figgy Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Only check the traps when shotgun is to hand. Shoot the little blighter and start on filling in the trenches in your lawn. It's going to start looking like you've grassed some furrows soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 That’s not looking favourable 😢 thinking in this situation I would be looking for the tunnel as near to the bushes as possible He’s going to be lurking in the undergrowth 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
