Like your man Jeff nichols?

ji hear he doesn’t really catch moles anymore as he makes his money through courses these days

take it up with Jeff when the buckys worn off

Yet again , just another naive comment from you ?  lol  Thats right, theres NO NEED for any courses now, its just exploiting, for an easy earner !  & i havent drank for god knows how long. You of all people, should know im just naturally sarcastic & like a moan , at times !    ha ha

Let’s hear it then? How do you achieve that? You walk into a field a mass with moles, where would you start? Give the readers one your free courses as there’s no need for anybody to be paying

Common sense, depends how the individual wants too approach it ? ,...you can flood it out , with traps ? or you can take an educated guess, & guess how many traps you want too install, based on your estimate of the amount of moles, present ?  Your experienced enough now, it seems, so am sure YOULL be telling me ?   lol

Guarantee you this though, I DONT put out 2 traps  (or even 3) for what i think may be just one mole,......(but you cant get it right all the time of course !)

EVERY trap i lay i expect a mole in it.    No unsprung traps, (RARE occurance, but obviously still get the odd miss)

So where in a field would you out your traps tho? Educated guess? On what fresh hill? Runs into field? Where I’m asking you, yous said courses ain’t needed, so let’s hear it 

Well mate, again common sense , your looking over the workings & studying each situation,...you start to get a sense accurate to a fair degree, how many moles, roughly & spread your traps accordingly to what you think is working there

Its not only "fresh hills" that dictate where moles are working/traversing,   ive been at this 30 year , & NEVER had to advertise, i must be doing at least something right   lol

You still ain’t told me where to start tho, must be a starting point maybe you need a course pal

Are you really saying if your at a field & theres more tumps than grass, you dont know where to start putting traps in ?  (your more capable than that !)  mate, ave got to practise putting less rather than more traps out, basically cause im on foot, all the extra time & weight carrying gear, i cant afford

I’m asking you where would I start, you said folk don’t need courses so tell em as tho I’m a newbie like the guy on a course would, how you get me started, just dropping random traps cos that’s all you’ve said so far

So you dont know the "runs" ? or you cant decide where to place traps ?    ( right your winding me up now,...lol)

Just say you don’t know an you just drop traps an hope for best, it’s okay, there’s a few like you

mate, your calibre is never gonna bother me, a was probably mole trapping before you even thought about it, & no matter how much or little mole activity on whatever ground , & soil type, etc   the job gets completed, end of.  Your on the wind up, but your proving nothing, learn from your own mistakes, & youll go far !
