Macabee Gopher Trap

we still have more gophers, first or second day the trap was out caught a gopher...\ni would say that it works.\n\nsame kind that dad used when we lived on the other side of the state... work just as good as they did then.

I have trapped countless gophers with the macabee traps (old and new designs) and have had very good success on small to medium sized pocket gophers. This trap is one of the fastest to set, is light, and works on new gophers as well as the old smart ones as well.\r\n\r\nI do have two complaints about this trap. First, the jaw closing mechanism doesn't always close tight one some of the older traps or it grabs part of the belly of the gophers on occation rather than the chest. I have lost some gophers to these traps. The second complaint I have is that the jaws do not allow for grabbing large gophers. These traps have worked well in south central Oregon (Lake Country) but in northwest Oregon (Yamhill county) I have had very little success because the gophers are very large.\r\n\r\nOther than those two complaints I would highly recommend this trap for small to medium sized gophers.
