Do you just sit and watch for them surfacing?
Yep, just like sittin' in a stand.

Every once in a while, I'll see my retired neighbor just standing out in his yard motionless, smoking a cig, pitchfork in hand, staring at the ground. Creeped my girl out a few times when she would see him just standin' and starin'... :chuckle: He's let the air out of a few over the years with that method.

with all the talk about mounts, measurements & methods, im wondering when it will turn to recipies, smoker times & weather its roasts or pepper sticks.
nice one by the way, sounds like it was an awsome hunt :chuckle:
This discussion won't be complete unless someone mentions Rasbo and a real mole skin codpiece. Guess I just did...

Can they bite? Do you just pick them up or what?
They can but they are pretty harmless. Usually dead by the time you handle them :chuckle:

I saw an older gentleman the other day doing something similar, except he had a shotgun. I was parked and looking at a herd of elk in the back of his field. Then I saw him and couldn't figure out what the heck he was doing. At first I thought he was stalking the elk. But he was in the wide open field and he'd stop in a random spot and stare at the ground for a while, and he didn't even appear to be looking at the elk. Finally, as I was watching through the binos, I saw him reach down and pick up a mole trap. Then it dawned on me he was a mole hunter/trapper. :DOH:

:tup: Only seen a few that big, that is a fatty! I don't remember how many my dad's count is at now, probably close to 500 in the last 20 years or so. But, he also uses a less challenging and intense method :chuckle:
500! He could have made a fur coat out of that many. Or two :chuckle: Wonder if PETA wold throw paint on your lady for wearing one of those?

I want to try the propane and oxygen down the tunnel, followed by a little flame. I heard about that and visualized the mole going out of sight over the neighbor's house. I'd probably try it on the neighbors lawn first though.My neighbor did that a few weeks ago. It sounded like a war zone. I wouldn't recommend this if you live in the suburbs or city.

I don't have the patience for the primitive weapons hunting. The 12 gauge 3-1/2" mags. are pretty effective against such dangerous game, just inconvenient having to get the tractor out to fix the yard. :chuckle:
Dangerous game! :chuckle:

That's what i did then when the dirt mound started to rise i pounced with the shovel like i was diggin for a clam the old fashioned way and then when he flopped up on the dirt the flat bladed shovel got a mind of its own and 1 mole became 2 pieces of mole..Kinda cool actually.. Dropped him into the hole for his friends to see what's up if they too choose to hang out. 8) They're destructive as heck
