I've never seen an albino mole, and never even seen a picture of an albino mole. If anyone has pictures, please post.

The only unusual mole I have caught was a pink one !, well the rear half was pink because it was bare skin with a few other bald patches,it was actually caught in my own garden in a talpex trap I was trying out and was caught within five minutes of the trap being laid (bloody good traps these I thought) it was obviousley still warm and looked and felt strange.I thought it was probably mange but the skin was soft and smooth as opposed to scabby, any other ideas on what it could have been?

As a possible twist to the mange theory afew months later one of my spaniels that had not been off site for a few months contracted mange, none of my other dogs had or have ever had any cases of mange I wondered if the two cases were related some how.

      Hello to the mole catchers. I only recently discovered these forums & Hunting Life. Lots of interesting stuff posted on here.
      Part of my duties as a maintenance man on a private estate is pest control and that's how I got into mole catching. I'd done plenty of rats, mice, wasps and ants etc before the mole hills started bubbling up, so I found an old Duffus in a drawer and went from there. I started doing private mole jobs last year - all gardens so far - and have started generating a useful 2nd income out of it. Just beer money at the moment but more than enough for a few pints. I like the work and am fascinated by all the different traps and their suitability to different situations. I use a lot of Traplines and I'd be interested to have other opinions on them - the good, the bad and the ugly if you like. Although I carry Duffus and Talpex, I've gotten into the bad habit of defaulting to tlines which has revealed that certain moles won't have anything to do with them - they seem to just chuck 'em out the way. They also often fire without catching. Not on every job, but often enough to remind me that there is always another tool for the job. I really like the Trapline, and I'm working on refining my setting technique constantly. Just wondered what other mole men's experiences with them were. And to say hello.

      Just out of interest......
       
      Which trap do you reach for first? You can explain why if you choose.
       
      For me, it's the Duffus every time, although I can see the attraction of the Talpex type traps.
