Gophers are in abundance, especially out west. Many people shoot them for fun. Can they be harvested for consumption?

You could live off of them if you had to, but you wouldnt enjoy it.
I’m sure there are. Here’s a few recipes for them:
I haven’t tried them so YMMV, but I’d expect them to be pretty similar to rabbits or other small fuzzy animals. Like most of these animals that are around humans, though, you need to be careful. Animals around humans a lot may have ingested things that are not healthy for you. I understand that pigeons can be eaten, for example, but you wouldn’t want to eat city-dwelling ones.
My dog harvests them but will not eat them.They look too vicious to me….
