    No they're not. They are a much smaller battery, powering say a 10watt bulb for 3hours. You use the same battery on a 50w bulb, it aint gonna last very long is it? However, the batteries they use as backup in fire/burglar alarms are the same batteries, but usually only 7amp/hr battery why not put it on your cig /lighter adaptor? the way i lamp from the van is just using the lamp with the normal shoulder (belt or back pack whatever you use) and when you get the driver to stop you can hop off, lamp in hand get a dog and away you go

    well lads, havent been on computer for a while, i have had my hands full in the means of a lurcher pup. No photo's - sorry, but i caught a few rabbits in the wires, a think a fox had been working the field as some of my snares had been pulled out the ground - about 4 (and the pegs were well in - and i was using marker pins!!!!!!!!!) Caught a 3/4 grown bunny on a nice little beat just as the run comes off the tram line and towards the wood, and one i was chuffed about was a beat just before the bunnies jump down a banking, on a fence line - remember the one DEL???) Also had a c

    Set around about 30 wires this morning with DEL. Set off about 7ish, seen all sorts of wildlife, Roe Deer, (dead) wild polecats :whistle: woody's plenty of bunnies. We were setting pegged snares on tram lines, couldnt use the hoops as the ground was very stoney and was hard enough to hold pegs anyway. Also set about 7 fence wires along the a fence on the side of field. Some cracking sets. And we set 5 pegged snares in the wood at the bottom of the field

    Im sure Mr Gun takes 100 bags regularly. He most probably takes them to Mr. butcher and gets some £££s As for the cleaning part, if you dont wanna gut them, dont kill them. i know lazy fuckers that nail 15 a night with dogs and just chuck them, pisses me off. I dont mind gutting bunnies, especially on a cold morning ferreting, really warms the hands up. Its all par for the course

    Labour is a racist party - against the working white englishman. In the first few years they were in power they brought in about 50 stealth taxes. if your an immigrant, you get a house and a car, and benefits, if your a single non-working mother you get a house and benefits. The bit annoys me is that us young lads go out and graft to make money and we still have no chance of getting on the property ladder maybe i should paint myself black & i will get a house no problems f**k LABOUR if your an immigrant, and you have no drivers licence, insurance tax or MOT - and your d

    Lightforce 240 Blitz every time for me. Spot on for back of the van, and good for rabbits aswell. Some may think the beam is too long for bunnies, but you never know how far away they will run from you. Plus you can easily just lift the lamp a bit higher and point it downwards. it works for me, i remember foxes & hares in the beam of a 170 some years ago. or even better if you can get one a COLEMAN 800,000cp they are the muts nuts

    Just the one this morning. Was a quiet, clear night and this lad was screaming like a banshee this morning. The landing pad you can see is just after the bunnies jump through a fence on a slight banking

    I use 1" wide nylon webbing tie a hoop in one end. I slip this over my wrist, and hold the other end with my hand. These type of slip leads are the best, as they are quick and there is no accidental slips lik you get with "toggle slip leads"

    definatly looks like its off a minshaw line i believe i know the man you got the pup off. The mother is keira, who is off minshaw line, and i think the father is a dog from typp ratcher, and i bet you only paid about £30 for the dog.

    Well checked them half 6 this morning. Caught one rabbit jumping 3rd box up on a box wire fence, only one knocked wire, which has been re-set a bit higher for its victim. AND a first for me, a fox cub in a fence wire, set for a rabbit. Forgot to take the camera with me, but got these photos taken at home

  18. Rabbithunter
    my mate has beddy whippet. spot on ferreting and bushing, and lamping rabbits at night I had a whippetxsalukixgreyhound and he was a good lamping dog, but not too clever for ferreting but good for ratching through woods

    whats the strings in aid of, in the words of Glen Waters "a professional trapper does not use cord" See P&G, Woodga, Rob Sharpe, and give it a few month's, me you can buy about 50 fence wires for around £15, and 25 pegged snares with tealer & peg for around £30.
  20. Rabbithunter
    i shall do

    Since its getting widny, thought id put some wires out on a farm 2 mins down the road. Theres not a lot of rabbits here, but theres a few on a field that backs onto a smallholding. Set 14 fence wires & about 10 pegged wires. Be up tommorow before work and leave them till thursday morning

    It keeps myhead warm and the trackys bottoms are because it was boiling yesterday and i couldnt be bothered ratching out jeans/combats this morning im a right grumpy twat in a morning Mitch, wild polecats make a different noise to any ferret i have heard, its a very high pitched, ear peircing squeal. Unfortuneatly it had to die :whistle: Reason being is i didnt have a pair of welders gloves and chainmail up my arms to release him alive im sure Mr. Gun could do it though, brave c*nt and yes phil, you can send me that cap if you want

    Well suffice to say after the dog going on saturday i wasnt the best of moods to set snares. But i did so yesterday & picked them up this morning. I caught five rabbits and a polecat who was very pissed off, there is never a big stick around when you need one, but i found one eventually There was a young rabbit, which i let go un-injured
