Gopher Stick
I know what you’re thinking. In other words, it wasn’t a gopher stick. It’d be a lot of fun. Instead, a gopher trap consisting of a stick and other implements was used. A snare was looped around a sturdy carved stick to create this elaborate trap. A powerful string would be attached to this stick.
When the gopher emerged from its burrow, the contraption’s built-in pressure allowed it to ensnare it. A 1,800-year-old gopher trap discovered by scientists was discovered. It’s hard to believe that people 1,800 years ago were able to come up with such an ingenious trap. I suppose we humans have a good deal of intelligence.
