  1. Yes mate, year before last. he was a good guy.
  2. IMO all bodygrips should be legal as long as the jaws are of the correct dimensions and as long as there is adequate poundage in the springs .
  3. Alls well that ends well then Matt. If that JN understood moles then he would not be campaigning for daily checks. It's like these who say the moles should be live trapped; they have little or no understanding of them.
  4. Russ Rowley's dogs they were. RIP Russ.
  5. Well if Defra say its legal then it's good enough for me!!
  6. I have thought they were legal for ages too. So where has this understanding come from? Have they been passed or are companys making out that the 120-2 is a clone??
  7. Can ya catch them alive Matt??? I might put a film up of me doing that soon..... Get some footage posted mate.... I have done...... the trouble is that likkle Florence loves to munch them, so whenever I flick one out she's straight on it Not that I'd deliberately set the dog on a mole you understand that would be against the Hunting Act Ha ha ....I never flick 'em.... They all go onto a couple of fields that owe me money,,,, I'm having fun repopulating land of a debtor.... There's more molehills than grass now! ha ha

  9. I didn't think they could remove a trap until the next time the statue is updated?I've got a dozen on them here and they're the most powerful, BG there is in the Uk IMO. How can they pass and then remove them???
  10. The best, most smoothest killing machine that HW ever rolled out of their factory is the 77....without a shadow of a doubt.... A venom tuned 77 is about as good as it gets. There ain't no recoil, no noise, no nothing, 'Cept a whole lotta death at the other end. I've had a few 77's....They were all accurate right out to the 70 yard mark.... I don't think there's any other springer that can match them. And I've had most of them.
  11. I've had two or three 80's. My first was some animal. I took 1089 head of vermin and game with it in the space of a couple of years. The gun was kicking out some real wind, but that was probably due to the fact that i was young and loved to tinker with the gun. We drilled the bore, added washers to the piston and generally tuned up the best we could with primative tools. I shot many of my 'firsts' with my , shot a hell of alot of game with it and that gun showed me what a .177 could do. Shots out to 60-70yards were regular. mine loved superdome and I never, ever put any other pellet through i
  12. There is still lots people never discuss about moles and trapping.....either they don't know or they don't want to talk about it......
  13. Because, the person who does the marking is the one who the stuff is for, be it dogs or property. They then get some scrotes to do the thieving for them....
  14. Are any of these unusual traps any better than the Talpex I wonder??
  15. Some nice shots...what software are you using for the high def??
  16. I would say very few........If i can I like to bung them in the dishwasher, then give them a good coat of rustoleum dip......
  17. It's worth trying mate...and maybe change the recall whistle while she is deciding what to do. You might have to change the recall to click her out of it. I know its a ball-ache, but if she brought back with another small dog/pup chasing her the next step would be to have the other dog there but only on the lead to see what she does, then see if this can be morphed into a full retrieve with the other person and dog (on lead) at greater and greater distance. But, like I say, I'd change the recall for that in case it works then it's like starting the recall fresh again....
  18. That's what I am getting at mate...it is obviously not a recall issue or a retrieve issue...not directly anyway. Something's clicked in her head that she must store /cache food. You'll have to break her out of it. I have had dogs that would bury quarry, i.e squirrels, if I was busy with the gun and didn't take it off them. They would bury the body rather than just leave it and I have seen dogs do the same with hares once they've caught them. I'm just thinking outside the box here, BUT how about you try going with someone with a young pup or a little terrier that will try and take the rabbit f
  19. I have followed this thread with interest.....there's something you could try that might work. Take her to a new hunting area, one where she's never been before, and give her a run on the lamp. As soon as she's caught the rabbit shut the beam off and literally run away to get some distance between you and the dog. She might realise that she's lost, get a bit of a panic on and then on next rabbit she may want to find you a greater sense of urgency knowing that, once again, you're 'abandoned' her and she might just click out of it. What I'm getting at is; if you can create a sense in her mind th
