Default moles

The moles are highly active this part of the year. Have you been successful
in eradicating them and if so what did you use?


never interested in eradicating them (they play a useful
role in the environment), but Ma requires they be kept out
of the yard so when one wanders in i set up a Nash choker
loop trap. usually have it caught within a few days.

this style of trap is not easy to set (you need fairly
strong hands and you gotta be careful not to get your
fingers in the wrong place when handling it), but when
you do capture a mole you know it.

and if you are into skinning/tanning hides the trap
deoesn't usually damage the skin so you can make
something from them... super soft fur/hide.
