West Senkovec I'm dead. No pun intended..😁

Haha good one
Lmao
West Senkovec Sedation.😜
Anyone else watching even though they have no problem with these in their yard?

RIPPER0NI
yeah. (. __. )
RIPPER0NI me I just love his videos
RIPPER0NI yes,i am
I don't even have a yard.
Bruh the way he plops then next to their holes 😂
Lol does this guy have every single kind of rodent in his backyard
he has a farm
Hanson032 I didn't see a Shrew
No capybaras, either
TestMeatDollSteak sorry, did not see. Imma put another rodent
Hasn't caught a pika yet.
You've done your research, or rather... you've done some diggin'
*ba-dum, tss*
Kenny I see what you "dig" there.
*ba-dum, tss*
GTFO 😂😂😂😂
HEYOOOOOO
I feel like he was purposely touching those corpses more then he needed to lol
Totally! Creepy
the furs are soft tho
Lol
Nathaniel Clark... You made me laugh outloud🤣
@@Jonni1027 Me, too!!]
Thanks for the info! I have to say...I’ve never seen anyone quite so comfortable handling dead rodents.
I hope he washed his hands after handling them.
Theyre not rodents
@@moiseshall9372two out of the three are. Only the mole is not technically a rodent.
so they are same as RAT
And excessive unnecessary touching of said said rodents
You have every damn animal around your house lol
That's was a good idea make trap videos. Educative, interesting and he clean his lawn and get some food in the process, all the wins.
7 years later
Hello guys today I'm gonna be testing some new trap. Because I've been having a big problem with bears in my yard.
The Angry Chameleon I mean hey, it's an opportunity to show off a new type of trap, lol.
To Pimp A Pharcyde ikr
Alright everyone, so lately I've had problems with octopuses in my yard causing a ton of damage, so I'm gonna be testing this new trap I just recieved to see if I can get them.
Mole trap Wednesday?
Antonio Orozco Vole Trap Vednesday...say it like a Russian
Antonio Orozco lol
Hilarious dude
I think Monday is better, do one week a Mouse trap vid and then a Gopher trap vid the other week.
Vole trap Thursday
My cat has been catching voles.
I'd be wearing two layers of surgical gloves to handle those dead animals! Thanks for video.
Taffy Twoshoes omg I was thinking the same thing. I was cringing every time he hold one but I still didn’t stop watching it. Lol
Why
@@bma8013 But he can wash it maybe or will he still get sick
Coronavirus
That,s OK it will serve him right for killing them
Lol I didn't know voles were a thing
should have watched rick and morty...
Sorry my IQ isn't above 200.
Polari Luma perfect reply
Should have read Warrior Cats.
Polari Luma, speaking of IQ voles are much smarter than mice and usually don't fall for the same trap twice.
"Just like this guy *plops dead vermin on mound*" LOL, I laughed so hard. Thanks for the info and help. I have Voles invading!
SAME haha thank you for writing that! >.
Just like this guy. “Places corpse down” 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I love this guy. Very informative without all the typical RUclips fluff. Straight to the point is refreshing.
The cringe I’m feeling seeing him not wearing gloves whilst touching them...
hmm that mole fur is probably VERY soft and nice to touch. but yes have to sanitize and wash hands right then and there
He very rarely wears gloves.
I love your use pf 'whilst'
Gotta get back to your human roots
@@ExcuseMyFr3nch and eat roots?
That was so very helpful. I love how you used the different little creatures to teach. Extremely helpful. I have such a bad problem my yard collapses with every step.
Same!😭
Why am i watching this i don't even have these pests..let alone a yard 😂
10 AM this is quality entertainment
Pretty impressive video sir!.. you are not completely eeked out by touching them, you have all species in your yard to give examples of, which is exactly what I was looking for... ALL examples of. Impressive!
I don't have any of these problems on your channel but I find this interesting for some reason
He's good at what he does. Gets right to it, speaks clearly with good sense, and good sound, lighting - competent in every way. Unlike so many others.
Why do pests have to be so cute?
Bob Woggle so we will not try to kill them lol. They've evolved to harnest our weakness ;)
you even see a Mole's face? Not cute
Bob Woggle how tf do you find a cockroach cute?
Nah man, moles are adorable as long as they ain't them goofy starnose ones.
