My step son shot his first two gophers the other day. Talk about excited he was more pumped than when he shot his first deer.
Skook is the GOPHER Valhalla of the East Koots.....Sort of like CLearwater is to trophy Mule Deer (Sorry Dana...)

I think what you are after are indeed as others have posted Columbian Ground Squirrel's. I don't even know if we call them gophers here in B.C.? I've never shot them and some other threads on here talk about certain closed area's so check it out before you go.
I've killed hundreds maybe thousands of Richardson Ground Squirrel's in the prairies and they definately have the "gopher" title. Mostly in shooting parties like your talking about and with .22's too.

You are right..They are ground squirrels, Colomcian Ground Squirrels to be exact.....but we just call tehm "gophers", its easier and shorter...

That rodenator is waaay cool. I love shooting them but blowing them up would be cool too!
