In my humble opinion having trapped gophers for over 30+years, the Wilco Woody Box Trap is not the so-called "best" trap out there. In fact, it is inferior to the Victor Black Box Trap model #625 (now no longer available). The 625 Victor is by far a better trap for a few good reasons: 1 The trap is made of hardened/heavy duty and durable plastic, not wood! 2. It is constructed so that the farmer can set the sensitivity of the trap, This is very important when trying to trap more difficult gophers. 3. Try leaving a wooden trap outside in the rain for a few years.
