    Cor ,someone as tight as me! Don't know if you can enlarge this picture up a bit to see the little "hooks" holding the trap in place but it might help you. The trap in the side- on veiw wasnt set in the open field I hasten to add.

    We're famous for adders round here .Years ago our local woodland was in the Guiness book of Records for the biggest.Try finding one when you want to though! Couple of years ago I almost stepped on a black adder curled up on a footpath.Watched it for quite a while .No camera of course. Something that struck me was the fact that though it's background colour was a velvety,almost mole-like , matt-black, the classic zig-zag "dried bracken" pattern was visible in an even darker black.

    Good man That cart will do the job to 40 yards, closer is always better but that's your range (waits patiently to be disagreed with... ) BB's ,"Fox drops" we used to call em.Handed a few out at the begining of every rabbit /fox drive day so we knew everyone had the right ammo . JG is spot on with the range .Yes, BB's will carry energy a lot further but the pattern is'nt dense enough at longer ranges . Your fives would 've been capable of a clean kill at sub20 yard range but I doubt the fox could be guaranteed to obligingly stand stock-still and either stare at you or offer you a p

    Well done ,mystery solved .I woke -up the other day ,fell over the dogs ,tried to clean me teeth and missed.Some bast*rd had pinched me head in the night.I had somehow envisaged that it had been stolen to order for a millionaire art collector .Bit of a blow to the ego to see it dumpen in the woods.You did'nt pee on it did you?

    The bigger one goes fishing with her dad and I suspect the smaller one will be into everything before long.My daughter managed to convert her hubby to air-rifle shooting and ferrets.It's gone from "what ya want one of those smelly things for?" .when she took one of my kits from last year as a pet.To ".We need a jill and has your Dad got any spare nets ". Oh yes I've made many, many mistakes in my life but at least I brought my daughter up right!

    For me technology is taking a lot of the fun and fieldcraft out of hunting nowadays.The organic skills are being overshadowed by reliance on commercial gadgetry. Some people feel under_equipped if they hav'nt the newest ferret locater,latest radio controlled bait -boat ,best night vision optics etc etc. To each his own . Think what I'm getting round to saying is that for me a Mk3 even when it is working properly tends to overshadow the simple pastime of catching rabbits with ferret net and dog.Too many switches ,light displays and 1950's Sci-fi noises . A Mk 1 is a basic piece of back-u

    I believe the way things are worded it is OK to shoot within 50feet of the centre of the highway (which includes footpaths) provided no one using the Highway is endangered or has their progress interupted. Other words if you are sensible and are aware of road users and you and your projectile stay on land you have permission to be on you can stand right up to the edge of the public road .You can also shoot from a footpath that crosses "your" land if no one is near enough to be put at risk or due to any reason(including I'd imagine fear ) caused to wait while you take your shot.

    Seems like straight, guy who unfortunatly stands by his convictions to an unacceptable degree. You did well t o report him and follow it up . . The positive purpose of Law is to protect everyone going about their reasonable everyday business and prevent unacceptable extreme behaviour.The police might not always take trap interference too seriously but if you keep making reports it makes their unsolved crime figures look very bad .If however only one person is responsible for all these similar crimes when they do eventually act and clear up several unsolved incidents in one go it is good res

    To be honest rabbit does'nt have a lot of taste unless its been feeding around wild garlic or similar.What it does have is a distinctive texture-very firm,very smooth muscle. The advantage is that it will take on the flavour of anything you care to soak or cover it in.The disadvantage is that unless you have a tiny fryng -bunny you just cannot rush the cooking process. So many people say ",Tried it ,too chewy,did'nt seem cooked through".or similar.Then admit,understandably, that they only cooked it for an hour and a half because that's what the cook- book said.Probably used a recipe for sof

    Right.Don't know if I have to be Donator to give something away.I'm sure someone will tell me and I'll understand if the post is deleted. This has nothing to do with erotic dancers or East European migrant workers .It is a genuine offer.I have a pole lathe that I'd happily give to someone (preferably local ,preferably to a youngster or for educational use).Don't get too excited ,it's just a basic 2"x4" set-up ,with double- runner bed ,"A frame" ends and you need to find your own pole! It breaks down into car-boot sized pieces that slot together for assembly.Probably not worth coming far fo

    Chap dies and at the gates he asks what the chances are of catching-up with his old mate John Smith who passed- over just three days earlier."Some hope!" declares St Peter,"Do you know how many Smiths kick the bucket every day?". Peter mellows when he sees how sad and lonely the old guy looked."Ok ,we may be able to trace him.What were his last words?". "That's easy", says the dead guy,"I was comforting his wife as John lay dying and old John fixed me with an evil stare and said that if I so much as touch his misses he'd turn in his grave." "Bloody Hell!".cried Peter,

    My daughter's grown-up offspring will turn to their Mum and ask,"Tell us about Grandad again .What did really happen to him?". "Well", she'll begin ,"No one really knows but they found one of his boots in Alaska ..with tooth marks from a grizzly bear.Mind you the old sod had to go sometime .He was in his nineties!"

    Fenns= well tried ,effective, easier +safer to set for the inexperienced .Come in two sizes.To be used legally and work humanely and effectivly they must be set in tunnels with the correct minimal clearance between tunnel roof and the jaws of the trap when closed.This minimises the chance of the prey animal being thrown partially clear and foul caught. Body grips =great traps once you have learned to handle them but not an "entry le

    No respect for the countryside or themselves.I agree ,mindless to**ers who should have their rods and their litter stuffed up their back passages so far it chokes them. Round here we have equally thick -headed tw*ts.Not content with poaching private waters(something that to youngsters is almost a right of passage I suppose )they leave crap behind as proof ...

    To catch the fox a cage-trap is the obvious option if it really comes to it...As to whether the fox caught the fish.I thought dedicated Koi ponds tend to be deep so a fox would have to be quick and firm-jawed to nab one on the surface.Not impossible but a bit of a specialist party-piece for old Ginger. If the pond is of the garden golfish type then he might have a better chance of scooping one out or getting a bite in.After all ,foxes hunt frogs and eat frogspawn so they are not adverse to wet feet. More likely ,as everyone says, either the fish jumped out in excitement or due to weather/wat

    Fish cakes are a safe bet or cut into steaks and bake in foil or deep fry .They smoke OK.Picking round the bones is all part of the game. Grilled or baked perch and gudgeon tossed in flour and fried like sprats are far better fish for eating.
