Moles

We have mole problems. They tear up our yard, and nothing we do will get rid of them.

Today, while moving some straw bales by the house, we discovered a nest of baby moles.

We didn't have the heart to kill them. We put the bale back over the nest.




We've been doing some hiking at a state forest nearby.

  1. OMG I had no idea their feet were so BIG! No wonder they can dig through the entire yard and garden in no time flat. I guess I've seen voles, never moles, and certainly never close up. Good pics!
    My Dad used to relocate such creatures to the forest - because they tore up his foundation as well as everything else in their burrowing frenzies. Just a thought.
    Glad everything is good - gardening should start soon!!

  2. On second thought, are you sure those aren't radiated freaky moles with mega-feet? Just sayin'.
    :o)

  3. I admire your heart, but even this veterinarian would have killed them, dad
