I heard Melvin Brag use that on the radio a few years ago in one of his discussion programmes. I was sure that he'd made it up just to see if the people he was talking to would notice and had to go and look it up. Always a good one to work into the conversation at work that one.

Personally I think you are both just discombobulating everyone with that kind of lanuage. :11:

Ditch - have a go at this then mate. http://www.countrysideireland.com/news/060425-minksurvey.htm I'd love to see what you put in the 'any other comments' box
-
Just for the record then, I wrote; How to make a live catch rabbit trap (no surpises there) and Hunting Firsts. And thanks to who ever voted for the last one and got it off zero
-
That right Ditch. Is the other thread still running where you're trying to trap one ? Only teasing mate.
-
I didn't envisage carrying it about ona strap - it's a 3 compartment terrier box. Wilky is your's a ferret box then. Oops

I just cut some hazel stakes. length from fingertips to your armpit.

I've just made my first one - probably not quite up to the same standard of finish though.

I was enjoying watching the votes come in - but now it's all gone

Peanut butter for squirrels for sure Peanut butter & cheap choc is my favourite for rats

How about Mink ? are they any good as food Ditch ? I'm fed up of catching them here............
-

Bloody hell Ditch ! I'm only away a week and all this happens .....................

I use them as a ferrule on the end of my sticks - but thats doesn't use up many

Don't stop mate - I've heard BBC3 want to make a documentary on this Get a camcorder !

Just to add to Frank's post DEFRA fox snaring code of practice

I've got a bit of a plan for one which I can email you but not made one from it yet. I could be persuaded to have a go but not for a month or so John
-
bugger. Are you sure it was them though ? As you said I'd have thought any one with an country background would have just had the lot away - for himself or his mates. Could there be someone mink watching ? or whatever it would be called. We had a chap round by us, university professor, who was studying mink and we suspected that he'd released some near the pens so that they'd have a good food supply to get established. Need to hide your traps a bit better mate - particularly for a while as they'll be looking for more. Try building a few 'dummy' ones and see what happens.

more like letting a chicken loose on a fox farm
-
Well mate well done for declaring yourself and your views. I look forward to your contribution and hope we can influence your views positively towards hunting. welcome aboard John

Went down to London on Thursday - fields were starting to be cut south of Birmingham down around Warwick - even a few ploughed in. But not much cut at Oxford or further south

my breath is bated............

According to my little trapping book that I had when I was 7, Mink shit is about 5cm long and tappers towards one end. Stoat and Weasel is about 5cm and 3cm respectively and seems of more consistent width but with a pronounced thinning at both ends. It could be hedgehog too. But I'm way out of my depth here That 'bridge' is just crying out for a trap. It's the perfect place for a box trap if you've finished one And anyway - I thought you were hunting a stole, not stools.
