Wow, you must have a lot of time on your hands, if you sit out there and plink moles. . . In many counties across the nation, if you can define the moles as "destructive to property and dumping your lands value", you can get a permit.
i dont make a habbit of plinking off moles, shooting 'em is just the only way i've gone about taking care of them. traps haven't worked well for me. and about getting a permit, im sure you can. you can get a permit to shoot just about anything thats damaging your lands. it just seems odd to me that you'd need one in the first place. i cant believe moles would have a season or be protected???
Not talking about a season for moles and the like, that would be senseless and irresponsible to any law body to lobby for documentation . I am talking about using more than one method while you are taking care of acreage that would be too tiresome just to shoot them. The permit thing is just needed for the ag dept. of the states to keep track what people claim to be doing, if they are willing to do it. Another form of piling paperwork. Yet, it can be tax deductible if you can prove the moles are destroying a form of income and leveling the land value. If you can do the paperwork that is needed to prove that the underground rodents and mammals are doing damage, that is plenty of firepower and documents that the feeble minded enviro-vegies cannot debate over to be true or not. It just gives the farmer, landowner, rancher, nurseryman, so on enough justification by going through the long following of the legislation, if there is one, to not be hammered by senseless ranting from members of PETA or other extremists, even if it is a mole.
