Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Moles - Your weapon of choice?

I've caught over 100 moles with these traps on golf courses, campuses and commercial properties.

Mole trap

I used my 45-70 for several years but now use a 1962 Ruger Carbine 44 magnum I picked up. I find fresh digging and sit in a lawn chair with a cigar and wait. I am always at war with nature around here and try to make sport of it.

[quote=K1500]Poisoned grain doesn't work on moles, it works on gophers. Moles don't eat grain, they eat worms and grubs. Kill them and the moles leave.

X-2

My Dad used to broadcast some kinda stuff that killed the worms and grubs.

I agree, kill the grubs with Scott's Grubex and the moles will leave.

I can't see broadcasting $700 worth of stuff trying to kill grubs.

I understand the premise, no food, no mole, but...

CLB: My wife owned a beauty shop for 25+ years and she had many dozens of people repeatedly come to her and ask for bags of "swept up" human hair!
These folks all opined that human hair was the only thing that would kill the moles in their yards!
And this occurred in the mole capital of the world (Puget Sound country).
Apparently the human hair is placed in the fresh tunnels of the moles and the sharp ends (freshly cut?) hair would enter their soft skins and some how kill them - I don't know but again my wife had many folks who asked for hair for this purpose?
Best of luck to you.

Don't you just love the creative results from talk to text in "smart" phones?[color:#FF0000][/color]

Doesn't have to be a smart phone. My computer does that when I'm typing.

Besides, I was hoping some poets would show up.

The ultimate gopher weapon

That brings back a fond memory of my late father. The only difference was the quary was a gopher that was trap smart, no cigar, and a Remington 4s rolling block 22 long. It took him a few hours, but dad 1 gopher 0.

This is what I use.

It'll actually split a moles skull.

No moles here but we have sod rats,,,

Much appreciate the ideas fellas....

eh, what's your weapon of choice? good looking rig!

We always used powdered sulfer and a torch, block off all but one hole really well and burn some sulfer in the open hole. My FIL uses a old jeep with a flex tube on the exhaust and gives it a bit of choke.

Old Sako in 22-250

Who the hell said anything about $700? A bag of Grubex is usually under $20. But if you'd rather have the moles, knock yourself out.

My boss back on the farm when I was a kid used a tank of anhydrous ammonia and a piece of hose. Care must be use.

What if you have meth making moles?

Sure, if you have a postage stamp sized yard, hence $700.
