Yea as Joe said Gin Traps. My father and his father used them for rabbits. I found some smaller ones on a farm tip think they were for Rats I used to set them at the bottom of the garden, told that story before on here. The little brass trigger cleans up well as they are brass. I flogged a load to a Antique shop that I found on the same tip cleaned the rust of sprayed them mat black and polished the little brass triggers. Cheers Arry

Max you don't half come across as some numpty. I'm 69 pretty active BUT I have blood pressure and take medication so it's alright for me to die? Oh he underlying problems. It's okay for young people ie students at university to have house party's for all those muppets in York to have a street party, to ignore social distancing.To catch the virus and spread it about with their selfish attitude because they won't die. It's up to me Max to protect myself no responsibility of the young people who don't give a f**k. FFS Cheers Arry

The commercial boys grow Ross Cobb bird after 6 week they weigh 2k but I feel this is not long enough to develop flavour. I had them of a mate who has a small orchard and they scratch around but he brought one around not long ago 10 bloody pound. it's only me and the wife. I cut the the crown out and froze the legs, they were one and a half pounds each. Nice eating but he had kept them longer. He reckons he has had them up to 17lb but said you can get problems when they get that big and can go off their legs. Think the Buff Orpington would be a better bird for taste especially if they were scr

£16 was over 10 years ago Wilf. I know where you are coming from though I won't buy the cheap stuff and have had this conversation with people. After all would you feed your dog on the cheapest crap you can buy or any of your animals. I'll give you an example of what organophosphates can do. My brother in law worked as a dairyman on a farm, a big spray tank was leaking and as he used to be a fibreglass laminator he offered to fibreglass it as the farmer was a friend as well. So he got inside the tank and done the job all was fine. Then after a while all his joints ached and he was bad wi

I worked for a while for Riverford meat boxes. I was out of work for a while and worked as a contractor just packing boxes, soul destroying. Their meat boxes are over priced and I would not buy them, the bacon had an inch of fat on it and they make up some of the bulk with cut up bones called stock bones Lol. Even back then £16 for a Chicken they did look nice mind. It's corporate now not all it's cracked up to be. Buy a lot of my meat from the local butcher or there is a farmer at the market that has a stall, I ask him what is it this week Peter oh Dexter or Rubyred. Organic does taste better

Been waiting for a bit of colder weather I'm f****d if I was going to carry gear around in that heat. Will start this week end in the woods and open ground burrows first then the farms with the cleanest hedges next Lol. But every things come at once Mushrooms and fish and Ferreting. Fish on them big tides and a bit of a blow we had few Bass the other night most small but a couple of keepers each for tea. Mate had a Gurnard off the beach, good in a fish pie with Haddock and Salmond. That looked a cracking day weather wise Kev and nice evening. Cheers Arry

That offends me big time you do not know him. A nicer bloke you will never meet. I never ever said he saw it twice. He gave a good convincing account how he was up a ladder watching a Big Black Cat stalking too rabbits. Thats what offends me how it get twisted he will not carry a phone even after I gave him a JCB brick. Which in all honesty would not give you a photo any way. the guy is straight as a die, through and through country man. Cheers Arry

So I take it your a countryman and if you watch something for twenty minutes you would know what your are looking at having seem just about every animal that lives in the UK? Oh come on. Cheers Arry

I wish mate. This is honest truth I gave this mate a rubber brick phone and he won't use it, it took photos about the size of a postage stamp. No photos, but I will tell you his account is one of the best I have heard. I 100% believe him he never mentioned this account till I asked him. He was working on a bungalow on the side of Dartmoor near a place called Wrangaton not far from Sparkwelll Zoo Dartmoor. He was up a ladder with his mate footing it when he spotted a large big black cat stalking along a hedge infrount of two rabbits. As it got closer to the rabbits one bolted towards him and
