    Common sense, depends how the individual wants too approach it ? ,...you can flood it out , with traps ? or you can take an educated guess, & guess how many traps you want too install, based on your estimate of the amount of moles, present ? Your experienced enough now, it seems, so am sure YOULL be telling me ? lol

    Heard the "course" isnt cheap ? (correct me if im wrong ?) must be comprehensive & something special then, maybe ? lol

    Thanks for the info, right , aye, a got talpex at a real good price from Paul, not too long ago. "more mole an less traps out", aye, makes sense, practised it myself for years now,.....nothing special to achieving it !

    Yet again , just another naive comment from you ? lol Thats right, theres NO NEED for any courses now, its just exploiting, for an easy earner ! & i havent drank for god knows how long. You of all people, should know im just naturally sarcastic & like a moan , at times ! ha ha

    Far as I'm aware, Bob's, out of spare traps , materials, etc , cause he's helped ALOT of people, previous. (Great guy, he is ! )

    'Offering courses'... (surprise , surprise ! ??)
  7. earth-thrower
    Oh, new proprietors , of that site now too, I note ?

    Incidentally, who's this guy, described currently as the "best & greatest" molecatcher, or something on the 'Putange Supplies UK' site ?
  9. earth-thrower
    That's true, right enough, other opportunities do come along , & you can make your own, too, sometimes, I've found.

    & that lot won't be breeding now, that's for sure ! One of the biggest concerns with this game, is keeping it sustainable. Do you get to visit your farms, estates , etc, every year, or if you do too good a job, do you do yourself out of one, the following season, etc ? I find it varies ?

    Vibration or whatever, definitely encourages prey movement. You only have to observe the amount of mole activity , along suitable stretches, of motorway/carriageway, verge, to confirm that.
  12. earth-thrower
    I get you.

    ?, ...& I used to try & find the run between two molehills with a trowel, taking out far too many earth sods, ? trying to achieve it, courtesy of "moles & their control" book , by Guy N Smith ! (way back) a didn't know what a 'probe' was then , unheard of by me

    ROLFE, (previously on here) favoured them, & gave a good tutorial with pictures, etc,..if I remember
  15. earth-thrower
    Sorry, you put "bought" ,..I thought I read "brought" ? (hey, its been a long day,..)
  16. earth-thrower
    Seen a guy on YouTube, recently routinely , trap place, below the molehill. Used to hear alot (starting out, decades ago) NEVER try & set below a molehill,...

    What, you reckon you were the first to introduce the Talpex over here, Phil ? (didn't realise that, either)
  18. earth-thrower
    Why do you only prefer to use only Talpex, in gardens, mate ? ,..just curious ?
  19. earth-thrower
    Is this where I first heard about it then...I can't remember ? ?,...& no wonder , anyone giving out good tips, it gets well copied & repeated !,... ? (it's all good, though,..)
  20. earth-thrower
    Yes mate, am familiar with the speed bump, technique, with the Talpex ?
  21. earth-thrower
    Probably only the one mole , regarding that photo, Phil. So a man of your experience, will only be setting the one trap, for it , then ? ??,..& a wee £50 price tag, for it, added to the bill !! Iol

    Recently had one or two Talpex, fail, (sprung) mole had dug & formed a new tunnel below the trap. Rather than change tack,...I decided to reset in new lower tunnel, again , a miss, mole dug below again. (I would definitely, change tack, by now,...but decided to set the trap again, at the even lower depth tunnel, & bingo ! ,....(2 misses is rare, cause I would normally change things after any first fail) So 3rd attempt , same trap , same hole, captured. I pondered this & realised it coincided with temperature really dipping, through the evening & night,........whether that was t
  23. earth-thrower
    I'm just glad , it's usually only the odd mole , that's awkward, or doesn't get caught, first couple of attempts, if a high percentage of them were commonly difficult to catch in traps (of whatever type), then it's a whole different outlook, & the trapping game, largely loses its appeal,....then they'd be looking to rely on a chemical control method, solely, for dealing with mole damage.

    & forestry companies paying the most per acre, for any ground, up for sale
  25. earth-thrower
    Tell you, increasing trend up here, is to convert farmland over to tree planting, now ?,...not good, (try reverting that back in future ! ) Grants must be good for it, at the moment ? Quite a few are participating in it now
