Unheathly Interest In Mole Trapping.

[Tiercel 6,986]

As above I find myself following the mole threads. I have never trapped a mole in my life, to be honest never wanted to up until a week ago. I always thought that there must be more to it than placing a trap in a run, but that is as far as it got.

 

Now, I see all different traps, not one of which is an ultimate fit for all trap, different types of runs main and feeding.It really has captured my imagination. I really doubt that I will buy some of traps just to try them, but boy I am really enjoying the threads. Please keep them coming, then I can keep dreaming I could do that.

That's very much a matter of opinion

 

The original half barrel trap, as designed and developed by Mr John Newton Duffus was the culmination of mole trap evolution over a century and a half.

 

In my humble opinion, nothing has ever proved it's equal for simplicity and catch ability and I very rarely find a run it won't go in.

 

They say that imitation is the greatest compliment; I only wish those doing the imitation actually understood what they are knocking off.........

 

The only trap that has really revolutionised mole catching since 1922 is the Talpex; which any fool can use with minimal training and is certainly very humane. BUT...... it's still not a patch on the good old Duffus which can double your money at half the cost

Let me tell you TC;

 

I recently filed last year’s accounts and realised I’d earned at least 50% from moles – so, for good or ill, I am a molecatcher.

I’ve spent the last three weeks doing nothing but moles, and I’ve spent a fair amount of that time in the gardens of million £ plus houses; usually while the owners are at work. So, while there in London working their bollocks off I’m wandering around the plush gardens they’re paying for, in the spring sunshine, occasionally catching the odd mole.

 

You find it hard to name a better job than that

Horses for courses Matt.

I wholeheartedly agree you with you about the original duffus trap, as you know. Having read conversations recently "elswhere" i kind of get the feeling a lot of molers have never come into contact with a quality trap, i mean a bonifide machine.

 

Anyway, as a moler with a taplex fetish, if your situation allows it, they are a superb thing and my type of trapping suits them fine, i would argue better than a duffus.

Let it capture your imagination when it's driving sideways with cold rain day. Day after day.

Thick clarty mud sticking everything up and numb fingers.

 

and your only a couple of acres in.

 

It doesn't matter what trap your putting in. There's no romance.

 

There are good days though

I've taken your advice mate ordered 10 Genuine Talpex last night and had the text confirmation that they will be with me on Monday.....

 

That'll learn those little barstewards that think they can soil my precious Duffus traps blocking them up
