Chalkwarren yours aren't a patch on whins...now his are the holy grails of the lurcherworld... I'm actually thinking about paying him to let me watch them..... Hes very MODEST mind about their ability... plenty phessies, veni,rabi's etc,etc to go at ...could be fun

I'm talking about CONTROLLING something whin, I've been out with lurchers thousands of times, and anyone with common sense knows they are excellent fun, the best...I'd rather work them than anything.... BUT they are no way in the same league of controlling rabbits as snares...if you think otherwise your a complete clown... that is a fact...Anyway I'll tell you what I'll put you up, come down and you can pick some fields, we'll check them overnight see what the population is like... you go at them with dogs and I'll go at them with snares and lets see whats the best method...Some of the thick h

I agree chalky, I have got the fever... Thing is I've tried most commonly used ways of control, I love running the dogs, but anyone who says they are an effective form of control compared to other available methods are deluded... As a kid I knicked my brothers mig welding wire to try and snare them round an old quarry near us, with little success and along with my sas guide I was away in the fields...with bot all to show for it.... A relative used to mention when I was a kid about a man that snared everything from rats,rabbits,foxes, and anything else on a local estate...that man being pe

Dogs are fun, its very easy to make an area lamp shy using them.... Same as over using a gun, although a gun is much much more effective.. Snares, well they work day,night all year round...it also depends who setting them....

Disagree, I've been on many places were as soon as the rabbits see that beam their gone.... Rifles are good UNTIL they become wise....

Hello lewis post the questions or add them as an attachment and I'd be happy to answer them. -
I'll tell you how, they are complete novices with no experience of other methods if thats all they have up their sleeves... Lets face it, snares are one of the most effective means of control when used by someone who can actually use them...Many can snare, but theres people who have it down to a fine art with a lifetimes experience behind them, a few members on here to name a few ... Cage traps are expensive, cumbersome, totally awkward to transport in numbers AND no were near as efficent or effective as snares, personally I think there the BIG CHEESE of rabbit control... but if they work for

If there that good revise the full conibear range...I can't see the point in pissing about changing it unless you like reinventing the wheel.........

Nice one colin, we had a lot of digs on sunday too, blasted things

Whatever suits 120-2 , not needed in my opinion, the design is ideal as it is, 1000's upon 1000's of mink have been taken as they are, why not set the trigger dog harder ? It would be good to hear others opinions...
-
The BMI dinnerbell style trigger is probably the best you can get and will catch everything in this country from rat rabbit to mink, its easy to adjust accordingly... I know it sounds negative but I honestly cannot see the need for a plate on a bodygrip... 120-2 whats the benefits you mention over the standard trigger ?
-
Mr T, pegs better on them runs....hoops better in the longer grass...
-
I can't see the benefit over the normal trigger TW?

Excellent shots very atmospheric...

Howling gale don't help, when they blow 100yds off target... ... We use better carts now, that burn brighter and travel further... No excuse for being a crap shot though