As for cockroaches, they got them wiggly little bits, it's got its charm.
I hate rats but that furry mole is so cute, I really want to pet one.
Just wanted to say that your video was superb. Well presented, well spoken. Thank you! Loved the props.
I am glad to be able to identify a vole now. I'm in Virginia now, but in central Kentucky (Frankfort) I had a real problem with these rodents. They mainly did their damage during the winter, I could see their lines in the snow, we did not get very deep snows usually. In the spring when the snow melted we could see exactly what you showed, open lines dug all over our yard. When it rained it would funnel through those lines and cause even more erosion damage. We also had problems with moles, they did more damage than the voles, the moles I encountered were much smaller than the one you displayed, but definitely a mole. I will keep an eye out here in Virginia for rodents, moles maybe they won't be a problem here. Who knows what other critters I will find. Thank you for this great content.
Their just trying to live their life’s think about that they have no idea their wreaking your yard think about that
@@jessicaschoonmaker2073 noone goddamn cares. This person needs his garden,not a rodent. He doesnt care about simplistic rodent brain. Killing em aint even doing much,because these bastards reproduce fast
I appreciate your identifying these guys for me.
All last year when I started to notice tunnels I'd thought I had moles. I'm from Montana now I'm in Ohio so the varmints are a little different.
Since I'd thought I had moles I put out a couple poisons. It's not my preferred way of stopping these guys nor did it work.
I'm not sure yet if gofers and moles need different types of poisoning but since I put moles poison out and I had gofers that might explain things.
What has happened is that I've had an invasion! I've got tunnels EVERYWHERE!
So far I don't think I've evicted one gofer. But at least now I know they are gofers and I've found your video site....
Thanks
Thanks for the info. I didn't think it was likely to have a vole problem in the city, but we have holes all along our front deck that look slightly bigger than mouse holes, with no dirt mounds. It sounds like voles could be the problem.
Wow, this guy is REALLY good! I have watched umpteen videos trying to figure out what's going on in our yard, and he is incredibly informative and knowledgeable!
wow, very helpful, today i saw tunnel in lawn, I do not have idea,but right now i figure out when I watched your video, Thank you so much !
Why kill moles? They're really great at getting rid of grubs, cutworms etc.
They destroy the lawn
They make our yard look awful.
I have moles for over 6 years and my yard is beautiful, lush green strong grass.
Obviously you don't have any
People that care so much about their lawn that they'd rather kill off one beneficial pest to let others with none fester deserve to bite a bullet
Thanks shawn. I clearly have moles in my yard. As soon as the ground thaws enough to get traps set I'm gonna start trapping them. Thanks for the very good video. Keep them coming.
Your work is always top notch . The explanations are informative and to the point. Really enjoy your posts. Thanks, I'm going after voles now. Little varmints have ruined my zoysi.
Great video, now I know what's making those holes in my yard. I already am in a fight with the moles, now they have opened up a second front!:) And called for back up:) Thanks again. Peace.
Wear some gloves bruh!! Damn...
He's petting the mole
You know, there is something called soap and water. There's also bleach if you still feel like your hands aren't clean enough.
@@boomchicaboomboom lol, yup. All these "why are you not wearing gloves!" comments are funny. As though there is some mole disease that have ravaged humans. Lots of folks who haven't had dirt under their nails much in life.
Mind ya business he ain’t touching you
Hey Shawn, I moved from SoCal (gophers & moles) to just outside Minneapolis. Our house was built farm land so I had no clue about voles. As I'm pretty tiddy about mowing my lawn, I would bag the grass clippings & take to city compost sight. Well, vole tunnels & nests started appearing all over my backyard. As I got tired of having to drive to the compost sight & I decided start mulching the grass. All of a sudden the vole infestation stopped. No more tunnels or nests. I'm thinking of writing to the U of Minn agriculture dept & see if they have an explanation. Thought you'd like to know.
we have an acre and half and mow regularly and always just leave the clippings on the lawn, there is too much to pick up for us. Voles have infested our yard and are ruining everything.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
Thanks for all the info. I have lots of voles in my garden. They have eaten a row of beans and potatoes. I was astounded when I figured out what they were
Your pets are sooooo sleepy. Well trained nevertheless!
