    no mate its just the mods have to cover all sections of the site not just one, plus some stuff you dont see. so some of the time they could find themselves out of there depth on certain subjects, so a hand from the regular contributors to the section would be of far greater value than a slagging and no this is not aimed at you just a general observation I can also appreciate, its not always an easy job.....

    Ive had communications with a few mods,up till now on here.............LOL

    Paulus, Please correct me if i am wrong,but are you on the defensive here ? because, im certainly not trying to single anyone out.My comments were meant, generally.

    I wouldnt take for granted, that all moderators on here,are necessarily "competent" for the role,anyway.Also,some people may have too high an opinion of themselves, sometimes.Before anyone tells me,maybe ive been guilty of this myself,occasionally................but i try not to be now. LOL

    I had a ' jack pyke ' game bag Tom.Lasted me three seasons, no problem.Its a vinyl interior,so easy to rinse the mud out ,off the traps.Shop around ,I got it for about £20,well worth the money.It done the job fine. Had a look Tom,think theyre going for around £25. Youve got the " netting " pocket on the front , to store the moles in too. LOL

    You have a point there, Micky.

    What a dirty ,rotten , thing to do.Your instincts are probably right ,about the lamper,as well.Makes your blood boil ! With you putting down about 60 , i take it you used markers.............. if so, i understand. I made a point earlier of saying,i never use markers,cause it gives the game away.

    Well, funny you should say that. I reckon the one that was the wrong way would have squeezed past the trigger somehow, at speed and dislodged the other trigger on its way through. I had this a while ago, I wanted a mole alive for something so when i saw a fresh hill being turned at the side of the road i stopped the car and dropped a 'weak and shit chinese trap that i carry for such occasion' into the run./A quick stamp later and the mole was caught,. but the wrong way around and fully alive......Funny things them moles ain't they! Ive had this a couple of times, le brac. I believe Darcys o

    Please give us poor elderly folk, an honest account of the contents,..if it is educational,.I shall start saving for a copy. Many thanks,.Chalkwarren.. My copy arrived today. I read it while I munched my lunch in a layby. Yes, it is that brief. I think it's clearly aimed at the complete novice, and gives clear and concise instruction in the use of Talpex style traps and the Duffus. Lots of B&W photos, and some bollocks, but then I suppose that's par for the course these days. I'm a sucker for any mole related media, but I'm afraid it's not a book I would recom

    I wouldnt recommend you buy them.Its the procter barrel trap.I bought some to try,and was disappointed.They were not fit for purpose ! thanks mate just the talpex from there them Yes,they supply ' genuine' talpex and trapline.

    Long while ago this one moxy. I get what your saying though...remember my thread on registerd mole catchers.?? Not a single normal reply. It speaks volumes.This is a trapping and pest control section and if im right moles go in traps and pest controllers catch moles with traps. No? Sorry mate,i disagree.There was some that i would regard as, " normal replies."

  13. earth-thrower
    I agree, badgers and foxes will sometimes, carry mole traps off.
  14. earth-thrower
    I have never used markers,i feel it gives the game away, LOL .Although, im not setting the large amounts,that some are.So i work a system similar,to what you were saying.

    I think its peaking where i am,as far as male moles on the move,after females,is concerned.Loads of double catches (mostly males) this week, in particular.Thats the traps ive been able to locate, under the snow mind ! Quite a site, me scraping the snow away furiously, with my mole spade. LOL ( with only a 4 inch wide head on it too ) Anyone want to lend me a snow shovel ! ha-ha.

    Really good.

    What was it again 2 gramme bottles.How many worms could you bait with this, i forget . LOL 100 worms = 2grs of stryc Did you ever have to buy in your worms Matt, i understand there could be a fair cost attached,if you opted for this way. LOL
  19. earth-thrower
    Well this is it,i always believed a correctly set trap,would always provide a swifter death , for old moley......trappings definately more labour intensive,but much more satisfying,than going round with the poison worms.No fun at all, LOL

    The one you can see in the picture was put in this evening, so just hopeing it works out..ive never used them before. Ive got the cheap talpex types all over the place, i never seem to fail with them, its almost 100% catch rate for me using them and i dont find live moles in them so they do the job.. I love the fenn trap aswell..works spot on almost everytime i put one in. Atb Marty If you haven't caught one in the morning consider moving it. The trap doesn't look like it's set tight enough for my liking. Set it in tighter in another good location and it should do the job, Sor

    Do you spread this kind of advice around your own forum,as well John ? I dont have a forum, but if i did, i would spread it with marmite. I thought that was your forum, on 'molecatcher uk' ? or is it no more. ?
  22. earth-thrower
    Just thinking about it,pity i dont use markers,because at least i would have been able to recover ,the ones that are out. LOL

    Interesting, up here it was something like 75p an acre, but the ex-keeper i worked for charged £1.
