I tried that once. Shoved the hose in as far as possible (6-8 feet) and let
it run. Our soil is sand and all the water did was soak in, burrow never

I'm giving up on the water flooding gopher solution method!

I don't know if it worked yet, but, after 10,000 gallons was poured
into two gopher holes, I noticed *all* the concrete cracks weeping.

For example, here's a shot of the steps below the gopher hole:

And, here's a shot of the retaining wall at the bottom of the steps:

Seems to me the water might be damaging things, so, if it didn't
already work on getting rid of my first couple of gophers, I'm
giving up on it and moving on to something else!

Very logical and very smart. That would cost a lot to fix or replace.
