No front claws ..? On near side and itson its head ; deformed hence no claws

The mole reversed into the trap ......

Same as socks says, the mole is the opposite way to what you expect it to be.

Aye, not only was it in backward it was also on its side. This is the second I've had this season like this. Well spotted.....

I think that it being on its side as you describe JD might indicate that the mole has squeezed through the side of the trigger like they do with Putanges if you set them prongs facing up. All those moles are trapped on their side indicating that they have turned to best get past the obstruction. Just as they would when negotiating tree roots or stones that obstruct the tunnel.

 

BTW; I had a double last year with both moles facing the same way.

One of those moles has a tattoo saying JD.

Must be a fan.

Reminded me of this one I pulled out a few weeks ago...

A customer of mine had a go with claw traps and caught one of those

I was amazed

Goshawking, that's a once in a lifetime catch...I'm envious!!! :notworthy:

I'm not sure, but I reckon moles go backward as well as forward, and IMO it is going backward how they get caught.

Possibly females going by how women drive

Could it have been in an altercation with another mole at the time and backing away?
