  1. Firstly, we can't ban anyone with a criminal record. This is an internet forum, not a playgroup! If we banned everyone with a criminal record there would be quite a few members gone... Secondly, as much as the evidence seems damning, he hasn't actually been convicted yet. We have a justice system in this country; it may not be perfect, but we should let it take it's course. Personally, I'd rather leave him here to answer his critics. What's the old saying? "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Crimes involving the theft of peoples animals are about as low as it gets i
  2. has any one asked the guy for a price yet?

  5. i took a freind to see some salX pups years ago, lovely house, nice garden and a smart kennel set up the bitch was in a 6x4 shed with the pups aparrently......so we walked down the garden and f**k me you could smell this shed form 15ft upwind! the poor wee b*****ds were black coverd in baked on scours all matted into their coats, they were thin but not cronic thin and to be honest the whole thing felt like he had had enught of them and just given up. my pall says "f**k me when were they cleaned out?!" the bloke said well this morning but they have spilled their water bowl..... i mean thease p
  6. I haven't got a 'Credit Score', what ever that is. I have absolutely nothing on credit. I owe no one anything. I ask nothing of anyone. What ever this 'credit score' thing is, it just smacks of one more way of them controlling you. What is it; You have to take their loans / pay their interest, just to show you're a good little soldier. Then they'll feed you more loans / interest payments? FFS ..... That's terrible Then again? I haven't seen a human being or heard ones voice in a week. Not so much as a shadow in a passing motor. This doesn't bother me in the least. Even my medical reco
  7. as it says how the hell do you change the battery in a new mk3 collar? terrier one that is.. i dont want to prize it open and feck the damm thing
  8. food for thought...maybe it wont need to be as long (to give the required bag) as it has vertical bad instead of horizontal bag?
  9. lost a dog in action...not realy dogging but still.....and VERY VERY nearly shit myself while helping a freind on a deep dig, i had to drop the breeks and let her go then worry about the audience and "backfill" afterwords
  10. ya know I'm not sure but Bill T was a local legend around here, and I THINK he made the pipe traps before Bob. I'm not sure and I've never asked but it would be interesting to know. All the farmers I catch for still talk about Bill like he was fecking superman! Ahhh now one to ask bob too as he will know! Bob never showed me how to make them traps though he has given me a couple and lent me a few when I was a nipper, but my next door neighbour who is 70 odd tells me about when he used to make gas pipe traps FOR Bill Trouton and he gave me 20 odd pipes all ready made just less the springs t
  11. agreed! if its to be a stop net ie like a minnie long net for ferreting then its too short, but if its what i would (and i think tomo ) call a gate net then it will have a ring or slider on each end and it will be like a massive purse net, set up on two poles if so then the lenght and width are 100% spot on for how i make them..only i use "5 and a bit inch mesh for hares
  12. never seen a square mesh longnet and i cant see how it would remain square mesh after a load of bag has been added? stick to the tryed and tested
  13. yeh bob went over to them a good while back but about 10-12 years ago the only traps i had were ones i scrounged off bob or got at carboot sales ive still got a dozen traps from bill trouton (ask bob about him!) ive now got 60 talpex and about 100 duffas and a few other bits and bobs like fenn loop traps
  14. yes hint the nail right on the head their! no need for any more replys!
  15. i used to only use duffas. then some one gave me a talpex and i love the things now. but i started out on home made full barrel traps from bill trouton and bob merrit....now they sort the men from the boys them traps
  16. this was years ago....ime a drop better now and many many more traps at my disposal...infact i like a good riddled field, its nice to tackle something different
  17. yeh i know all that but its a long job i once had a 20achr field that was black and i mean black with hills it was stubble and their wasnt 3ft between hills. i only had 40 traps at the time and was trying to do it systematically...and it didnt work i was getting 10-15 moles a day right enugh but god it seemed to take ages to get out of that field!
  18. depending on what its made from. if its pipes then their shouldent be too much to do we used to just rake the crap out of them with draining rods and the flappy paddle type thingy on the end, but if its a real stone one made from natural stone then it may have buckled and caved in a wee bit or been dug by rabbits, what i would do is take the top off and all the foofing tops and try and put it right with out going ott on it so its as "aged " as possible that way it wont take as long to settel down
  19. self taught from not catching a mole for days to catching 2 out of 30 traps too kicking arse like they say its easy once you know how but i would like to improve on a few things like clearing up mass infestations faster
  20. a member who posted on this topic wanted to try with a scottie, dont know if he ever did ive often wondered what they would go like!
