    WOW this is my first visit to this site for a long time and I never new traps could be so entertaining [brilliant] ive been managing pests and wildlife from fleas to deer for about 45 years and used various traps and methods along the way and always enjoyed mole traping the most . This year ive bought 20 putange traps from ratpack as yet ive not used them im still using talpex and flatpack duffus traps . Without opening a big can o worms again are the putange treps from ratpack inferior in any way. thanks in advance Cheers

    I have a 2003 L200 it returns 28/ 30 mpg on a long run if you push it over 3000 revs you start to use more fuel drive craefully and its fine . Great of road ive driven ploughed fields a few times deep snow etc no problems ,good load space its a good all round work horse and its comfortable enough . Its now done 146000 miles ,i change the oil every 6000 and grease gun it twice a year so far so good. The only drawback is the turning circle it takes a bit off geting used to but as thats the only negative point it seems to do everything i need.

    Has anyone done any survey on magpie numbers or raptor numbers and the damage they do to the song bird population since the 1970s Rarely hear very many song birds round this way now.

    This will have those lovely people at the RSPB scratching their heads and wondering how a keeper made a model airoplane to look like a buzzard. On the buzzard subject i drove 6 miles to do a bit stalking the other day and on the way back counted 12 buzzards christ they are geting as common as magpies . Keep smiling Hoolit

    I have a kennel full of dogs sadly ive not trained any on deer ,i know some dogs do it without a problem but after todays stalk i now realise i will have to get a dog for the deer. Im looking for a Hungarion wirehaired vizla bitch . Today went like this ,out at 4.30am That auld bugger Rab slept in so we were a bit late geting on the ground ,after a long time scaning with binos and driving over rough ground we had a long walk up the side of a rape field onto a piece of rough pasture had another good look around then Rab spoted a buck way in the distance we then droped back down the hill a bit

    I carried a book at trials in the late 80s 90s on many occasions under George Ridley and he was a true gentleman and one of the most honest and proffesional judges i ever met. RIP George. Hoolit

Keep smiling Hoolit what colour and where about in west lothian mate? Hi from what ive been told it seems to be a red or dark orange colour all ive been told is it has been seen a couple of times on an estate in west lothian area the guy wont say any more than that ,he is a well respected shooting man in that area. These things tend to come via two or three differant parties so i usually take them as a tip and no more ,i dont know if the

    Hi all at last weve caught the guy ,(well one of them anyway) that has been taking the deer it turns out he has been going out just before dark with beleive it or not a bloody crossbow he did have a dog with a wee staffie obvousily was not working on his own but he is the only one wee caught. We took the crossbow and destroyed it . The guy was a foriegner eastern europe his mates were never caught . My boss arrived and gave the guy hell we did not get the police involved on my bosses instructions ,he reckons there is to mutch expensive new machinery about the place and they would only ta

    Aye Im afraid the shooting community is in the minority in scotland if not Britain but we all know from past promises that politicians have made, the chances of them doing what they say they will is very slim. But the SGA is making progress and with a bit more time we can get our point over . Keep smiling Hoolit

    Aye Greek Phil the article sums it up perfectly ,what a farce the tax payer paying again for one balls after another . Remember the tail docking advice they took from the RCVS and SSPCA, my boss has had two of his own dogs at the vet to have tails shortened due to the damage they received after only one season. I think in Scotland we are in a fairly dangerous position ,as our parliament sit on their arses in edinburgh and take as law every word spouted out by the RSPB SSPCA and the the like. We have only one body lobbying on our behalf in Edinburgh and thats the SGA they desrve all th

    Hi all I remember someone saying they are seeing a lot of black rabbits about i am seeing a lot out my way and as i was driving through East lothian a few days ago i saw about 7 or 8 within a mile or so ,but the numbers off rabbits in general seem to be a lot higher than the last ten years . Is there a rabbit population increase there definately seems to be around me. How about other areas of the country , i would be interested to find out about your areas. Keep smiling Hoolit

    I remember Peter Fraser comenting that they were treating this fine beast as no better than vermin. What a sad day for stalking when Red deer and wildlife in general are treated in this way . Keep smiling Hoolit
