My GSP used to kill them all the time when we lived in Louisiana. He would bring them up and leave them on the door step. Ugly little bastards.

Moles are believed to be what first bit the Chinese swimmer in World War Z.

My dog Maggie hunted a mole all winter that had been tearing up my yard. She finally caught the little bastard sometime in March, and spent the next week sitting near where she found it staring off into space, like "now what am I going to do with my time?"

Add chipmunks to that list too. My cat caught one when I was a kid and I tried to save it. Fucker latched onto my finger and wouldn't let go. Needless to say, the ungrateful bitch got smashed up against a rock and then given back to my cat who then devoured it.

I haven't gotten to run my beagles in a long time so the only sport they get is what's in the yard. Luckily there is quite a bit in the yard. They get the occasional possum, rats, snakes, beetles . . . .
They also get to dig holes. In fact I encourage it, as long as it's not to dig out. High energy hunting dogs need an outlet and a way to express their instincts. Of all my beagles/hounds, Lucy has been the most tenacious. She bounced off the walls the first year or so of her life, especially if she wasn't able to go to the hunt club to trail. She would literally trail until she dropped. I sure do miss listening to them trail and watching them on my garmin astro gps. Pic after a hard day of trailing.  Oh well. She is older and calmer now and spends her energy guarding the perimeter of the yard against all intruders. There is a mindset among many hunters that if you give your dog attention and take care of it, they won't hunt. But nothing could be further from the truth. I let mine sleep in the camper with us and ride inside the truck, if a deer was lost it was my precious little baby that found it! The other dogs didn't seem to know what was expected. Lucy has found deer in places that people swore the deer did not go. Instead of interfering with her instincts, and turn her around, I would just let her do her thing. She found them. Every. Time. |

Rodent bites fucking hurt. While African soft-furred rats are nasty - the bastards will jump across the tub to take a piece out of you - a bite from an adult rabbit can seriously fuck up your day.

We had one pop up in our chicken run when my daughter was out there. Once it made it top side, the chickens started going after it and pecked the shit out of it. My daughter felt sorry for it and picked it up, the first thing it did was bite her. she dropped it and it took off.
I made her look around our yard, which looked like a fucking war zone, and told her "the next time you see something like that, remember how shitty our yard looks and how much harder it is for me to mow, and then stomp the fuck out of that little bastard".

I've caught a few moles barehanded before. Never had one try to bite, but they would all try to dig out of my grip with their surprisingly strong arms and long claws.
Voles are a different story. I had one corned in the yard before and it turned around and did a "Come at me bro!" I poked towards it with a flip-flop and it jumped up off the ground and latched on to it. |

While rabbits aren't rodents, technically, I agree about their bite. We had a pet. Had a baby gate up. Made out of HEAVY nylon webbing. Rabbit snipped through that plastic like it wasn't there. I knew right there I never wanted to get bit by Bugs. |

I'm surprised that you aren't missing a chunk of meat! We have a lot of moles around here and once when I saw the dog dig up a live one I threw it in a 5 gallon bucket. I stuck a 1/4" steel rod in there to see what the mole would do and it viciously attacked it. Tiny little razor sharp teeth doing everything they could do to rip that steel apart.

Yes they do.
I thought I was the only person on earth who had encountered this problem. 
I rescued one from my two retardogs and let it go, even after it bit the shit out of my finger. He was too cute.
...and way off in a field in my hunting camp, not particularly bothering anything. That was a couple of years ago and I'm not frothing at the mouth yet so you oughta be fine, OP.

I use to have both a mole problem, and a Norwegian Elkhound. One day I noticed a very fresh mole mound under a tree, so I dragged the Elkhound (Tina) to the mound scratched a bit of dirt off the top and stuck her nose into it. She backed away and ran to about 10 feet away, so I brought her back, and repeated my "clue". The dog and I did this once more and while I looked at her thinking "dumb dog", she scratched at the ground a couple of times stuck her nose in the dirt and flipped out a freshly killed mole....stupid human, Tina knew where it was the whole time.
