Richardson’s ground squirrels (aka gophers) are found in native shortgrass prairie and overgrazed pastures all over the southern half of Alberta. Gopher hunting is a fun and affordable way to hone your shooting skills, as well as introduce newcomers to hunting. And landowners love it when you help control gopher populations. The Alberta Discover Guide is a good resource for finding hunting spots.
