Black And White Moles

[wabbit slayer 16]

I do a little bit of mole catching, But when I went to check my traps tonight I found that I had trapped a black and white mole.

Is this common?

Piebald mole? That's one for " Rob58 ", mate! It's in a deep freezer, obviously ....?

 

You do " a little bit of mole catching " and have bagged a pied? Christ! Guys who spend their lives catching moles by the thousands don't take coloured ones for granted.

 

Get it mounted, ye lucky sod!

Caught one once, never heard or seen one before or since.

Unfortunately i caught it during summer and was in a trap I temporary lost, so it was in pretty shit condition by the time I found it.

[wabbit slayer 16]

Will try and post a photo if I can get it off my mobile.

Never thorght about freezing it, I just removed it from the trap and got rid of it.

Well you need to be going back and finding it. Sharpish!!

 

I have trapped the odd mole or two but never had a white one.

 

Definitely worth something to a taxidermist. If you do manage to retrieve it and pop it in the freezer. As I was duly informed by folk in the know don't wrap it in newspaper.

 

To add though. Before you get too giddy!!

It won't make you rich!!

i have had a few different coloured ones , im suprise u havnt got one yet moxy, must just be in the wrong area, most of mine have come from certain areas

Oh Poo I just popped it under a bush. I hadn't planned on checking on my traps I had just taken a blast out on my motorbike and decided to take a look to see if I had caught the little sod that kept getting away.

Its been under the bush for 3 or 4 days by now so it will be a right state and thats if its still there.

Get your traps back down in the same area. Others in he past have had a couple from the same patch of ground.

 

Best leave that one festering..... Urgh!!

I have yet to see an all black or an all white mole, or a black and white mole, nor have I ever seen pictures of them. I have caught a few moles that are a sort of blond color, and one that was really bright orange.

 

I have caught all black(melanistic) and all white(albino) pocket gophers, though just a few specimes of each, over 22 years in this business.

I caught a white one this year and had it mounted
