[ulverston moocher 60]

Alright boys and girls I could do with some help I have been asked to do some mole trapping by the farmer I have permison off he has gave me his ideas on mole trapping wich were different to the way I was told to do it but after trying both ways I have set 4 traps yesterday and I cant believe it this morning there were two dead moles in my traps the problem is one was cought the farmers way and one the way I was told to set them to be truthfull I think his way is better but I remeber last time I read a mole trapping thread some one said there was a realy good dvd done by one of the regulars on hunting life this was ages ago now and I cant remember who it was with the dvds but I think it could of been woodga could some one point me in the right direction please as I would love to see how a pro does it.

I am not nocking any way mate would just like to do it the right way and the most effective way to do the best job possible I have now bought the dvd I was looking for as I was pointed in the right direction and the two ways I have tried are 1st way the farmers way to go around the edge of the dyke to find what he describes as the main run wich he says the mole uses twice a day roughly 7am and 4pm and all ways returns to rest under a dyke which I have found takes a bit longer but this is the method I have most faith in the 2nd way an old lad that was meant to have done a bit when he was younger said to find the runs in between the mole hills and set the traps in them I set 4 traps yesterday and today I had cought 2 moles one in the dyke and the outher out in among the mole hills wich I think was a pure flook but I just wanted the dvd to show me how its meant to be done because at the moment its just trail and error.
