Thanks Daniel, I had a snared rabbit once, all that was left was a cleaned skin, with the very end tip of 3 paws ! ,...& had a feeling it was brock

Found what was left of this stoat (I think) it's skin seemed to be pulled right back, almost inside out,...all internal flesh & bone, mostly gone. What bird or mammal has eaten this ?

Aye, I'm aware of the makers of these more modern versions,....both very good traps ! (I'd be interested in your wooden one, etc)

They were common before the invention of the duffus, half barrel, & were still available alongside these newer metal traps, for a short while, apparently

I'm looking for any examples of these old traps, both full & half barrel types (wooden),....if anybodys anything for sale, thanks.

This was an old probably commercially available trap (at one time), from the 50s/60s i reckon this one, which was in not bad condition for its age,....the spring seemed strong enough, so I put it to work,.....

This one ain't a mole !.....(last trap o the day, too)

Not strictly,...on both points

Nice run,....

Maybe mate ?

This is only the second time ave had this, in over 30 year, both were still warm. Wonder how common it is for this wee predator, to actively hunt the mole in its tunnel system, or is it more opportunistic ?
