    Me & my big mouth !,..... ,.....well, i dont choose between, "five different types" of mole trap, for different soil types ?,....i make do, with the 'half-barrels',....unless, on a very rare occasion, i cant get one in !,.....i will use a 'trapline' or two ? (i am certainly not saying, anyones 'method', is wrong ,....its just what suits, the individual ?),.....& i 'probably' wouldnt have set, "five traps", for what i thought, were "one or two", moles ?,....but , thats just me ,......Any pics of you mole traps set?...just curious What , 'half - barrels', set, in the mole runs ?,

    You can catch , with the 'scissor type',...(of course) ?,.... but nowadays, i would say, they are very often NOT, the first choice, of many a mole catcher ?

    If you give alot more detail, about the situation, you describe,...& say what traps, you are using, etc ?,....then im sure some on here , can give you, advice ,....(not me though , no offence !) Also, i only set one trap, for what i think, should (or could ?) be one mole ?,...... its only cause ive been at it, over 20 year now, & should know what im doing, (well, sometimes ! ),....... I am in no way, suggesting, however,.....that this is the BEST way, for anybody else,.........

    Earth-thrower i dont know if its my eyes but in the pic showing the wooden barrel trap (last pic) what is the dohnut shaped object? Is it an improvised mumble pin of some-sort you've used? Aye, its the 'trigger'. Ive heard it referred too, as a, "roundy peg" ? Ahh thats interesting mate,never heard of using a round peg i thought it was just a Y shaped peg you used. Ive been after a homemade barrel trap/ gas pipe type for a while. ive tried to make them but failed.if anyone has any or knows someone who i contact could contact to buy some i'd be very grateful if they could drop me a pm.

    Haha, they all count mate! Im not sure how many traps i have tbh but its a few hundred, and most are out working for me 247. Its more sheer numbers than skill, round here its crawling with moles. Its getting harder, round my way, ,....too find 'large areas', where its 'black', with them, now ,.......(& thats not just cause, of my efforts ! ,...It was only ever certain spots, that were really bad,....i remember),.........(they are still, widespread, enough ?,.....but not many places at all, 'polluted' with them,...if you get my drift ?)
  12. earth-thrower

    Its only , the 'midnight cowboy' , method, folk seem interested in, near me, now ?,...The amount of folk, ive bumped into, who have got , shooting permission,...(& who are looking for it !) Even the 'hunt' are struggling too 'flush' anything much , these days, the times ive seen them ? Even got chatting, to a woman( best described, as a 'wee housewife' lol), walking her dog, when i was moling,....." i shoot the foxes", she says,......(& i know where),...the most unlikely, of folk, at it now ! ,...i thought too myself ?
