Original French Putanges
earth-thrower replied to goldfinger's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Clive, your absolutely correct,...I did purchase, from your 'BIL',...& thats so minor a point, that it wasn't worth mentioning, cause I take it you sourced & sent the traps HE sells over, or whatever ?,....(& again that's not a 'dig' !),...& if I remember only one trap,...f....d up,...so remember saying , "give us a tenner back" ? ? & I will hold onto the other, to use & for reference, (or that s what I ended up thinking)......& the rest of your statement is fairly accurate ?,...apart from "threatened your BIL",...?,....again, not quite right,......I said " I can r -

Actually, forgot to mention,....i did eventually get that one back into setting position,..by luck i think, lol cause you never actually said, how too ?..but thats not a 'dig' just saying,..... (also, i actually liked setting the Putange, single , often , near the end of a tunnel system, & got plenty success that way, as well,...so versatile enough) -

CLIVE,......misleading,....or misinformation, what you said about me above ?,....there is a difference, cause its one or the other ?,.......the facts are (& its all on an earlier thread, anyway,...),......i bought a pair off you ? yes,...but why would i buy a load of a trap type, initially, i havent tried out before ?,....so bought the minimum amount,....& thats right, first one i practised setting,....knocked itself right out of shape !..is best way i can describe,....& YOU said, afterwards that FAULT CAN HAPPEN with them,....but its not a big issue, & they can be fixed easily -

Jeff Nicholls, a long time , traditional mole catcher, with a body of work, behind him,...books , equipment, films, etc,.....but has his faults, nonetheless ....& is the 'arch enemy' , it seems,.....of that 'gardener guy' (above) who thinks he's , 'winding ME up',.....???

Anno, once you try them 'stainless' it's hard to go back to any others,...perhaps would be beneficial to have a bit extra power in them springs, at the manufacturing stage (& I've expressed this too them)....but your modifications, here once again,...looks like its definitely helped things.
-
It's also strikes me........that your complete obsession & loathing, over Jeff, & how his plans, WILL affect you, etc,.......leaves you convinced that he holds that much influence, all his aims will realistically be achieved ...does it ? ,...cause I don't necessarily share that view, that he may have that much 'sway' , with the powers that be,....although i can't see him stop trying,...he's relentless. So it would really fit you better,...to grow some b...s ,.....instead of being seemingly 'impotent' to me , regards the whole matter ? !,......have you tried confronting him directly, by

Oh, ...another 'voice of authority' has just piped up, again,....'well done' ,.....'pat on the back',...for you, & all that, here, for that contribution, CLIVE !! ?

Honestly, ave heard it all before from you,....so let me reiterate, (again) sorry ?,....I will carry on 'moling' ,...how I see fit,...& neither Jeff, nor anyone,...is gonna stop me, ok ? NOW CAN YOU COMPREHEND THAT.....& your obviously that much of a 'pussy' & greetin over what Jeff's aims are, & how much anxiety it's causing you etc,....my question is (again) , what you gonna do about it ?,....& I'm not interested in the slightest,...."who's on who's side " , etc & AGAIN, you state that "the barrel traps, i mention" ,...are inhumane" & you state why , etc ???

Opening line,..of his "slogan" can happen,....I've witnessed (heard) it at least twice, over the years....pulling a trap up (an old style scissor & a wee fenn ,a think), with mole still alive.....first time, has stayed with me,......all this time,...another occasion a mole was real vocal, when flipped out the ground alive, once,......rest of the "slogan" well,..is questionable, wouldn't argue over them parts, really

Excellent,...mate

Oh, & Jeffs new slogan,......for his ongoing 'fight',...lol " BELOW GROUND, NO ONE HEARS THEM SCREAM ",....." and the simple solution - three little words - see you tomorrow ",........(& its already stirring up interest from all sides !,...i heard),.............................................Aye, its a potent statement alright (i think) ,....powerful, & very hard to ignore ! lol
-
A couldnt give a f..k , ya cheeky b.....d !,.....YOU asked ME to EXPLAIN, previous, & try & address , why this & that, regards what jeff wants etc,......so i had a good guess, & applied a bit of my own experience, & tried to give you some valid reasons/suggestions, etc & tried to answer your points comprehensively,......so you got your reasons, ok,....you ignorant, c..t, ok ?

Also,....i stated PUBLICLY, as well (did i actually message you, regarding that ?,...its ok i will double check,...lol) i changed my mind, & conceded the Putange (genuine) seemed suitable for the job , when deployed correctly,.....it can catch 'foul' as well, just like the rest,.....& is a fiddly wee f****r, i find ,...& as a result only use it in specialised situations, where its desirable to have a trap set completely below ground,......& i should say them 'ultimate' stainless steel ones, i first heard about off my 'best mate' CLIVE,..on here !,......they are better than the

"24 hour trap checking",...... isnt to benefit YOU lol...its for the MOLE,..(well , according to Jeff ?),..obviously hes based this on if its 'foul caught', by a paw, end of abdomen, etc,...& potentially can be dispatched sooner ?,...(& im aware how this 'thinking' can be flawed,in practise, etc),....seems the olden day catchers could hang about waiting on the 'hazel wands' to spring up, & deal with the mole, quicker, etc,..(& its rumoured all traps were lifted at the end of the day,..),....TO ME,....checking traps daily was never bad practise anyway,.....& indeed walking
