4 traps total, 3 different types........
2 hoops, 1 Spear type, and 1 Scissors type.

I got my Engle 40oz Deer Cup, loaded w/ Ice & Peach Mango Green Tea.
Time to put the smack down on this critter.........

I have visions of "Caddyshack" dancing in my head. I'll be looking for the mushroom cloud.
You need my outlook on lawns!
I hate them. The person that invented the lawn mower should be considered public enemy number one. He invented "keeping up with the Jones'". How much of our life is waisted on cutting grass just so that other people can comment? Ever come home from work upset because your neighbor is mowing and now your house looks the crappiest on the block and you know you have to mow? Blame the lawnmower inventor.
Ever count up how much it costs every summer to mow your grass when the price of gas is 3.00 per gallon? Blame the lawnmower inventor.
Where am I going with this? I hate my lawn! I mow it at warp speed as low as I can to make every effort to speed up it's untimely mid summer death. I love July when you can go three weeks before mowing.
The takeaway? I have zero moles!
Must be something in the air......
Yesterday I witnessed two Portland Crappiedotcom knuckleheads trying to get rid of a red squirrel in a garage using a B.B. gun and a yard rake......

No mole activity to report yet, but I did take a water break, refill my Engel, water 3 trees, and admire my new made toy......

Hey “G”,
It doesn’t look like OE is gonna do a fish report for the home page......do ya think a mole report will suffice?

That’s funny, Do I have to pose for picture with my catch as well?
Sitting in a chair, feet propped up, reading about LeadCore.
Often checking my useless non catching Mole traps so far.
And for your effort I bestow the “Golden Nut” trophyQuote:

No activity to report from the Mole Blind at this time........
Sissy
I just walked out back to the barn when a swarm of venomous mosquitos attacked. I channeled my inner Mr. Myagi and performed the "wax on, wax off" technique followed by my version of a Burmese round house, three ninja chops, and two Japanese words I learned in Okinawa.
I killed several when in the distance I swore I heard one of them playing taps on a micro bugle. Several more attended their funeral. Although they did not get clearance to buzz the tower, several of them took kamikaze dive bomb tacticts to the next level as I fought my way back to the safety of the house.
I forgot what I set out to do but it can wait
Double post.
Hey Jerry,
Is that Corn you planted in my front yard?Attachment 305243
30 Minutes past shooting light.
Day 1 of season is over........
Bummer, I was hoping for a Boone & Crocket Mole.
Will see how the quick morning hunt goes......
Now that's funny.Quote:

Good thing I have a job.
I’m not trapping them fast enough to make money of the hide............

OH, some one was talking about the fastest way to strip a reel? Well, tie one end to your mail box. Let the line lay on the ground. When a car come flying down the road, raise the tip just enough, to catch the bumper, (Make sure the bail is open) and watch it strip. When near the end, snip fast with some scissors. All done, matter of seconds. Then tie the portion on your mail box to the neighbors mail box.... :)
That was my thought anyway...........
Going to try Lake Mi this weekend for some Salmon..............., Bring that little $7.00 Berkeley stick..........We can test it..........
I've actually tied my line to a mailbox and drove the the road on several occasions. Then you simply go back to the mailbox and hand over hand the line into the trash. Prett quick actually. Today, I tie one end to my disc, then drive off with my side by side. 10 or 12 times and I have the line I need stripped off! Not bad to wind up all of them in one bundle.
I contemplated fishing tomorrow. That is until I saw the wind report for both Erie and Huron. Oh well, I'm on vacation starting Wednesday of next week. I'll see how many walleyes I can take out of Houghton lake. Or crappies... I have a few duel purpose baits that actually work great trolling over weeds for both species.
I'll bet they work on hammer handle pike, too.
Anything catches those guys in that lake.
I would have paid to watch that! Or at least brought a cold beverage.Quote:

Well,
I had given up a bit, and tried fishing.
Went 0/2 Last night on Lake Mi, after some Salmon.
I wanted Grilled Salmon today.
So I saw your post and thought I would check.
Of my trap line, 2 traps are popped.
Results shortly

Nothing in trap #1
Attachment 305498
Damn,
Just like Salmon fishing,
0-2 on Moles as well..................
Crafty little buggers.......
Going to have to rethink my strategy.
I have a good friend that thinks just like rich does!!!
he mows the grass so short that he has to put new blades on every year and guess what , he does not have any moles either.
I guess another option would be to just concrete the whole yard and paint it green :)
You should see my mower blades! Not much steel left by years end. I still sharpen em up and run them though. Instead of a 54 inch cut, I'm down to 42!
