itchy trigger Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I've had more success with the shotgun than with traps, also its more fun, wait until the 3rd push, depends on your location and neighbours though. photo's back in action, what camera did you get Simon?

How about a moleskin weskit as your next project Simon ? Could go on for months.

GingerCat Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I got 2 new scissor traps from mole Valley. They didn't need any modification and are really rather good for a cheap trap. Quite impressed and got 2 of the moles with them. Same with the half barrell type but might trim the trigger bar a bit. Even without they are hair like on the release. Seems mole traps have moved on a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
