  1. Where do you live, i might be able to let you have a couple of working ferrets, if you are stuck, i hope the wankers that stole them get shagged with rusty barbed wire. cheers Brian
  2. Just thought i would drop a line to wish every one a happy and prosperous new year, all the best Brian
  3. i have ordered a few times from minnesota trapline products, great to deal with, but sometimes you get hit for import duties, but that is not down to them
  4. Same as cornishtrapper, no problems with UK traps, good quality gear and brilliant service,
  5. Mat, Wildlife trusts say the same, sack and stick method only, and you have to sighn a contract saying so or you dont get the work, forestry commission say no firearms under any conditions and you have to attend one of their trapping courses. Trapping combs do help with dispatch when using a air gun, and i do know some lads that are using kanias instead of sacks or guns as a dispatch method, not that i would want to carry one round 30 or 40 traps twice a day.
  6. Think i might sell mine, xmas coming up , could do with cash.
  7. summer months, they are easy to catch, most of the natural food does not appear till the autumn, i do a lot of grey control for the red squirrel society's and they will not pay for trapping during the autumn, but they still pay for shooting.
  8. We gave up serious trapping of squirrels about 3 months ago because there is so much natural food about, there are tons of beech mast, acorns, hazel nuts and berries everywhere, probably start again in January. Also you must take into acount what they have already stashed.When the food source has gone they are pretty easy to cage trap, i put all my traps on platforms up in the trees ,stops predators wrecking the cages trying to get the squirrels out, whole maize and peanuts are a good bait, hope this helps. Brian
  9. BMI 110s direct from the company are $43 per doz , and i can assure you that i have handled plenty of other brands and all as good, having trapped in Canada. I get all my body grips sent over and even with shipping i save alot of money, lad.
  10. How do suppliers in this country come up with such high prices on 110s, in the us they can supply them for $36 per dozen, thats about £20.
  11. In reply to what foresterj said, i think 40 yrs with working dogs, gives me a [BANNED TEXT] to express my opinion, and i stick by what i said , i am on hill farms nearly every day and i bet i have only seen 1 workingbeardie and hundreds of working borders, that tells you something, Brian
  12. I wish i had been cleaning out my shed and found some of them,
  13. Wise words from a wise old head, i have seen loads of good dogs ruined by inpatient young lads [not just young lads],takes time to make a decent work mate, you wouldnt expect an apprentice to build a house.
  14. I love Collie crosses, but the beardie blood is a waste of time, proper working beardies died out years ago because borders were better., how many farms do you go on and see working beardies ? not many.
  15. I have one off one of his dogs, Black and white Beardie cross, it took nearly 3 years to grow up, nearly drove me nuts, but i stuck with her, then had 18 months of a very usefull animal, would not tackle any thing big, but caught a mountain of rabbits, but its driving me nuts again because if it thinks its can get away it wont chase them . i would not have another.
  16. Came back with a new tx 200 in 22, thanks for help Brian
  17. I allready have a falcon pcp, and a theoban 20 cal, to much hassle when you just need to pick it up to do a job. dont get me wrong, the theoban is a awsome bit of kit, i am just about to set off to Blackpool air rifles to have a look at wat they have in, cheers
  18. Full time pest controller, mainly rabbits and feral pigeons. Brian
  19. This as probably been asked a thousand times but, i need to buy a new air rifle for work, i would like to know your opinions on what to buy, i dont want a pcp, {allready have one], spring or gas ram, thinking 22, and thinking of spending £450 to £500. many thanks Brian
  20. Never had any trouble with Ian Woods,always got my gear no probs
  21. try cage traps on platforms fixed to the sides of tree,wire them open,then prebait for a few days. this is how i catch 90% of my squirrels.no kill traps allowed because of reds. I work 40hrs a month for local red squirrel group
  22. had an email from beeb admitting that their program was one sided and factually inacurate,but ar;nt they all?
