White Mole

[gwalchmai4110 1,757]

hi there

 

I know there is a lot of lads her who do a lot of trapping of moles. I was talking to an old boy the other day and he had a ginger mole in his landrover that he had just retrieved from a trap.

 

so I was just wandering if these were rare findings and if any one here has had any or indeed any white ones?

 

any pics would be great

Isn't a white mole supposed to be a bad omen in the old airy fairy folklore?

Very rare, although there are some who have caught more than one, I have had a gingery coloured one and that`s it.

 

Read somewhere that catching a white mole = death soon after

I used to work with someone who did mole trapping on farms up near Penistone, Sth. York's. He caught quite a few white moles, the sort of colour of an albino ferret. They all came from one small area of the farm. And he's not dead yet

Maybe that's the trick, catch more than one. One for death and any more than one is a long a prosperous life. Now, where did you say the exact location was a gain?

Seems quite a few are caught every year.

Good stuff that hydrogen peroxide! only messing jd.

We don't see many different ones down this way, very coincidentally though I pulled out a silver one this afternoon on a new farm.

My Mrs has a friend who found a dead apricot coloured one on her lawn, but that's it.

Well you've put a lot of work into getting some quality footage JD, it'd be a shame not to make a video out of it now.
