We're going to have people out there with their firearms blasting away at the gophers," she said.

i think the tree huggers are right... we can come up with a pleasant compromise for all..
i suggest they feed the gophers small pieces of animal rights activists..
that sort of venomous poison will kill gophers for miles around.

I think the crazies should chain themcseves to the poor gophers. Protect the innocent gophers with the activists own bodies. Then with a little luck the hunters might just be able to take out a gopher and an activist at the same time, same shot.

"They might just kind of get an impression that Saskatchewan is a redneck province and they don't want to go there,"

Thanks for the post. Sounds like there are many shooters who would go for this, replacing the squeamish eco-tourist types. Is this a bad thing for Saskatchewan? I think not.

I met an interesting rancher in Oklahoma. He had an M60 mounted on his porch railing – and used it on prairie dogs.

"It's a killing derby basically and there's other ways of dealing with wildlife," said Sinikka Crosland,

These peta types always have a pat phrase, this is one of them. However, if she has some suggestions she should come out with them. But I didn't see any in this article.

IMHO, there is nothing more impressive than someone who is good with a varmint gun. Some of these guys (and gals) can hit a very small target at astounding distances, that usually leave those of us who are less adept shaking our heads in disbelief.

P-dog holes are good for prairie soil's deep aeration and water penetration. P-dogs also make excellent training for riflemen. Rodents are God's creatures. Don't make them suffer because of over-population. (+)
