  2. well imagine a 10 holer on a slight bank side holes spead out over say 5 yrds from the top of the bank to the bottom and a good few boulders growing out the bank sides i knew from previous visits this set allways held rabbits as it is sheltered from the westerly winds as we approached i had told molly the deepest dig i had done on this set was 7 ins any way the terriers were there first and were snorting at a boulder and i said to molly theres a rabbit under that stone before any nets were put on i moved the stone and the rabbit was there in a stop end at a huge depth of 4 i
  3. the terriers allways have the advantage as they are the ones hunting the cover and make first contact a good percentage are pegged in their seats before the lurcher can get a run but the ones that did give the dog a chance at he ran them well just looking over the pics once more makes me want to do it all again next time without that bitter wind you never know i might even find my cap

  9. glenn waters was using speed wax and dying his traps 25 yrs ago on his mink trapping line you could say he knows a thing or two about trapping :whistle: as for setting traps in a hollow when setting for rats why make work for your self ? ditchy if you place plank 6 ins wide 18 ins long over the top of the gate rails as i was doing to cover the trap it makes a legal tunnel only took the pics to show the location, most of the sets are aong side walls of buildings and the road ways are concrete so i was unable to seat the traps but as i found i still was getting the rats so i place
  10. harewood house von are you going as ill be there again this year excellent venue and well worth a look
  11. WELL HERE GOES AN EXPLANATION VERY EASY TO SET THESE TRAPS TAKE HOLD OF THE RING PULL ON THE JAW OF THE TRAP WITH YOUR THUMB USE YOUR OTHER THUMB TO PUSH THE JAWS APART ONCE THE JAWS ARE FULLY OPEN FLICK THE SAFTEY HOOK OVER THE JAW THIS WILL STOP THE TRAP FROM CLOSING AND REMBER TO DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU SET THE TRAP LIFT THE TREADLE PLATE UP UNTIL THE BRASS DOG LOCKS INTO THE SLOT ON THE TREADLE. SITE YOUR TRAP IN THE LOCATION SET YOUR TREADLE FOR THE TENSION YOU REQUIRE AND THEN REMOVE THE SAFTEY LAST OF ALL, YOU SHOULD LOCATE YOUR TRAP IN SOME HOLE OR ARTIFICIAL TUNNEL HERE IS A FEW T
  12. just bite the bullet and tell people who you are various people have done checks on your ip address and come up with different locations hy would that be ?? i would have gladly helped out a fellow hunter or trapper if i know who and where the people concerened are located , instead its a guessing game
  13. nice one trev addictive isnt it keep at them mate
  14. there is nothing wrong with the use of wires if you know how to use them the setting hight is the all important factor and if you set them correctly they are target specific the information provided by this gov about snares for both rabbit and fox is out dated and needs to be brought in line with todays modern methods i feel that v.v being a full time pester in the states should know the job inside out and catches as stated are not out of the ordinary at all tight wires every one
  15. I'D LOVE TO BE EIGHT AGAIN A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be eight again" she replied On the morning of her birthday he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her off to the local theme park. What a Day! He put her on every ride in the park: * The Death Slide * The Wall of Fear * The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down Right away they journeyed to a McDonalds where her loving husband ordered her a H
  16. contact gypo joe of the site cheapest available
  17. sliders are not round and you can attach a net very nicely to them
  18. a stop on a fence line snare would surley mean more stress as the animal was entangled in the fencing there for would be of no real value nearly all fence caught foxes are dead in the wire , stops are fitted to all our trail snares and snares set on wood land pathways where we may encounter a deer or other non target animals and if snaring where these are likely to be caught the use of break aways helps prevent this this one has a stop on it and one very dead fox
  19. you allways get bad results when the frost comes down as the rabbits wont venture out into the fields a good windy night with a hint of drizzle will see you catch a few in those wires well done on your first attempt anyway
