LuckOrJudgement

I swear by a bit of cherry shag smoke blown down the cold barrel of a vintage .410. Then send in a dachshund.

Well if his missus gets knocked-up after that, she must be shagging the milkman.

Could be a monkey. I opened up one of the turds and found a peanut, a wing-mirror and two wiper-blades.

I'll get me glue-board out and we'll see...

But what breed????

Found in a customers garden - each about 50mm long. Does anyone know what might have dropped 'em?

Trail cams are great. And a lot less controversial than gluing some random struggling little f****r to the spot till it dies of thirst/ stress/ exhaustion.

Buy a trail camera and monitor areas of concern with it. Saves a lot of guess -work.

What are the circumstances?

If you sit down and work out the time and costs associated with trapping a single mole at x location, it becomes quite sobering. I would encourage you to do that, write it all down and then work out the hourly rate for a given tariff of charges to see if you're actually making money. My advice would be to advertise locally and do local (I am emphasising local) work at a fair price, and grow your business by offering a great service close to home. That way you won't be spending hours sat in traffic. If you do need to cover a larger catchment area however, you need to be mercilessly realistic about your charges for outlying clients. Time and fuel need to be well covered or you'll be on less than minimum wage before you know it. That said, if you've got a reliable set of knees, it ain't a bad life

You want to shoulder a gun in the Airgun Centre and all the other customers have to leave or sit on the floor.

That's a lovely gun.

Did you bait it with anything?

New one on me. Good post

I was mooching in the woods yesterday and happened upon this big-foot type thing sunning itself in a glade. I think I startled it because the creature charged at me, growling ferociously. I had no choice but to shoot it through the eyeball whereupon it fell lifeless at my feet. I didn't have a camera on me, and shortly afterwards, a huge eagle decended carried the body away. Anyway, if anyone has lost a big monkey, that's what's happened and I'm sorry.
