Mark replied to sweetpea lou's discussion Poor mole!!!"Hi,
I am a traditional mole catcher in Surrey. I'm afraid it's not the sort of thing you want to see but many old fashioned mole catchers just hang them up in full view. I personally would only show the paying customer at their…"

You just have to take a chance on the common items and hope they are in the schedule
