    The redneck neighbor guy is often out front trying to shoot our pet deers. Maybe I can get him to kill some moles.

    Up here, the Wild Life agents shoot pet deer. We aren't allowed to have non-traditional undomesticated wild life on our properties.

    We live 1/4 mile from a game preserve. I still don't understand that meaning. During hunting seasons men and dogs wander around the game preserve killing preserved wild life. Across the dirt road is an 80 acre pine forest. That's what a lot of locals grow here for shipment to China to make toilet paper and other pine additive stuff. Deer hide in there.
    The deer and the other wild critters are not ours and we do have a board "horse type" fence around the front property and a regular wire fence around the rest. I even found some old KEEP OUT signs on our back fence that I put out front. I guess the deer down here can't read!

    Look no moles! I know it's hard to see. But on the pine tree I hung my old Illinois snow shovel. If I ever need it I'm moving to Key West.

    Thanks fannie. That's what we say about your place.
    As for the moles I can't get out to do anything about them right now. Rain, thunder, lightning. Normally we'd be 1000 miles away anyway so I guess nature will take care of it for now.
    I hate mole mounds!:banghead3:
    The good thing is so far we can't see them from the house because there is a small area of woods blocking the moles.
    I'm almost certain they are run away moles from Vancouver.

    no evidence of those moles being shipped to Floridah. The FedDexter guys said they burned the shipping crates :evilsmile:

    Actually, it would appear that the neighbor cat has turned the mole hills into litter boxes and that has caused the moles to move on I suspect. Either that or the cat has used the moles for play toys for a while as no sign of any activity out back for some time now.

    I did pop some travel brochures about Florida in the mole holes though so maybe......................:162:

    When the old neighbors were next door their cats helped take care of the mole situation. I'd watch one mole hole and a cat or two watched another. Funny, I couldn't get close to those cats but we hunted moles together!

    Talked to my son today on the phone and mentioned the moles. I must be slipping up. He said the hills have been there a few weeks. I guess as I'd drive out I was at a different angle and my wife was blocking the yard. I told her she needs to loose some weight.
    I don't remember much after that!:cry:

    Oh man CAT, we'd hate to learn your bruised, beaten and broken hulk was found stuffed in a mole hole. You be nice to that woman, she deserves it.
