In our last home that was me. I had a flashlight duct taped onto a shotgun. Neighbors are too close for a shotgun now. I tried the 22 with shotshells but they are not powerful enough unless it is line of sight(won't work through the moving pile) A 20gau shotgun is the sweet spot but not sure if I want to buy a single purpose gun. Wow-I feel the Bill Murray in me coming out. Some Ag states have bounties on gophers.
