    Its a bit controversial this one.Some arent happy,that this LAST 'colony' ,should be eradicated.They have lived alongside the seabirds there,for a long time.Ive read that any 'predation' issues , are circumstantial.......Anyone with any thoughts,on it ? (and it aint only 'Antis',that are bothered !)

    I would be surprised if there wasnt any 'british pesties',who didnt have the capabilities,for this one.I wonder if its down to 'price' or 'expertise'.Maybe the 'new zealand' outfit,have got 'specialist experience', in 'island rat-baiting campaigns ?

    I suddenly have a bad feeling about this,now........
  4. earth-thrower
    Lets hope it doesnt go to that 'New Zealand' mob, like the other one did...........LOL
  5. earth-thrower
    Just done a 'search' on yahoo.Theres a fair bit of information, about it.

    Well lads, ive just learned about another 'big rat job',thats imminent up here (scotland), on the 'Shiant Islands' (Outer Hebrides).Interestingly Its " black rats " this time ! Probably, one of the last colonies,( some say the very last !) A large scale 'poison job' apparently.The expected 'funding' they are going to need for it,is not far off a, 'million' !! I dont know what stage its at, but any of you guys that are interested, better get your "price" in now. ha-ha-ha (and you better give me a 'shout' for telling you about it ! ) LOL

    I think i remember reading in an old book, they can have a second litter.But only a small percentage of moles,they reckon.

    "Not all antis are women,just for the record". No disrespect,but who stated this..........?

    Hassle, you could definitely do without. LOL Its annoying ,because depending on what type of person you are, it can put you off,attending.Reminds me of the very irate (elderly) lady golfer,who came across me setting mole traps,on the golf course.Told me "i had no right", "the moles were here, before us" , and that "i should be ashamed of myself". ha-ha-ha.

    Aye,theyve picked up well,round these parts too.Unfortunately, the same cant be said , for any 'paying jobs' ! ( and that applies, at any time of year )
  11. earth-thrower
    I should also add, that alot of the 'moderators', are actually 'valuable contributors' ,themselves on here ! LOL
  12. earth-thrower
    Does anyone know if "loguns" "facebook" site, is still on the go ? ,because i thought all the 'moaners' on here,would have jumped ship by now. LOL

    I know what you mean,also "rolfe" ,and a few others.I think the final straw for "moley" was a mods attitude,(personality clash ,or whatever) I know for a FACT, a few of the 'moderators' ,are extremely disliked,but i dont think its right to blame them,for everything.Im aware the mods can be wrong,on occasion,but on the whole they are usually 'fair' with everyone.You also have to recognise,it cant be an easy job for them,on here. ps (Please correct me if im wrong,Moley. LOL)

    Litters can be slightly later,up here.(scotland).There was still a few 'sows' bursting to drop,as late as the 9th may,in my neck of the woods.Theres been at least two golf courses,and a couple of gardens,i was to attend,but havent bothered,since mid-May.Ive decided to let the young 'wean', become semi/fully independant,etc.I dont usually do this,but i must be getting a bit 'soft', as i get older.......ha-ha-ha.

    Funnily enough, i just bought " Sporting Gun " today, ( a new one for me ) because i heard an article, i was interested in,was in it.I was pleasantly surprised,cause there was a good range of topics, and a fair amount of interesting (to the countryman) stuff.
  16. earth-thrower
    Thanks for telling us,mate. I dug deep, and purchased the magazine today.Enjoyed the read.
  17. earth-thrower
    Good question mate.I wonder what percentage 'National trust Scotland' wanted left,So they were at an acceptable (or manageable) level.
  18. earth-thrower
    I should know,i got some before.But i cant remember,they were there for a good while.Mines might have been justified at the time,but other guilty parties involved, were strangely overlooked........Something to do with, if you want to be a " girl ",and complain, about a member.I could have done the same to my opposites,but just took it on the chin.......LOL

    Ha-ha-ha.

    Known about this job for quite some time,..the lads are local to me ... The rat baiting gig went to some pro's from New Zealand,...it cost thousands ! Was chatting with the Contractor recently and he mentioned how difficult it was to move rabbits with the ferrets.. The rabbits seemed to stick tight, rather than bolt ... He also told me that they had to travel back into England in order to sell the rabbits. The National Trust owns Canna and, in this instance, they were not keen on risking lost ferrets, possibly ending up, as the only predators on the Island,..so it was strictly a sh

    just out of curiosity mate,why do they want the rabbits culled,in the situations your refering to ?
  22. earth-thrower
    Thanks for telling us,mate.
  23. earth-thrower
    originally, it was estimated there could be up to 16,000 !! bunnies on the place.I heard (on good authority) not quite,but still fecking thousands.....lol
  24. earth-thrower
    I only learned recently that a couple of rabbiting boys from down south,were awarded the contract,on the wee island of 'Canna ' ,up here off the west coast.The same place had a massive rat problem,previous to this,but unfortunately an outfit from New Zealand,got it that time.So im obviously glad it went to a crowd from these shores at least LOL, (even though their englishmen !!) he-he-he.
  25. earth-thrower
    Youve certainly highlighted the potential pitfalls with it there,mate LOL . I love this line, at the end of the article, " To date David has concentrated on the more lucrative retail market,but would be happy to hear from professionals ". Two responses to this, i dont think you would ,really, and pi.. o.. !
