This message is from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks to each of you that took the time to respond to my question on how to keep my moles from spreading into my pasture.
I love the idea of getting more Fjords to pound the ground so that the little varmints are warned out of the area but think that the trapping method recommended by the been there done that folks is going to prove to be less time consuming and some what less expensive. We do have a Barn owl that spends some time in our arena at night but have never seen any sign that it eats moles and we do sometimes look through it's pellets to see what it has been eating. Our seven barn cats do not eat the moles and to the best of our knowledge have only caught one. The dog a Berner has only one live catch to his credit a baby rabbit he got from a nest. I'm sure if the coyotes do dig up vermin in the back fore acres across the creek but it is hard to tell from their dropping what small furry things they have been eating, although I can tell when the neighbor is missing another duck or chicken. I think we have a fox or two in the area as we sometimes see their tracks but have never seen the animal. Poisons are not a good option because of the critters notes above all of which are good hard working souls that we can share our place with, So I'm off to the feed store to look for a trap. Thanks again to all that were kind enough to share their knowledge with us. Barb Middleage Spread, Eagle Creek OR.
