Surprise double in the Putangues

[LuckOrJudgement 437]

Had doubles before but never like this one. Weasel was wearing the trigger round his neck. 

I guess it was going to be a bad day for Moley, putangue or no putangue. Death was going to find him either way.

I had the same this week; mole in one end a a weasel in the other. Last week there was a weasel in a different trap in the same garden. Instant death in the Putange - no messing. Not like the stoat I had in a half-barrel trap. It was caught by the neck and still alive.

I've had voles and mice before. 

Shame about the weasel. Amazing little creatures. Wasn't happy about where it got him, low down on the body. Either going at a hell of a speed or the jaws dragged on something.

unbelievable they use mole tunnels to run underground in the dark. usually see they flying from one piece of cover to another

That's down to the slim profile of the weasel. In half-barrel traps I've had them try to go through to the far trigger and then get stuck setting the trap off and being caught a lot further back than that one. The Putange has closed on its rib cage which is instant death.

I seen a weasel pop up out of a mole hill last week while out walking the dog.
