I saw a show on TLC once that chronicled how a fellow came out and removed those rascals with a vacuum.

I would love to see and read more on this method. Would need to be quite the vacuum....8)
 
It was pretty funny because they had a camera mounted where the hose emptied the gophers into a box. You`d hear the vacuum sucking and then (BLOOP) you`d see one of those fellows come flying out of the hose and make a tumbling landing in the box. It did the trick!
 
so far to kill woodchucks I have used:

12 gauge
.222
.22
5' long piece of 4" channel iron
3' piece of 1/2" pipe
an excavator,
a haybine
sledgehammer to the head
my Dakota

thats about all I can think of right now,

good luck
 
Poison Peanuts sold at your local feed store.
Moth balls down the hole. (that sounded funny)
Stay away from; gas, c-4, nitro, lighter fluid, propane, anything that has duhhhh,.......................FIRE!
 
I've heard about dropping choclate X-Lax down one of the holes. Because it's made for an adult human, there is enough x-lax in one dose for it to give those little critters the runs so bad they can't keep water in them and they dehydrate themselves to death.
 
i have heard that prarie dogs make good pets, they will use a litter box just like a cat and they also have a pack mentality so they will follow you around the house.

I used to use a Remington Model 700 BDL chambered in 22-250 on ground hogs. It was very effective! Glass bedded barrel, Leupold scope, bi-pod, home loaded rounds. Those little bastard didnt stand a chance!
 
We had ground hornets here, my neighbors son poured about half a gallon of gas in the hole on his side of the hedge. He came over to warn me and failed to tell me about the gas. Well, he went back and threw a match at the hole! There was a incredible explosion he was a little singed and we had a small fire! NO MORE BEES! He did look funny without eyebrows, I had to explain the whole thing to his father. We still laugh about it.
 
when I moved into my house last year the intire front yard looked like that show Merkier Mannor but with gophers
I killed 7 in about 20 min.

stick a garden hose down a fresh hole they usually dig early in the morning after about 5 min. start pulling the hose back out have a shovel ready when he comes up for air, shovel him out and smack him or in my case I had a cat near by
I've also been told to buy a gopher snake they are harmless to humans but my wife wasn't going for it
 
OK, here's what you do, go to the local costume store & buy yourself a lady gopher costume, you know with giant rack and a sexy black lace bra & panties then you...... No wait, that's probably a bad idea.
 
well my old man said earlier to use the gopher gassers and another said the exhaust trick,in theory this is to work very well if you can locate all the holes in the surrounding area and plug them up so they get the highest concentration of gasses.but i think if you can get some bait food in the holes soaked in antifreeze it would f#$k him up good,i think any of the new antifreeze wont work cause there was a law passed that the co.'s had to put in an additive to make it bitter cause people were killing their dogs from spilling it.GOOD LUCK or get a jack russell terrier-marianne
 
I've been our there sweating myself to death for the last hour or so trying to locate a tunnel. Little bastard is headed towards my house now, which is particularly bad since I'm on pier and beam.
