  1. i don,t have a problem with them ,winter or summer , most of my trapping is done thru spring and summer, but i have had plenty of big (4lb+) rabbits in the fenns in winter and they hardly moved the trap, depending on the place ,sometimes i block everything and trap any opened up holes the next day , sometimes i trap the best holes and block the rest, sometimes i just trap the best holes and leave the rest alone...at this time of year if i set 30 traps , i would expect somewhere around 30 rabbits in 3 nights, thats just how it works out , mid summer you get a few more than that cos of rabbit nu

  6. peg snares work well . the standard ones are a bit more difficult to set for a novice did you find them on that site .he sells alot of stuff i hope you don,t set them like the one on ian hadges site have a word with woodga , he sells a very good snare i ve just looked at the pic on the site & i can see what you mean but they are probaly just trying to display it well Then they have failed abysmally.... The truth of the matter is that few sellers of field sports equipment have any fecking idea as to what they are selling... Its a crazy scenario,...a bit like

  8. found the place, got me a new double bow backed for £25 easier than me butchering bits of wood and nails, had a good bit crack with the lad and his missus?? he had a very nice hand made 75yd double twined longnet for sale, have to say i was tempted, but he said it was expensive , i didn,t ask how much cos i don,t need one or even have the use for a traditional style net, he,s at harewood this year and the midland

  15. i think the title of the post say it all , there is a fair bit of info on here and other sites to help anyone interested in snaring foxes, rabbits ,etc, its just a case of having alook round BEFORE you try your hand,any muppet can set a snare, the hard bit is doing it properly and catching and holding your intended target, with this internet mullarky these days there are no excuses for ignorance
