mole trouble

[pugwash]

But the paint only comes in one colour: leaden grey
What's the muzzle velocity got to be to take a shot in California at a mole in Britain anyway? Aim high:

For long range stuff............Thats where Hazel comes in...................

Hazel looks suspisciously like a Belgian F.N. with a diopter sight

Seriously (for a change) when we had rats in the cellar I used the CO² that was no longer pressurised enough to pump the beer, a fitting with a length of hose into their favourite entry/exit hole and opened the valve. This did two things, scared the poop out of everyone in the area (it was still under quite some pressure) and hopefully, being heavier than air, terminated some rodent souls. After turning on the gas I left the cellar PDQ and didn't go back down for some time as CO² is odourless and colourless, therefore you could asphyxiate yourself before you knew it.
Sadly in farming people have asphyxiated themselves by lying on freshly made silage, this time it's nitrogen, not CO², that's responsible.

Hazel is a bit of a mongrel!! 1964 British L1A1 SLR lower, Brazillian Imbel upper reciever and an Australian barrel!! with lots of US made internal parts, Para type stock made by me. She's called Hazel because of the movie "The Italian job" when Micheal caine gets his bag of burglary tools out and lifts out a bar add says Hazel, my lovely, out you come. Come on, then. There you are. ... Are you alright?................................No I don't know why either.............the kids said it....................

Well that explains the F.N. then, the SLR was a licence-built copy, the Brit version didn't have automatic whereas the Belgian one did. Couldn't have taken too long to empty the magazine though.

[minimans]

This is a mole rat..............................Don't think I want to find one of those in the garden..............................

 

[pugwash]

Kinda cute, don't you just want snuggle and hug it and kiss it goodnight? Like your mother in law? :bleh:

Air Mole (stuff political correctness but moles are black too)

Perfect Solution....... move to New Zealand, we don't have moles, nor snakes (of the animal kind, that is) over here !

the best suggestion I've had so far !!

today
- ran the hose into the highest mole hole I could find, for a few hours

round one - kept me entertained anyway, in spite of not running a train, as I had the grass to cut too

Moles and other under ground rodents very rarely drown in there holes. they build in areas to go to when it rains or floods where the air will get trapped and pressure keeps the water out. your more likely to cause subsidense than drown the bugger...............

you're right - the water made no difference
they're still making hills

Depends on what was for dinner I suppose?..................................................

Farmers ..................I've got piles of those...................I know I'm off................

Nitrogen from the freshly cut grass. I used to help out on a farm in the Peak District, Millers Dale also well known for its railway bridges, and was warned by the farmer. My dad, being a science teacher checked up and it was sad but true.
Thinking about it it's pretty obvious - methane stinks! :bleh: was that you, minimans?

You can't get anywhere in the Peak District without bridges!

 

[pugwash]

Oh yes you can, but you won't seem much sunlight.
Have you walked from Castleton to Litton Mill? It's part of the Limey Way.
In my opinion one of the most beautiful and closely guarded secrets of the Peak, nearly all protected and absolutely all beautiful. No bridges involved.
Trust me Ade, my footsteps are all over the area.
