    stubby have you ever fed them to your chickens? they love mice, i remember many many years ago digging out an old compost heap with a bush in it, it was in my chicken run and i dug out a mouse nest that was in it there was about 8-10 mice and about 20 chickens, the mice were ripped to pieces i couldnt believe it as i didnt know they did this at the time. It was pure carnage.

    'Some of us'???? Probably only you, mate! If you're making a living from mole-trapping alone, you've obviously stumbled onto a secret no-one else knows? Love to hear what you know!? Mind you, it's probably 'commercially-sensitive' information? Beggsy? If you really want to learn how to trap moles for a charge, best advice I can offer is t'internet! 'Google' really is your friend, mate! Not taking the piss, but get your finger on the 'search' button & have a look? If you're still stuck after reading all the info' available, send me a PM & I'll help you out if I can And

    One of my clients contacted an un-named London Borough to be told by the Customer Service Advisor that foxes were protected and they could not do anything !!!! Yes, they are protected from harm, cruel acts, The Animal Welfare Act 2006, but they are pests and can be humanely and legally controlled. Giving the public misleading information is a crime itself as they then think we are the criminals !! I found this on what looks like a large companys web site telling you foxes are a protected species its no wonder pest controllers get people having a go at them when even some pes

    i`ve had different breeds over the years but all i keep now are light sussex, good layers, look nice, good mothers, can be fattened if need be, very hardy, great foragers, and did i mention they look lovely

    i just got back in from another bit of targeting, scopes zeroed at 35 paces, at 70 paces (notice i`m saying paces not yards as i`ve got short legs) it seems to be an inch low i then thought f##k it i`ll try a long one paced out 120 and was around 6-8 inch low but a good group so the barrel length doesent seem a problem, as you guys said, i just need to learn to judge the drop on longer shots. all in all i`m very happy just to add that the cci do seem a little inconsistent some are much louder than others and these tend to be the flyers in the group. i will use them up then try the el

    all positive for the 16" thats made my mind up. just one more thing is there a big difference in mods only i see the ones in my local shop are between £30-£70 the more expensive being about 3" longer will this make it any quieter?.

    well its been a long road but i finaly got my variation for .22 rimfire, after my first application was downgraded from this to fac air which i got before xmas but i thought about it over xmas and new year and decided that it wasnt fair that i was downgraded to something i didnt want and was very expensive so i put straight back in for a .22 rimfire and argued my case for it and against the 12 month mentor condition that he wanted me to have, it has come through with no mentor condition. it just goes to show that if your having trouble with your application DONT GIVE UP just get your facts st

    right i`ve got an idea, shear a sheep then make a dumby sheep and put the fleese on it spray it with ficam w and stand it just away from the stream

    i suppose i am a small farmer, not me my land i only have a few acres but i keep chickens, geese, pigs and sheep mainly for our own use, but i love it and wish i could buy some more land to keep some cattle on.
  24. trapperman
    my sheep are soay with a short fleese so dont suffer with fly strike so much but my mate keeps cotswolds and they do, he uses a pour on solution i think which lasts most the season i think, could speak to your local farmers store they should be able to help. i dont know of any way to get them under control out in the open before they strike tho.

    i have had them for a while now and must admit that i dont get on with them that well they do catch and kill quite well but i just find them a little fiddly and of course you have to use 2 traps for each set and they are not cheap you also have to dig out your backfill to check them which adds to checking time, i use them sometimes in tight awkward runs tho. 100 half barrel traps from flatpack are about £280 thats at least 3:1 against the cost of talpex, and their good traps too
