Default Moles

From now until freeze-up, I doubt I'll need to buy dog food.[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

Those little buggers can sure make a hay field rough in a hurry.

Not to mention the badgers that come to hunt them. This field looked like a bomb-cratered battle ground just a few years ago.

Not moles (lots of people call them that) they're northern pocket gophers. Be warned about coyotes/foxes stealing traps with pocket gophers inside. I secure mine with an 18" piece of very light decorative chain attached to a 10" ardox spike and even then the odd one gets pulled by a coyote.

I have these buggers wreaking havoc in my yard in the city! I tried gassing them, but it didn’t work. Are these above ground traps and if so where does a guy get them?

I know that the price of fur is damn near at an all time low but I sure hope this mole "talk" is not a sign of the times...
