Default moles hanging on fences... anyone know why???
i've seen this many times before but have never known the reasoning behind it. when moles are caught and killed, the landowner will hang them on thier fences.... but why?? surely it cant be to deter other moles, can it?? or is it a 'trophy' thing? do any of you know the reason... if so it, would answer a mystery that has 'bugged' me for years.
no wonder the mole is an excellent excavator, look at the size of the front 'shovels'!!!
p.s apologies for the grusome nature of these shots.