Uh yeah they are sleeping '-'
they are trained actors
@@donnk LOL
nice and interesting
Very useful information, I found a footprint like that on a bucket in my yard but had no idea of what it could be, now i'll look for holes
A lot of you people are making mountains out of mole hills. Shawn Woods don't listen to the haters. Very educational/ informative 👍
Great information! I'm from Chicago so when I moved to Oklahoma, I had no idea what those mounds were. My boxer dug up a Mole and I was freaked out at the stubbiness of their arms and the size of their claws. This video helps a ton. Time to catch some of these pests.
thoses would make perfect knife sheaths
how do you tan the hide with those? Mayonnaise or something else?
I am looking into their kits now, can you use just a small amount at a time?
I was going to say the mole pelt was gorgeous. Almost like velvet. Great shine.
Sound like Ramsay Bolton
saiaddict that’s actually a really good idea
Thank for the info . I was wondering why I had holes in my yard
I know this is an old video, but I wanted to say thank you. My dog discovered an underground tunnel in my backyard (I didn't get out there quick enough to see if there was a mound) and I immediately knew to search your channel. I'll be keeping my eyes open for any more holes/mounds and sticking a trap in the hole I currently have. Whatever I have in my yard, the tunnel it dug is big enough around that my doxie could fit down there
Thanks! I thought we had a cute little mole but he's actually a vole! We let our indoor cat outside and she caught him, rather quickly. They're not pests to us, we share the property, but if anyone has an infestation, and you like cats, there are a ton of kitties you can adopt at your local shelter!
If you don’t have a infestation and you find them cute then why did you let your cat kill it?
@@dortman2445 because why not? Cat will eat him,will you tell your cat to become vegan? 🤣
Cats should stay inside. They are awful for the ecosystem. Invasive species.
@@FishWhiskey No. Also honeybees and stray dogs also count as invasive species, yet none of you do anything about it.
I'm looking forward to your "Mole Catch and Cook" episode ! Lol great video, super informative:-)
Very useful information. Thanks for doing this video.
I am not leaving without thankfulness this video.
Thank you do much my friend again.
I do not know which U.S. state do you live in, but what are the specific species for these three rodents (Scalopus aquaticus? Microtus pennsylvanicus?)? Because at home in France it is not at all the same (the gophers are nonexistent there)
Can you cook them?
Finally, asking the real question
Of course. Most of animals are edible for humans. However there are still ones not edible (poisoinous) e.g. box jelly fish.
gophers are tasty
Use plenty Guacamole.i
John Smith Anything can be cooked ,but how tasty?
Nice explanation; well done thanks for sharing.
Your pets are adorable 🥰
Thanks for the video. Very useful!
The best trap I've found is a MK 1 Cat. Results may vary, but one of my current two has taken out 79 gophers, 29 mice, 8 shrews and 1 mole in the last year. I know he's poaching some of them off of the neighbor's place (no complaints...yet) but I don't think he's in danger of running out any time soon!
What is an MK1 cat
@@darrellroireau4061😂 Do you know those things that meow?
Just the video I needed. I look forward to see videos trapping/killing them.
What if you have shrews though?
Thanks for the detailed info! Very interesting and helpful!
Will all 3 of these animals co habit in 1 location?? A friend's rental property has all 3 of these kinds of formations in the yard. And there back yard is maybe 250 feet by 350 feet....
Shawn, the State of Texas wants your help. The feral hog problem is out of control. Your ability to trap animals is needed now.
You're a little late to the party...
Or the mole the merrier -_-
King Miura Prairie dogs
welll start killing them with rifles duh... it is legal
*bear trap Friday?*
Shawn: *I've been having a lot of bears ny backyard lately*
This is so helpful thank you. Now I have a good idea on what is making all the holes on my property.
Very informative Thank you
I thought what my cat caught outside was a wee bigger than the mice he’s caught in my house. It was a vole 😳 We have an open field in front with those type of holes. Caught him one time meowing at one. Good info! Thanks
Thats a mole hill ?
I thought it was a mountain 😁
Btw I love your videos, I only have problems with house mice but I still love your videos.
Tyler Snyder lol, my maiden name was Mountain and some called me molehill when I was a kid.
Thanks so much for the video!!
Excellent video. Thank you.
I don't know why I read
'Guacamole' in the thumbnail.
