Mole stalking

[Knotwild]

Chemical warfare: Use Oftanol insecticide - no more moles or food for moles. As a side benefit, there won't be any mole crickets either. Plus, you yard will look great.

I’ve never hunted moles, how do you cook them?

I was sitting here wondering what wine went with mole....

Mole burgers!
Got in a $10 bet one year with a buddy over who killed the most, he got 38 and I managed to get 44 . We discussed what to do with them and he suggested grinding them up. Lol

My favorite mole was on Cindy Crawford

I've been using the exhaust pipe/hose attachment for the little bastards at my place. Seems to be working, but it's not much fun. I'd definitely like to see their dead mangled bodies as proof of my success.

We just got a new cat, and he looks like he might develop some skills. I'm gonna see if I can train or entice him to specialize in the moles and voles that we've got an army of.

My buddy uses the exhaust method. He's got an old push mower that smokes like a beetch. Uses a scrap piece of vacuum cleaner hose to plumb the gas into the hole. Runs it for an hour or so and done deal. You are correct, not entertaining. The smoky exhaust is probably not needed as the CO should do the trick. My bud likes to see the smoke coming out every hole.

There is a wine that pairs nicely with the delicate, lean red meat of this elusive species. Might I suggest an early 80's vintage bottle of Ripple?

A non-lethal, no time-consuming method of an old man here consist to drop a piece of carbide in the tunnel and activate it with water…The mole will pack up quickly and never return again…and the neighbours will wonder why their yard is suddenly invaded while yours remain free… Advice : for good neighbouring relationship, never divulgate the method you used !!

you can make dirt stew..2 cups diced mole & 4 cups yard dirt with a pinch of fescue...cook fast over a rosebud

I usually get in front of the direction they're moving and angle about 25 deg right when they nudge up...pow sometimes I miss..why I was thinkin shotgun

The 12 gauge shotgun IS very effective for mole control.

I tried Traps, Bombs . They would shove the old Bombs out of the hole .

This Cat showed up one day . She got room and board in the Barn , had two boys one day .
Had them all fixed ..
End of story ...

The calcium carbide method is common in the NW USA. Or anywhere near a mining district where acetylene carbide lamps and moles were common.
Grab a big blue tin of good ol' Union Carbide lamp fuel and have at it.

To complete the process you fire off the acetylene/air mixture you filled the tunnel complex with.

Bali hai is good too. With a little Peter Dawson back. Ahh the good life.

Can you use the shotgun method of harvesting to provide the dicing and premixing?

May I also suggest Thunderbird and Mogan-David (MadDog) 20-20.
Are these still made?
These were the go-to before payday beverages for submarine sailors.
Probably banned for today's sailors.
