Dad was a gamekeeper in Scottish borders. Trapped all year round, checked all year round. Hedgehogs by accident only, we never EVER took one as vermin. Stoats, weasels, rats, ferrets, mink, all trapped all year.

 

My dear old dad told me he would never like to see a ground with no vermin, no vermin means the land is sick, nothing further down the food chain including game.

 

He reared his own and released his own and still had time (made time) to restrict vermin, but as he said kippering is not even 20% killing, it is conservation in all things.

so from the ads at the bottom of your posts I'm guessing your closely linked to pest control??? if so when you see a client about rats or Roach's in a restaurant you tell them you can do the job but you will be leaving some kicking about as you believe in conservation in all things??????????

 

of have i got this wrong ????????? ;)

are you a keeper or are you at college leaning keepering techniques,

 

no mate not at collage, didnt go to collage to be taught by keepers who either didnt make the grade in the real world or just couldnt hack the work, and took the easy route in becomeing a lecturer.. lol.. and just in case you think im skirting half your question, yes i am , and you ??
