I cut a dead tree down in my yard, and sometime in the last two weeks this burrow appeared. Opening is a bit larger than a football.

Should I trap it, or build a sniper's hide and wait for it with my NVG and my suppressed .22?

They are listed and protected as a threatened species in FL. They weren't when I was a kid and they were commonly eaten. People would go "gopher hookin'" You'd take a long aluminum rod 15 feet long, about 3/8" in diameter with a 1"
hook bent on the end and run it down the burrow and feel for the gopher then try to hook it by the shell and drag it out. I can remember seeing a fellow that had about a dozen in the bed of his truck that he had hooked that day. They lay their eggs this time of year and burrows are more commonly seen. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, the unique shape gives it away. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Gopher tortoise. Protected species. I believe even their burrows are protected I does look like one, but I'm willing to bet Possum on the half shell being that it is located under the wood pile. Wood piles are excellent food sources for armadillos. |

'She' went to the bathroom and the kind bartender informed me that 'she' was a 'he.' I said, "No way!" He said "Way." When he came back to the bar I said "See you later, dude." Not as in "I'll see you later." Oh, never mind... |
