mole trapper 1,701 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I could be wrong, but I don't think you'll be exactly inundated with people wanting to help set someone up on their doorstep, well not full timers anyway. 1 Quote Link to post

Mr Wasp 187 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Aye closed shop in most areas, knuckle down and learn by your mistakes is the only way forward I found. Or you could buy a book i suppose? 3 Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Amazes me book shops still operate with the thoughts of some on here. I'd say start reading as much as you can, buy good quality traps and get out and practice. Now some on here may have been born with a natural gift to trapping moles from birth. However the majority of the population was not born with such a natural gift and they need to learn the basics to begin with.so if reading helps them achieve their goal so be it, to me and what I know after 40 year in farming is that the mole catcher is very worried of competition from new comers and likes to over complicate how difficult the trade is. it's actually a piece of cake once you get into the swing of it. good basic knowledge, best quality traps and get out setting them, you'll get their in the end on your own without the snidey remarks from the folk that feel threatened.

Mr Wasp 187 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Its obvious that you have been reading Jeffs book, his attitude has definitely rubbed off on you. Now, stop being so touchy and calm down, it was a joke FFS 2 Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I don't think anyone feels threatened chap, but you have to understand that some of us have been around for a long time and get a bit fed up with folks reading a book and then setting themselves up in competition, and also certain individuals trying to convince the world that there is a shortage of moletrappers and then setting themselves up to train the unwitting just after selling them books, dvds and intructional guides.... It's human nature I suppose. Quote Link to post
Mr Wasp 187 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I don't think anyone feels threatened chap I give him a week before a full blown tantrum, toys thrown out of the pram and post in the general section asking to be deleted. Shall we start a book? Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 It's like everything that requires time on with all it's success and failures along the way, could be any industry or hobby for that matter. You learn to build on the basics and hone your own unique skills to suit your environment. That's fair enough but for folk that don't know a thing regards a certain subject and have no mentor to guide them a book has to be the first port of call. We all started at the very beginning with the first probe and hole dug didn't we. Quote Link to post

It's human nature I suppose. I see the point Matt,must be my upbringing. I was mentored in farming and life to be as helpful and kind to others as possible. You know help where you can and you'll feel better about. perhaps that method no longer works in this cut throat world we now live in. point taken and I'll never mention another book. back to reading for me I think .

Matt 160 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Remember that folks on here have been royally shafted in the past Peter. Keep reading, there's nothing wrong with looking for knowledge wherever you can Quote Link to post
bryn27 89 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dog eat Dog I suppose, not a world I've lived in before but I can see where you full timers are coming from. regards Peter. Quote Link to post
