    You 're right ,but ,er. Well you know my sad predeliction for the macabre . The advertising made me buy them. Unbiased curiosity made me try them.Honesty makes me condemn them. Sinclair C5 of traps really.

    Apart from the fact that the Nooski trap is not approved -hence illegal -for use against squirrels it is totally unsuitable . The thing is of dubious value against rats let alone anything bigger,tougher and stronger. Cheers

    The rings degrade quite quickly -would'nt want to use em twice or mess about with a dead rat anyway. . I suspect that the rodent stars of the Promotional video on the web were probably accustomed to going into the unset trap for food .Might explain why they seem so keen to dash to their deaths .Did't expect some b*st*rd with a video camera to set the trigger to kill....I gave it a fair trial but as far as I'm concerned the Nooski is a novelty for the collection rather than a serious or humane tool. Only my experience though .Others might have done better.

    Yes .Strangely I was thinking about a post myself asking for other folks' experience with The Nooski. Just as I really wanted Eradirat to prove to be breakthrough(Ok, I suspect it's possibly based on a 1920's idea) I really wanted the Nooski to at least prove itself a usefull bit of kit if only in limited circumstances..How in Heaven the thing was passed as a Spring Trap I don't know .Surely " Spring Activated Self-Locking Snare", would be a more accurate description?. I tested them on a smallholding owned by regular customers who don't seem to mind me trying new or different techniqu

    As for being an "Authorised person".Assuming it's your property or rented to make it effectivly your exclusive property the person who can authorise you to shoot on it (ie give you permission) is the head of your house-hold ( you if it is your home or maybe a parent or such-like if you are a youngster.) . Remember the chap a few years ago who caught London pigeons off the streets for the restaurent trade?Claimed they were vermin and that he could'nt be touched for it.His argument fell flat because he was was'nt "authorised "to do so by the relevent London council department who were resp

    what done this ?

    Graffam used to be a trout fishery I believe-might explain the unpopularity of the pike.Don't know if it still contains trout but that little bream(what is it a foot or so long?) looks like its had its head chopped -off with a fairly blunt knife .Poachers ,kids being spitefull or maybe changing their minds about having a BBQ .From the picture it does'nt look as if its been chewed.

    I wonder how they "service" the collar .Apart being able to clean the terminal or replace a lost cap the things are sealed in resin?

    A mate had a 10 shot mag for his BRNO but it did occasionally jam when it got near the bottom so he went back to the five shot.I think the fact that a few people don't rate the .22 rf very seriously is because they've had bad experiences with semi-auto versions.

    I used to have a triple- two and still use a 12 bore ,410 and air rifles but if someone said that i could only have one gun it would be my faithfull old Brno .22 rim fire. Cheap to run and very versatile thanks to the different types of ammo available. If your land is safe for using one that would be my choice. My son in law,who shoots to quite high competition level and shoots vermin, toyed with the FAC air-rifle idea but decided to stick with his 12 ft lb modern pre-charged rifle.I had a go with it and was amazed at how far air -gun technology had come .

    Spring has sprung at last.Sunshine and neat pics of pretty flowers. Don't know if you have one but my daughter has just bought me a tripod for close-up macro-type shots from of all places the Pound Shop.Not quite as robust as the ones you see in the proper shops but for a lightweight pocket camera it seems fine.

    This herd run from The hxxxer ponds area across to the legendary "toothpaste mines"& down to the edge of town at night.Could be he same ones you saw -seem to be more white ones every year.Very big herd further south along the East of the 24. King John sent over 200 greyhounds to Knepp when he wanted to stock his larder so the area has always (despite the efforts of Canadian servicemen stationed here in the war apparently )held a good population of Fallow.

    Sorry to revive an oldish topic but I've just had a potter round a farm that used one of these tunnel busters a few months ago.Farmer showed me where rabbits have started opening -up the burrows again.Rather like badgers knowing by instinct the sites of historic setts. These burrows are now going to be bugger to ferret I'll bet.All cave-ins and dead -ends.Farmer said he probably( )won't use the thing any more.

    depends on where your fishing mate,rivers yes River fishing is allowed this time of year. even though they are spawning No. Thank God there is still a Close season on rivers though I think a few so-called specimen hunters would like to see it scrapped so they can notch-up a few river records with heavy spawn-laden fish.Stuff like that makes me feel like chucking the rods away. Right I'm off to shoot a few nesting pheasants but should be back in time to watch the Pregnant -women's Olympics on Sky.

    Sorry not the best again.Blxxdy llamas get everywhere.
  15. comanche
    Not the best quality but I was flat out behind a blade of grass using a pocket camera and these are wild deer.Never got an SLR or a long-bow(joke) when you need one!

    Getting a dog of the cross or type that you really fancy owning helps.I don't mean anything silly like buying a sausage-dog because you love the way they look and than being upset when it fails to perform well at the high jump. Imagine you have an albeit unexplainable urge for , say, a Bengal tiger-hamster cross but the bloke down the road says its a rubbish cross but his wife has a litter of aardvark-gerbils for sale and he persuades you to buy one. Anyway the Bengal tiger-hamster crosses arn'nt ready for another month.Soon as the aardvark/gerbil shows a problem with wor

    Sorry for being obvious but do check your gun will take 3 inchers .Most modern ones will but still check.

    Crikey.It was over 24 hours ago that the poor guy asked for advice about a girl who seemed intent upon forcing her bestial attententions upon his inocent young flesh .I wonder if he is still alive even!

    Rough coated too .All that greyhound a whippet blood .What a powerfull genes that little bedlington had.! Bound to take 100 bunnies a night,carry em back to the van ,skin em for you and while you have a doze the dog will be on the phone to the game dealer.All at six months .

    Ibred a litter from a 22" coursing whippet(by Chancerick Casper) and my collie bitch getting on for 30 years ago.My brother kept one back .Lovely dog ,pity my wayward bro(bless im) did'nt actually bother training him because he was a great self-taught rabbiting dog .In the "right hands" and all that .

    I don't think how many moles a trap has killed actually matters. It is obviously the number of times and length of time a trap spends under tension that fatigues the spring. My traps sometimes spend an embarrassing length of time under tension.

    I've bolted a mink whilst ferreting rabbits .It popped out either through or under the net and bounded off. On another occasion, having bolted a rabbit the ferret layed- up and while I was trying to lure it out a mink had a go at the dead rabbit I was using as bait. It was inches from my face ,hissing at me.Bit of a shock.(actually I squealed like a toddler .) Eventually the ferret came out ,tail all bottle-brushed but the mink stayed put.

    Can't ye? Have ye tried? Bodiss. Bethal Rhodes. Eliza Tinsley are a few possibilities that ~ oh f*ck ~ spring to mind Thanks .I'm making notes of those." Spring to mind" ?

    The main contention that I would have is that the public must be able to access this stuff very very easily.I have a very catchy ad(So I'm told by the odd customers that actually stumbled across it) for my services somewhere on the web.After being told that "everyone does it on the web nowadays" by the salesman for the Trade directory I joined .Blooming waste of time because the site is not visible or promoted enough .

    My daughter gave me this guys( or maybe another " 20 sets and chuck guy "because he did'nt favour the scissor trap)) book for Christmas..He gives the impression he favours the better quality of Duffus style trap. Won't slag anything he wrote off because though I've been catching moles as part of my living for many years I'm far from being a specialist at the game. In fact I found some bits of the book usefull. The bit about throwing away traps did puzzle me though. I obviously would'nt use one I thought was'nt powerfull enough .One of my old lady customers gave me a rusty thing her dad las
