I'm starting to get lots of calls again. Always had stuff to do over the summer with contracts and a couple of calls a week, but now they've gone mad. I'm going to post a few pics of where I trap and what I trap. Happy trapping guys 'n gals.

Real slow on them here. Some warranty work with moles/voles but I'm getting some large animal trapping in. That reminds me I need to set a baby skunk loose.

How do you trap shrews? We have tunnels all throughout our yard but shrews are so small I don't know if a mole trap will work on them

Yep, our Fleet & Farm carries them at the same price. Since they're pretty species specific and we have no moles at all, I just can't

help but wonder what heck they would be used for.

This is a bit of an unusual trap we have here inthe UK. I have a feeling that it catches more gardeners than moles!
Not very well made and not really humane either. And the price is not far off $20, so you woudln't want to lose them!

Done six jobs today. The last one on some

arable farmland. This soft earth can be a real nightmare to trap. However, This is the stuff I learnt on and so i managed to catch a few. One mole sure makes a lot of mess on the arables.

I put an X where i caught the mole. This trap was set at a pinchpoint. The mole aint living in the field, he's living in the solid ground under the fenceline.

This is a set of hills that stretch a looooooong way. Two traps were set here, both on places where the mole will travel frequently. The hills carry on further to ther RHS of the photo, but i din't have space to get it all in...

Your moles snouts are sure odd shaped compared to our Eastern moles nose. Looks like a pug dogs nose.

Kind of like they were crawling real fast on a straight line tunnel and hit into the side of a rock going top mole speed.

I suppose the star nose would look really weird then. I see them in wet areas. Mostly eastern here though.

Had another dozen or so today.had a difficult mole in a gharden , I was having my doubts as it wasn't making 'true' mounds, it was just burrowing. Anyway,a Trapline trap set on a three way junction sorted it out.
