    I sort of was; A stripey, armoured one! ditchy, you will need cages made from prison bars for those boys over beside you , for GODS sake don,t ever fall asleep along those ditches, because those bog bears will devour you , mind and feed the chicks.

    i used these gallon ice cream buckets 17 yrs. ago , and they all just slotted into each other for easy carrying , and sprayed them green , and killed a lot of mink with them , it would save you a lot of money and shipping , just look around you before you purchase anything , and there is always some thing that you can modify to suit your requirements for free . if you turn them upright andattach to a tree or fence you will kill squirrels in them , they kill marten with a similar square bucket like a black flower pot in an upright position in n. america.

    You can order good fox snares from Game and Country enterprises, Selkirk. Hope this helps i hope that they are better than their rabbit snares Do fox snares tend to be more standard than rabbit snares Glenn, or are some of them poorly made as well? as ive said before , in my opinion the majority of commercial fox aand rabbit snares are crap , and profit is the name of the game , made by people who have hardly set a snare in their lives , the usual small loops and and a straight trace wire , when they sell them with a slightly larger noose of a few inches they cha

    i have dyed and waxed traps for over 20 years before anyone in this country thought about it , i was taught out in canada , the north americans have been doing it for a hell of a long time as they have to keep their traps in top nick to work in all weather conditions , as they earn their living with them , so, only a fool would try and use rusty traps, but over in the uk, they seemed to be heart lazy , and the most of the peoples traps that i have seen are usually red with rust , and when they pull the jaws open its like two old creaking castle doors opening , no wonder a lot of foul catches a

    you are right the wires are spun to tight and won,t function properly, a 9 1/2, inch tealer is better for shorter grass , 10 1/2 for higher grass , 2.5 mil. galvanized fenceline wire is what you need for tealers , if you use thin wire , its forever bending , and you are forever straightning and wasting time ,don,t use high tensil wire for tealers as you cannot get it bent ,

    Did I suggest you contact Geordie, his stuff is top notch and decent price too. Pm him. i think its .457 size you want , i should know as i bought 100 kg of the stuff a few years back, snareman will correct me if i,m wrong but i would check first before you go ordering any the snarewire that we got was .455 , .457, is also good , .375 , is to thin in my opinion , some dealers make snares 6 strand with this stuff as they get more from the drum, but the wires are weeker , there fore you are better with the diam. wire that moley and i suggest, therefore you are better asking for brass s

    the problem with those that are doing the training is that they don,t have a vast experience on snaring themselves , the working class,can kiss my arse, ive got the foremans job at last. that about sums it up snareman brilliant , i,m laughing ike hell Is this just fox snares, as if rabbit snares have to be tagged it would be a nightmare. only fox snares ian, anyway you can buy tags all made to your specifications in the states , very cheap , not like the rip of merchants over here who would be wanting an arm and a leg as usual, Aye it seems that way Glenn.

    springers are bad for jumping apart at times when they fire , they seem to have week base springs , that bend and they fall apart and your catch is lost , ive cursed them a few times when this has happened , how the hell they were passed i don,t know .

    fenn traps don,t kill mink in a hurry ,and thats fact, as ive trapped to many mink with them over the years , although i liked them for bank holes , but had to attach drowning wires to put them down and dead very quickly , the 116 and 120 are stronger and far better forbank trail s and holes through flotsam and on log crossings etc. solway have a new spring trap out now that they say have stronger springs , ive said this for many years that these spring traps were not strong enough to kill mink ,especially when you get them up to six pounds plus inweight , but each trap has its uses for diff

    mickey, i once snared a rabbit with a broken snare on its neck , and jagged my hand when killing a hare in a gate net one night as it had a broken wire on its neck also , that was many years ago ,

    im afraid it does not come double stranded, it is a single strand, same diam. as rabbit snare wire , it is extremely strong , its good for rats single stranded, and doubled ,the double strand snares are great for squirrels and rabbits , runs like lightning, woodga and i used it two srands of steel with two of brass and it made a very strong thin snare , i don,t know where you might get it now, as i got a few drums of 4kilos, and also ten kilos , it was given to me from an old guy who had it in his shed for years, he has since died . i gave peg and gun a drum also. but he may have sold it. duc

    d.wing, thats a good thick pole , for the squirrels to run, thats how you snared the rat , as they like squirrels , run higher on a thicker pole , and lower on a thin pole ,

    i hope that you released it safely , after feeding it of course.

    , theres no lock p. j. its just a double strand of stainless steel wire same length as a rabbit wire , its very strong and great for rats, rabbits , and squirrels, and runs very fast , i have caught occasional rats in my mink snare at around 4 inches on ground runs ,but i know from snaring a lot of rats this past few years that they run higher than people think they do , just like the rabbits they also run high , the rats also spring higher in longer grass , again a larger noose is needed to allow for any margin of error ,
