Keith's Pro Tip "Before beginning your pocket gopher hunt, remember to first identify whether freshly dug mounds are pocket gopher mounds. Gopher mounds look different from mole mounds. Gopher mounds are semi-circle or crescent-shaped and can be found open in the daytime. Mole mounds look like a perfect round circle of dirt."
