    small bit of free advice, filling in your profile with as much info as possible, and making a first introduction post about yourself, age/location/pictures etc, may see you getting better replies

    it must be because you asked for it to be used via a club, as I was given sec 1 last year, my reason, pest control of squirrel dreys, got it no hassle

    The answer is in the link spence put up above - i.e the general licence. If you can prove it's for crop protection or to prevent disease, to protect or preserve flora and fauna, or for health and safety, AND you ensure the pellet doesn't leave your boundary, (by using suitable backstops), AND you have permission to shoot there, then yes. sorry, it's still not legal, you also have to PROVE first that all other means to stop them have been done first, ie pigeon spikes/netting/anti perch glue etc, once all that is in place, and ferals are still coming in, in large numbers for roosting, the

    funnily enough I've just got back into detecting, after a 20yr break, I thought I saw the rakeaboot name on another detecting site, (I'm dexters shed) my first ever find 20yr ago was this, and it's what made me hold onto the detector, although I've got back into it, I too want the garret ap pro international

    I love vitara's, never had a diff go on me, drive through anything, have seen defenders stuck where mine drives through, I wasted money sticking all terrains on iit for 6 months, before changing to mud terrains and leave on all the time, a little more noisey on tarmac, but great when you hit the brown stuff

    just as an update, I got in touch with a patent attorney, seems that if your copying for own use only, and not for re selling, then no laws are being broken, so all good on that

    having been following the flow team from the start of the campaign at start of the year, I order 7 flow frames, I was then given a further 3 flow frames free of charge for helping out as a moderator on their forum, nothing to do but wait till next season now, have 4 hives in the garden and another 8 in my woodland, I doubt I would put these on all my hives, but it looked a fun item to try

    just stick a tube in it, it's what I do on lawn tractors

    depends what your drinking

    good idea, just mailed them

    ok, my mistake, he said I was infringing the patent, his bottom killing chamber is self sealing, so when removing a container full of half dead wasps, your not going to get stung, mine is a used 500ml pepsi bottle with no such sealer is that different enough, or is it that no one else in the world can use a second killing chamber?

    ok, so reading the plans, he quotes that using 3 flutes does not make the trap effective, so they use 4, so if I carry on using 3 (used 4 in the picture) would that class as different enough ? can't figure out how the make the bottom different

    he does have copyright on it, I checked EP1399017 B1

    ok, so I keep a few bee hives and am a pest controller, and every year we get wasps, now a lot of beekeepers rush out and buy shop sold wasp traps, me, I prefer to make them out of the old pop bottles, and this year had good success with them, both on wasps and hornets, which I get quite a few off in my woodland, so I got my thinking head on, looked at lots of trap designs and came up with this, it's made from one large,one small pepsi bottle, four silicone sealant nozzles, a bit of waste pipe and glue, as normal I posted a "how too" video on youtube, as a similar design shop bought trap w

    well, your pm made me look back in here, aint been on in a fair while, bought myself a woodland so that tends to get all my attention, along with all the bees I keep, glad your on the mend

    test out stretches of it yourself, water needs to warm up a bit more first as they will still be hibernating, get a piece of string, tie bacon to it and do some test drops in different locations, remember though, doing it with string constitutes fishing, so don't make yourself too obvious it case some anal official is watching,

    seriously your first three posts here and all you do is want some permission, and expect it handed to you on a plate, never mind an introduction to the forum members, or posting a few topics first, Im sure you'll get loads of offers......just don't hold your breath

    if that property was woodland, then you can shoot ANY deer at ANY time (no closed season) with a 12 gauge, as long as it's for protection of saplings

    so offer some ratting out, either with dogs or rifle, in return for a day on the pigeons, it's how it normally works

    makes sense to try the cheapest thing first

    a bit of copper tube coming from the exhaust, then car radiator hose, most exhaust boxes can be taken apart, so drill suitable size hole then fit in a 22mm tank connector, your copper tube then fits into that, then push on the hose, sorted

    thankfully I have three 10 shot mags and one 5 shot, plus carry one box of 50 in car, just in case a bumper lot of rabbits turn up

    now, I'm not suggesting you turn to a life of crime, but my missus does leather repair to motorcycle clothing, if she gets something in that needs a small repair and its a non popular colour that she don't keep in stock, rather than buying a whole hide, we take a trip to land of leather or similar, walk around looking at settee's, they have swatches I think they are called laying everywhere, different colours of leather, funny but a few find there way into our pockets, big enough to make a knife sheath from too
