The topic on Moleskins brought the idea of discussing the best method of obtaining Moles for moleskin. I have been trapping for moleskin since this spring and still don't have enought for both windows...

My current method is to use a small brass hammer, flashlight, and walkman playing Tool or any DIO tunes. I go out at night and place the walkman (with external Bass Boost Speaker) near a mole trail and CRANK IT UP!

Upon hearing the music the moles normally come to the surface to bang their heads, where I promptly shine the flashlight in there eyes, and give them a good whacking with the brass hammer. Course they normally look like this...

I know there are many sharp guys out there that may be able to help me with some new methods to improve my success and help me protect my expensive window tint...

Thanks!

 

ummmm...this is a joke right LOL J/K best place is http://www.tintprotector.com/ford/index.htm, i think it is the only place to get it

 

Just found out about this place after spending 30 dollars on my kit http://www.empirepao.com/

click moleskin on the left column

No idea what quality it is, but for $5.25 it may be worth a try. maybe some of you more knowledgable ppl could give it a whirl ???

 

Anything to get me out of standing in the front yard, in the dead of night, with a flashlight and hammer...

 

Mole Skin huntin' is very much akin to the ole boy practice of
Nauga huntin'...
Those hydes were really somethin' to be proud of!!

 

Parva, you are somewhat correct but Nauga hunting is much more dangerous. Good thing we have safer methods these days.

For those of you who don't know, Naugas are a fierce beast found in the wild, located through much of the Midwest. As to appearance, they are somewhat of a cross between a pig and a dog, but have a nasty disposition, and can cause serious damage with their teeth and tusks. The only way to effectively hunt them, and I am sure that Parva will agree, is to sit quietly in a tree with a large wooden spear. When the Nauga walk underneath your tree, you leap out and quickly strike!

Due to Global warming, sunspots and a number of dasterdly Politicians, we no longer able to hunt Naugas. Very few are seen these days, and many people may not believe, never having seen one. Seldom you will find a sofa or vehicle seat covered in the prized Naugahyde...

I think you would agree that Nauga hunting is MUCH more dangerous than simply "whacking a Mole"...

 

Well explained Mach!

All the youngins who have never had the opportunity to 'attempt'
Nauga huntin', due to the above mentioned reasons have missed out.

At least they can partake in Mole chases...

 

The next best thing is snipe hunting, follows the same routine. stand in a field with a burlap bag, shine a flashlight into it so the snipe can see their way and have a group of friends circle around and chase the snipe to you.

 

Guys, you don't even want to know what I have to go through to get sheepskin condoms...

 

HAHAHAHA

 

Glacial: Does it involve a Nailgun?

 

Let's just say I don't ever want to see Velcro again.

 

Elk skin works pretty good. hasn't let me down yet.

 

So what about the empire "free" moleskin? Is it good quality and does it stay on? How did you get the elk skin mounted?

 

I too am curious...did the mount include the entire cape and head?

 

Yea, it must be nice to have some soft fur rubbing against the tint!

 

Elk can be very good if you know how to treat it. Its like a fine lady. Show it love it responds well and if you dont you'll sleep on the couch...

Oh yeah, deff. Tint absolutly loves it.
