    i am not saying don't shoot the b*gger, i am not saying that i agree with shooting it either that is a different discussion what i am saying is don't post a pic of it, its just the ammunition that some people want

    stay downwind its movement and not necessarily sound that puts them off - so drab clothes / camo (thats not to say you go yomping around shouting) use any cover available sit tight if they bolt they will come back out most importantly don't be put off, be patient, keep getting out and you will learn, no ammount of tips / help can compensate for experience

    thats just old fashioned nonsense , the only real problem with new snares is that they are more visible, to any prowler , but once they weather , and set well out they are extremely hard to see. i set out 100 brand new pegged snares . one morning and had rabbits the following morning. woodga set a hundred out not so long ago and took a good few in the evening just before dark , then took a kill in the morning , the overall total between evening and morning was nearly a hundred rabbits , all from new shiny brass snares. cheers snareman

    cheers alimac, just found the thread after a fair bit of searching no need to weather them then

    get yourself down to your nearest gun shop and shoulder a few, its not until you knoe how they feel that you can make a decision you should be able to get a decent gun for the money you are talking

    i have bought a few and wondered if they need weathering at all before use to get rid of any smells etc i was going to hang them up in the shed
  16. meinnotts
    the left one for some reason, no idea why ???
  17. meinnotts
    your right they are not that daft they don't eat it lol i am more nothered about the rain washing it through into the soil and into anything that grows in there that i / the hens eat

    i have a range at the bottom of the garden ste up with a backstop etc, i try and pick up / sweep up most of the pellets i use but a fair few end up knocking around the bottom end of the garden near and in the veg patch this also is an area that my hens free range in when i have finished the veg to scratch it up / fertilise it it occured to me this might be a problem anyone know if lead poisoning of the ground or the hens could occur ????

    just thought smaring is not really a option, we have a cat, my wife would literally kill me if i snared our moggy and i am sure she uses that run, live trap it maybe then i was hoping a quick fix deterant would have done the trick

    house are too close, we have a house that backs onto our garden
  21. meinnotts
    i thought that might be worth a go because there is a gap in the hedge which i am pretty certain is the run never snared a fox i presume they might squeel a bit ?

    i keep 6 hens, touch wood so far i have managed to keep them safe, i live in a small village and know that there are plenty foxes about, 2 nights ago i went down to the chicken run at 10pm ish and there was a pretty musty smell, last night i let the dog out at same time about 10pm ish and she went mental, nose right up scenting all around the garden and along the one hedge line, barking and hackles up............... must be a fox ? anyone know a decent deterrant ? i have air rifles which i wouldn't dream of using and the garden isn't suitable for a shotgun and do not have a FAC
