      Its forecast for Monday here in Manitoba but we will see. Spent the day leveling mole hills in a hay field. Sand spreads easy when its that dry I sure don't like how my fury friends can wreak a hay field not to mention what that does to the discbine every year.

        I used to get bent out of shape as a kid when Dad would spend time trapping moles when he should have been seeding. Now I trap them. Went this am with my 9yr old boy, got 9 out of 13 traps. Makes a huge difference. I have a semi retired neighbour that got over 700 miles on one quarter last year.

          Are they moles or pocket gophers? We were out finding the tunnels tonight and bating them. Last year we kept at it and pretty well had them cleaned up but this year a few moved in.

            Moles can make a sandy area in a hay field hardly worth cutting here.
            Fortunately we don't seem to have pocket gophers here.
            I assume in Regina clay you have gophers?

              After googling the difference looks like I'm talking pocket gophers, everybody calls them moles here but guess that is incorrect.

                More I think about it what we call Gophers are actually Richardson ground squirrels so maybe we just aren't that good with English here in AB.

                  We don't have a gopher problem but trapping moles can also turn you into a Bill Murray ( Caddyshack ) type of guy. A couple of years ago I was setting traps and talking to myself when I looked up and saw three fox pups watching me on a sandbank. Three days later they figured out that there was tasty treats in those boxes in the morning and started taking my traps. I moved to a different spot.

                        GDR has confused two us, as I was just going to ask the same question.
