  1. Now anybody will tell you, that as far as snares concerned im pretty shite. But i was walking dog the other day and a lad pulled up and came over and we had a bit talk. He said he does a bit snaring, so i asked him to show me how he sets them, i handed him one of my peg wires, that i have courtesy of Woodga. Straight away he told me loop was too big, curious i let him continue, he pulled the snare through the eye of the tealer till the loop was no bigger than a small persons clenched fist. He wrapped the remaining wire around the tealer so the 'snare' was held in place, he then pushe

  6. Now there's a surprise How much? I'm currently buying swivels like yours for 47 pence each seems like a lot of money for a bit of twisted fence wire, but I can't find a tidy way of making my own. Q Acquire some fence wire, make your own. even if they dont look tidy.... the fox ain't gonna give a shit is he????? Also P&G, how much your fox wires selling for?
  7. Anybody know where i can find a website that will tell me the "book price" for commercial vehicles. If not any idea what would be a good price for a Citroen Relay 1.9D SWB Vreg. There is one for sale at a local dealers for £2995+VAT seem's a good price.
  8. Mr. Gun. When setting a fox wire under a fence, how high do you keep the bottom of the noose from the ground?
  9. One of mine should be fully in season by now. The other two are just starting to come in. Im going to put 2 of them (1 polecat with white 'bib' and 1 albino) over my sandy hob. And the other polecat will just go over my vaesectomised hob.
  10. I usually find it depends on the situation whether i use the long or purse nets. A few months back i was ferreting 2 hedgerows on my own, in a field by the roadside, so it wasnt too bad carting the longnets up there. The first dyke was around 40 yards long and i used four ferrets. I came off that dyke with only 5 rabbits, one of the hobs had a rabbit at a hole and the bunny bolted with the hob still on him, i missed one or two where i ran out of long net and couldn't arc it back into the dyke. . The second was more like 60 yards long, longnets either side with 4 ferrets again, the bolting w
  11. seen a 2001Y Citroen relay for £2000 with 80000miles on. Anybody any idea how much i would get for a Fiat Scudo 1998R 75000 miles mot for 8 months tax for 3 months shelving unit to the rear of the seats, acting as a bulkhead roof racks with two spotlights (driving lights come on with full beam) I was thinking around £2500,
  12. I would say that sounds about right, but i aint no plumber. There is a bleeding device you can pick up for about a fiver with a water container so no mess.
  13. And is tht 45 mpg on a run or short journeys?
  14. Rolling Stones, The Eagles........ I know they were pre-'s but look at the stones, they are still going on, like a duracell battery
  15. Merle, is it a 2.0, 2.5, 2.8, JTD, HDI, TDI ??????
  16. Anybody any idea on the MPG and any general info and comments about Citroen Relay Peugeot Boxer Fiat Ducato VW transporter
  17. Why don't you just buy complete ferret food. saves all the mess with carcasses. I often Give them rabbit leg and the backs when i am running out of freezer room.
  18. whats our longtitude, latitude & timezone (east or west of grenwich)
  19. I always carry an even number of 5 footers, so if i have 3 holes covered, i can have spares pegged next to them ready to flip over after a bolt.
  20. Traditionaly hazel stakes were used, but many people now use the fibreglass poles, I agree the ones from Magnum are fantastic poles, but if your tight-fisted like me, you wont pay for them. An alternative is the poles from brinded at £1.75 each for a 2'6" or £2.25 for 1 meter. I use a mixture of hazel and aluminium for my traditional nets, but fibreglass poles on my quickset nets. Try a steel stockholders, you should get a 4 meter length of alumiunium 3/8" round for about £8, i got 5 poles out of a 4 meter length, they are 3 foot long. When you cut the length down, cut it in an ang
  21. I had problem with mine. I had it on SEARCH and it was reading fine but on the LOCATE scale. I had it on LOCATE and it was reading crap, i had collar 2 foot below locater and it was off the scale. Sent it back to deben and it was a loose magnet? It works fine now.
  22. I would always reccomend keeping a hob, or two, as when you work hobs, they cna shift the stubborn rabbits and can take a few more kicking's than a jill. I personally have two hobs, and two good jills.
  23. Dont build yr hopes up to much, its just a couple of 'end of the day' pictures
  24. Me and two mates set off about 7:15 this morning to a bit of permission 25 miles away. I dont really remember details about the sets as the rabbits were bolting fast and furious, we had a 4 foot dig, 3x 1 foot dig and a 1.5 foot dig. Two sets we done we had 8 from each, we had a couple of 2's, 3's and 4's. Totalling 42 for the day, got a bit of action on the vid. cam, and im awaiting my mate to email me pictures
