Gopher Sticks

We know how it sounds, but we are not talking about a stick of gophers. We are referring to a contraption used to catch gophers! The trap worked by hooking a snare around a carved stick that would be connected to a string. Pressure builds in there and lets it trap the gopher as soon as it leaves the hole.
