Something Ive Learned This Year

Don't let your catch get too high even if you are hanging them. Cash out on a weekly basis with every job, Carry 3-1 talpex to duffus in your bag on each setting. Agree the area to be trapped and print off the fields using google maps to identify you setting points. Once a trap has triggered and caught, pencil out the cross into a full circle.

over the weeks it creates a great ref point regards hotspots of catching regardless of mole hills, high activity areas just bust the mole hill wide open and wack 2 Talpex in on multi runs where they converge under the hill.

last but not least get yaself a good hori hori blade and crack on with the job folks.

Duffus is a good tool for certain runs but give me the Talpax for ease and speed of setting any day.

There's one member I have to thank on here and he knows who he is. He helped me into an unknown path through pm's and was always there for advice.

Thanks to him I have over 2000 acre and growing to work on now plus the domestic side.

Still chasing my first white one though, may have to bleach a fecker.

Have you got shares in Hori Hori knives, lol

 

I wish i could catch with Talpex, since I cant then its 3-1 for me 3 duffus and just 1 duffus.

Do agree with your point of confirming fields to be done and printed maps.

As Np said too many noughts and crosses, I would keep losing my pencil, for me no more mole hills = happy farmer= payday

Hori hori no good near me. We don't get the luxury of grass on farms just mud

I will stick to my trowel, and spade would be lost without them,as for the talpex, spot on in sand really good, but still love the duffus been a busy year on the moles,

Horses for courses lads, good to see everyone doing well with their favoured methods.
