Didnt go to check yesterday as weather was bad but went today and had another 2 moles, im well pleased and so is owner, so do yous think there will be more as its not a massive area, took all the traps out and flattened all the hills so should find out soon enough anyway if any pop back up, cheers

Did you get moles in same runs mate well done

[big napper 3,614]

Cheers Don, (i am buzzing)

yes mate i probably should have left some, il be back over the weekend tho and il set some more,

Dont think theyr proper duffus but theyr called duffus half barrel, they look and feel good tho, i tried a few and seemed spot on.

Brilliant mate .
Something very primeval about checking traps .I miss it if I’m honest but too much going on at the moment .Maybe when I’m fully retired I’ll have another go .Used to race from tunnel trap to trap when I was keepering and mink trapping well that’s another level .Well done on your catches Bigmac ,you’ve an eye it seems .

Used to annoy me the number of so-called countrymen I’ve met with no eye for nature ,runs and holes ,nests and bird life .One trick ponies .

Mate of mine who’s a pro mole catcher is on 567 this year mostly from golf courses .He wishes he’d frozen the lot for a pic .

Never been my thing moles but show me a fenn and I’m on it .

Nice one mate, cheers for that, i brought them home and put in outside freezer, was for ferrets but been told not to feed them to ferrets so im freezing what i get to see how many i catch by this time next year

[big napper 3,614]

It is great pal, i actually cant wait to go out again, if i didnt have to work i think id do it every day, looking farward to this lockdown shit to be over so i can start dropping off some cards iv just had done and hopefully get a good few mole jobs round here, i know nobody does moles in this area and iv already got loads of shooting and ferreting perms here, so fingers crossed.

I love mole trappping - still get a buzz out of turning up to a new job and sussing it out.

Most of my work is gardens and I always have a walk round before I even touch a trap. Having a good recce is time well spent in my opinion.

My ferrets wouldn't touch them. 

Well done on a good start, it's addictive once you start.

[big napper 3,614]

It is pal, off again tomorrow to set some

[big napper 3,614]
