Mole season in Indiana

[Skeets]

Today is the opener! I'm in the field right now,but more to follow to night!

What's the limit? Are there minimum caliber restrictions ?

Openening a bust

Indiana's mole season is under way.Too many problems opening day,but a total different approach today (4-19).The only laws/ rules are to use common sense and be alert.It's refreshing to hunt without rules,regulations,and license fees.Also any type hand or long gun is legal.plus all Calibers,gauges, ammunition is legal(remember no rules).There are no bag limits.A mole is born to destroy your yard!! Start mole hunting today.

Moles really tear up yards there. I have family in Fayette County. You hardly ever see the moles. Just the tunnels in the yard. Dad used bait, traps, nothing seemed to work. Dogs did better than we did.

can you use depth charges? I hated the moles that would dig up our yard when I was a kid. I probably twisted my ankle once a month when I'd step into one of those soft spots.
Got get em all!

Run a hose from the tail pipe of your truck down one of their tunnels and gas them out. The ones that die underground make good fertilizer...

Why yes,under the"no rules" clause,depth charges are not only legal but ENCOURAGED!The "gassing"would be very effective during the night on sleeping moles.

Dig them up with a backhoe. Screen the dirt and shoot them on the screen with a 10ga shot gun...

Great methods guys,keep 'em coming!Rain moving out 4-20,yard mowed close and rolled,feel body count rising.Heck,may set up my Double Bull ground blind! Take care and be safe.

A friend of a friend tried pouring fuel down one of the interconnecting mole holes.
When he lit it, geysers of flame came out of dozens of other holes.
It looked like a minature version of the planet Venus.
The place reportedly smelled like a fast food hamburger joint.

This may seem a little insensitive but it has a proven track record.
Zyklon B was the trade name of a cyanide -based pesticide invented in Germany in the early 1920s.
They die underground where they lived.

Why is this not a 'mole defence' thread? Much eating on a mole? snicker.
Cyanide-based pesticides are very likely illegal.

I'm sure there are pest control forums out there, if anyone wants to pursue this sort of thing, but this has gone way off-topic for TFL.