Can moles attack root crops like carrots, radishes, potatoes, etc.? Tunneling invaders have wreaked havoc on ours a few times. Mounds made me think they were moles, and the ones I caught looked like moles, but much smaller than yours and with light brown fur similar to your vole.
I know Voles can be root eaters. My Grandma had one that ate the roots strait off a plant but you didn’t know it until you picked up the plant and it’d have no roots!
Zeke770 last year we started building raised box beds to alleviate some of the back strain weeding and such. Nailed flashing on the legs so rodents would have a tough time climbing. So far, so good!! :)
Moles eat bugs and state soil. Voila and gophers are herbivores and eat plant parts.
John Ratko Ours that did that were voles.
John Ratko yes
My dog back when he was young he would walk around hand listen for them under the ground. Once he heard one he would pounce on the spot and dig until he caught them. He was a strange dog...
Owwwww,they are so cute when they're sleeping.
How did you kill them and keep them in such great condition?
Maybe he wanted to show us what they looked like in mint dead condition lol
Probably poisoned them recently. There's no physical damage and still flexible, rigor mortis hasn't set in yet, which is 1-3 hours.
BishtrainerTai16 No, the gopher and Mole were trapped with a gopherhawk. It was in his other video.
Formaldehyde!!
They're not dead, they're playing possum.
Hey Shawn just wanted to let you know your videos are awesome!! I think it’d be cool if you showed trapping for larger animals or do more rat traps.
Thanks a lot my man, I got the theirs one. It runs a tunnel along side my Driveway. Looking forward to your next Vids man. Great infos
I have a mound pushing up along a fence. No dirt on the surface and I seen something small like a mouse run along the fence and disappear at the mound. Do mice build nests under ground?
It's about 2ft in circumference.
I live in Florida we get moles, they're a bit bigger than a mouse
Great Video Shawn. Those Mole Pelts are worth a pretty penny.
Very knowledgeable and informative video thank you
I have a vole problem this is going to be very interesting. Thanks.
moley monday
Question young msn where is your gloves 🤔Omg Rabbies becareful 😂🤣
To catch a mole you have to think like a mole but this dude became one!
Very informative but I was tickled with your method and comfort with them.
Dude! Where some gloves when you touch those varmints.
we have to tag idubbbz lmao
Why am I here I don't have a backyard let alone a house I live in apartment
Very helpful. Thank you.
Holes are voles, mounds are moles.
"these are the moles they're pretty big in my area"
lol your not kidding the moles in my backyard are barely a quarter that size, they fall in my pool and die all the time. Also those vole holes look almost identical to the chipmunk tunnels I have all over my property.
This is good to know as I now realize I have Gophers. I have pest control already working on it as I spent a lot of money in my backyard on rock and concrete and they are damaging the rock area. Unfortunately I am also dealing with roof rats. Thankfully they have not gotten in my house. Of course I do have cats and if they did get in, well, I think y'all know what would happen. But I have had my attic checked and they have not gotten in.
Everyone gangster
Til one of the them start to wake up.
Fly trap friday
Wow so calm and collected. I envy your pets.
Thanks just saw a strange pile of dirt in my yard and was trying to find out what did it and to do to get rid of it/ them that did it
Did he play with the animals after the video
He leaves them out of the owls to eat.
I wonder how often gophers and moles battle underground?
This was a huge help! Thank you!
wow I didnt realize. Thanks for the video it helps to know which is which.
So now that I know what’s in these holes I’m gonna stop putting my hands elbow length down ._.
love your stuff Shawn....dont listen to the haters!
Jeremy what haters?
benjamenYTDead TheGamer You must be new around here
[Scamazon Prime]: I'm very new. I'm also blue! As you can see by my profile picture.
benjamenYTDead TheGamer Shawn gets a lot of hate mail from ppl who'd rather see him lose his farm than control the pests. He has a video about it. The things they say to him are disturbing.
[Scamazon Prime]: Probably nothing I haven't heard before.
Thanks good information. This things have make a mess in my backyard but now I got good with the Traps I got from Amazon store 😂
Which one leaves the protruding tunnels that meander all through the yard?
Vegans think they are animals lovers because they don't eat meat. LOL
That’s vegetarians , vegans don’t eat anything that comes from an animal.
Or maybe they're not hypocrites who are claiming that they're animal lovers, but yet they're buying animal products.
