WWI Canadian soldiers often rigged up a Ross rifle so when a rat took the bait, the rifle would fire and the bolt would fly out and kill the rat.
