I trap gophers as a buisness. NO BAIT necessary. The bait is an OPEN HOLE. The gophers natural instinct to close off the open hole by back filling it. That is what will lure them into the trap. DO NOT COVER the hole. I use Gophinator traps by Trapline. Make sure that you stake them down or you will loose your trap. I place key rings on the traps and place the metal tent style stakes (Home Depot) through the key ring. The last house that I did took me 3 weeks and I traped 63 gophers on two acres.

Your first mistake......never probe or stand on or near a mound you plan to trap !!! This will encourage a gopher to plug the hole before the trap ! Second mistake....never open the tunnel as you did. If you are careful you can open the " main " single entry and only have one hole to deal with...and one trap to set. If you have two hole..abandon it until new digging occurs. Try again later. Ive been trapping gophers for 45 years.....use numerous traps...The Lanesboro GT 100 trap revolutionized my trapping ! If set correctly 99.9 success rate ! Out of the 300 gophers I trapped last year....I missed one. Water from a rain storm flushed the hole full of dirt. Gophers can and will become very trap smart ....almost impossible to get a second chance ! Also trap road ditches and fence lines ...they migrate from heavy grass or brush cover

I like the board deal. No need to fill the hole. They will come out the hole if it is closed off good with the board.

I used to dig out the set hole with my hand as you did, now that I am an old, my hand is much larger so the set hole gets too big The Burrow Buddy Trapping tool makes a nice tight fitting set hole.

I use poison as bait. It's a second line of defense should the rodent bypass the trap.
