    & also, it sounds like you've got enough traps to start with, until your satisfied with your capture rate.
  2. earth-thrower
    If your really keen & interested, & stick at it, you SHOULD get more efficient , as time passes. (dont let yourself get too disappointed from empty traps, sprung & unsprung, bunged with with soil, etc where it occurs, try & learn from it)

    "The chap who does the moles round here is in his 86th year" ,..... wouldn't be a bad idea to try & become acquainted with him , you know what i mean ? ?(especially, if your the friendly, sociable type,....im still like that myself , deep down,....ha ha ??)

    As a per mole rate, £10 is good (for farmland),....& those scissor types, if they are the heavier/Eliza Tinsley style ones, well , they may well benefit from the "Walcot Farm" treatment ! lol,.......& "how many traps might i need to catch three moles per day+?" ??,.....it sounds as if youve got more than enough already,......?

    Not too much wrong with the "Duffus flat packs" ability to capture,...
  6. earth-thrower
    Skilled stuff that, mate ?
  7. earth-thrower
    Good result, mate.

    "Just so we're clear they aren't my catches" ??????,...................aye, a don't think any versions ive looked at before, are British made either,...and i remember they ALL had various problems !
  10. earth-thrower
    Oh dear, ?, your terrible here with the duffus type, & i can see now, why you had to switch to another kind of trap ! ?? ,....right , in all seriousness it's not great is it ? ,.......& after inspecting this trap that I've got,..... im not that impressed,.....?
  11. earth-thrower
    No 'drink' talk, either,.......this sample trap came today ! ???
  12. earth-thrower
    I will continue to comment as a see fit ! & what about it ? ,...& im also not bothered whatever you want to say ,.....however , if YOU have got a genuine problem , grievance with me, then you should maybe try & do something about it pal, if you feel it would help resolve it, you know where i am....otherwise 'dry your f***ing eyes' or something
  13. earth-thrower
    I get you mate. ?

    How anyone approaches mole catching IS a personal thing, is it not ? well, it is for me anyway,.....ive been catching many years now, & in all types of situations, & soil types, mainly using just one trap type (at any one time),......(except on that RARE occasion where your usual trap won't suffice, perhaps) & that's been challenge enough for me ! lol & that last bit you put,.....i only said I wasn't interested in them ? ?
  15. earth-thrower
    Correct, & i don't fancy them !,....& its not about their efficiency, humaneness aspect, etc (or lack of ?) for me. (its back to me being a gentleman on here, now,...?)
  16. earth-thrower
    You certainly have a point there?,....but the French can keep them, as far as im concerned ! ?
  17. earth-thrower
    This is an example of an 'ash' made trap.(wood turned) A favourite choice of wood of Bob Merrins, for them. This one uses the wee forked trigger, made of hazel (which is popular for this part,....hand cut by the man himself, this particular one) This is one component i may be able to produce myself, if ever needed in future !........?? Iol
  18. earth-thrower
    Good footage, that. & always nice to see Bob in action too !

    I've come across a few mole men, who include placing the 'bait boxes' for rats. It's no bad thing,......& i know what your saying here, but your doing the right thing, i reckon.
  20. earth-thrower
    Aye, i get you ,.....?
  21. earth-thrower
    Well mate, i get where your coming from,...but i think anybody's far wiser, to branch out from the moles, to include dealing with the other pests, too. ( commercially) It just makes sense.(believe me, i recognise this,.) In my case too, it would have been better. (& for all the obvious advantages of it) i probably had a chance at one time , but through lack of interest, & laziness too, if i'm honest, it's still mainly moles for me. So good on you all, for it, & i reckon it's definitely the right way to go.

    "I'll be in shorts all year round generally,. can't stand trousers for some reason" ?,....blimey, i wasn't far off about conditions 'down south' then ,.....& you would never get away with that up here with the amount of sheep & cow shite around. Iol ,......(never mind the weather !) ,.......would you be much of a non kneeler then, also ?
  23. earth-thrower
    Aye, it's not always easy to 'make ends meet' when you just specialise in moles alone, mainly ?,......(like myself)
  24. earth-thrower
    Truth be known , just my ill thought out dimensions, for the wee spade, hence the result here,...lol & the dibber not quite what i had in mind originally, but the blacksmiths compromise wasnt bad,....lasted a fair bit longer than the wee spud, at least,....
  25. earth-thrower
    ??, your onto something,...
