vermin and pest control databases
Foxy09 replied to Holdaway's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
The idea is mate that you put all your info into a database for everyone to see....what your doing, where your doing it...how your geting on...who your clients are and all.....then everyone can come and join in and put you out of business!! No wonder all the others are rubbish its the most ridiculous idea ive ever heard. Foxy -

Mustelids naturally hunt rats in the wild, its what they are designed to do! so dont see a problem with using them for a bit of sport. Use mine at work for clearing rats from under sheds etc the odd bite but nothing as dramatic as some are suggesting on here!! i think theve been watching to many horror movies!! Foxy

Out today with Holly who is in her first season, delighted with how shes turned out, tally including todays is 28 Rabbits 2 Pheasants and a mallard, she works with the lamp, ferrets and follows on great. Took her for a stroll on some mixed farmland/woodland today, got her out and ready and the telemetry wasnt working which just about put paid to the day but i decided to carry on without, rightly on wrongly i neednt have worried, put up a rabbit a few yards from the jeep which she chased into a nearby ruined farmhouse and had killed by the time i got in to retrieve her, some pics from today and

My views are not out of date. DEFRA (formally MAFF) and the Forestry Commission, still train their staff to dispatch squirrels using a bag and priest. Don't get me wrong. I think that what Paul and the organisation are doing is fantastic (hence my donation) - but I didn't like seeing Fenns incorrectly used, or seeing the gun being used for dispatching caged squirrels. As I wrote earlier, its a like using a hammer to put in a screw IMO. To me, it shouldn't be a personal issue, there are good, legitimate reasons to use the bag method. I've personally dispatched many, many squirrels u

12 foot lb for a rifle but 6 foot lb for a pistol I thought?? Does anyone know for certain?? OTC 6ftlbs is the legal limit for an air pistol in this country. Foxy

As I say, most professional wildlife managers use the priest method... The reason? Less chance of missing/wounding, less blood in the trap, no chance of ricochet, and no chance of an ARU turning up. To me, using an air rifle for that is like using a hammer to put in a screw. The end result is the same, but it's just not the right way. But each to his or her own........... Having undertaken a Squirell cull for the FC along with three other PROFESSIONAL Wildlife managers every caged squirell (over 700) was shot at point blank with a .22 air pistol, and the fact that we were

And what would you suggest then Matt?? Foxy Most properly trained professionals (MAFF, FC to name two) train their staff to dispatch them with a priest. Quick, clean and safe. On a personl level i would think shooting them in the cage would be alot quicker than having to remove them then dispatch them with a priest, not to mention the added stress the animal would be put under while doing it, and as for safe? i dont know anyone who has been biten by a squirell while shooting it in a cage, i know plenty who have been bitten trying to remove one from a cage to despatch it or h
