backfilling

[Quixote 9]

you've not been at it long yourself, have you? When was it you first started? May 2009? Not even a full season under your belt, and here you are telling everyone who easy it is.

 

I certainly haven't been posting about it for much longer than than that, you're quite right

 

Be warned lads and lasses, there's them that talk about it, and there's them that does it.

 

 

Hmmm.............hence my repeated offers to help those with trapping questions via PM, rather than try to show how clever I am by refusing to reveal 'commercially-important' information

My tentative steps towards a new business venture were turned into a reality this morning, when I set my mole traps for the first time 'in anger' so-to-speak...............

 

I'm looking forward to that PM.

I'm looking forward to that PM.

 

Do me a favour mate? Hold yer breath until it gets to ye?

gettin a bit old this noo

 

why is it that only the moley catchers are up there own arse?????

 

dont see any a the rabbit men refusing tae gee a bit of advice

 

because most of the "rabbiting men" as you put it, are doing it for the sport and permission, rather than a way to pay the bills

 

its not a case of being up ones arse, I reckon its ok to give hints here and there, but its no difference than if you asked

 

a butcher, to tell everyone that comes into his shop, how to cut up meat, thus saving them money, who looses out it the long run

or

a mechanic to explain to his customers how to fix cars

or

any skilled person, for that matter, how to do their job

 

where do you stop, this is a big open forum, if new users/mole catchers, simply used a bit of brain, and used the search function on here, theres loads of info at their finger tips, yet the same questions get asked again and again, as if they cant be bothered to try and gain the info themselves, but want it dished out on a plate,

Exactly! No-one can be arsed to look at the thousands of relevant threads throughout the forum and will ask the same shit every day! Just look at "which calibre" threads etc

 

If someone has searched and can't find the answer they are looking for then i'm sure people will help more readily

Can someone please post a pic of a mole. I have a mole job on 2moz and I want to make sure I catch the right quarry. Also which rifle should I use to dispatch them in the trap?

[DIDO.1 22,622]

[salukiwhippet 6]

a mole......

an id recomend a 12 bore, for the dispatch

an you dont ask any more moley questions

 

Now don't be silly, it's got to be the all-conquering .177(!)HMR, kills foxes at 200yards plus, so moles should be doable at what, half a mile......?

Rifle? Shotgun?

 

You mad fools.......

 

Everyone knows that you need a good bull x lurcher for mole dispatch.....

This is a mole . At this time of year there are a lot of young ones in the fields . You do not require any sort of permission from the landowner (who will no doubt treat you to a cheery wave when he sees what you are up to) to simply enter the fields and dispatch them . The traditional method is to bugger them to death so off you go and enjoy yourself tomorrow

i have it on good authority that no dog can take 1 single handed

The Irish Mole Hound -ancestor of the wolf hound but so much more mastiff-like and probably with a touch of bull-blood of course - is probably the only dog that could have done it . Certainly sorted the Irish mole problem ....
