Similiar to the Wooden Choker Trap, but the trigger is activated by a pushing motion, as the gophers try to fill the hole in the rear of the trap, instead of a pulling motion, like the baited Wooden Choker Trap.

Find a fresh mound and dig open the tunnel entrance. Place the trap flush to the tunnel opening. Pack loose dirt around the base of the trap. Be sure to leave the light hole open — so the light and air will bring the pocket gopher back to plug the hole. When they push dirt against the triggering mechanism they wil be captured.
