Like a lottery win, my double in 2014, been on Putange and the odd Talpex since then, so will never be repeated.

Nothing personal,.. (& i know not deliberate) but, youll find generally, most experienced mole men, WOULDNT want to "repeat" a catch like that, in a half barrel, ffs !!!,...& for any newbies, on here ,.....you DO NOT want to catch your moles like this, in any duffus type.

Nice, to get a double,...but still possible, to catch them slightly better, in that trap type.

We dont have moles over here, i know fcuk all about them are they a big problem over your side, do you use the pelts for anything or is trapping them just a pest control thing

Okay then smart arse, why not show or tell them how to prevent it? Cos you’d rather folk thought you were the all seeing mystic  
 

To the guy who posted the double. Take no note of the know all an try bending your triggers forward mate so the mole hits it sooner an gets trapped behind front legs

"all seeing mystic" ??   was sure it was fairly common knowledge now, as far as info about adjusting the duffus type ? (other mole men on here have given great tips, plenty of times ,anyhow ffs !)   Are you not a MOD yet, anyway ? ha ha & you can f****n talk some as well ?  bottom line is ,...im afraid i havent taken to you, matey. (from way back, anyway) lol  so i will TRY not to engage with you,... so the posts & topics, dont deteriorate, into any nonsense.

"try bending your triggers forward mate so the mole hits it sooner an gets trapped behind front legs",...  aye , now we are getting somewhere,...but, you can bend the triggers towards the catching loops, to try and effect that outcome,... just to be clearer ?

Aye mate, can be a  problem for farmers, golf courses, gardens , amenity land, etc,....when numerous,...& they often are. Funny, ive just skinned a load of so called good 'winter clears '( for a change, after doing this 27 year ,now) which is moles in winter pelts, & fur is at its thickest, etc. They are in the freezer, but i aint got a clue yet , how to cure / tan them , or whatever ?  lol

& waistcoats, hats, ladies coats, etc. Earlier molecatchers, could make as much off, good skins, at one time, as getting paid for catching them, ive been told.

Just a couple of tweaks I do to my tunnel traps and it seems to work for me take a sliver of the top of the trigger bend the bottom of trigger outwards and square the bottom of the catch loops  the atb BB
