    Thanks for sharing the photo's lad! Nice Job, but i was hoping to use what i have in the shed, the brackets will suit better for box's!

    No something more on the lines of those killer clips that can be got on line! Suppose I could buy a couple, and just copy them!

    Yea understand Pete, and I'm sure it works as good as any other method! Was thinking more on the lines of the bracket type mainly due to the fact that I have a piece of tin in the shed I could make use of, and they don't look very complicated to make! Also, if I made up a bunch of them, they'd be handy to store e.t.c!

    Lads have any of you made your own bodygrip mounts, and if so, what are the dimentions you use for them?
  5. EDDIE B
    Nice idea lad but not practicle! My arms are tired just looking at it! Same idea with smaller, lighter material would be a better option!
  6. EDDIE B
    As above, and if so, what had you it staked to and with what? Feckin lousy if it was nicked!

    I use lard meself, does the job!

    Top job with the boxes Pete!

    Yea keep it simple, speed dip or black mat spray paint! A can a paint will go a long way and no real need to camo them up!

    Maybe i've lost the plot, or just have too much time on my hands Pete! I don't know, just like making my own stuff, be it fox snares, bait or trap swivels e.t.c! Seem to spend more time in the shed than the house lately! Besides, i don't even notice the smell any more, can't say the same about her indoors though!:-)

    I've done similar with mink except i rub the actual mink around the other sets and that works a treat! made up some gland lure recently and i'll give that a go next year if it turns out o.k!
  12. EDDIE B
    Where'd ya buy the gear after lad, locks e.t.c? Your nicely set up now to make some snares with ease!

    Yea i would agree with most on this! Mice or even very young rats! Caught a large rat in a friends loft along with seven very small rats all caught with mouse traps! The mouse traps were actually left in the loft by the owner some time before i went up there, and so i just set them whilst passing!

    I bought all the gear years ago and still have some left, got some off Fourteenacres, some off ebay including a bag a micro-locks that i just re-use over and over again! Cost ya few pound to gather up the parts but cheaper in the long run!

    In my opinion BGs are far superior to Fenns when it comes to killing power! I use them on mink and the 110 is more than strong enough for the job, and i cant remember the last time i had one alive in the trap! Saying that, for an all round trap the fenn is probably the better option if your gonna use them on rats mainly!
  16. EDDIE B
    means your doing it right...you wont find rats where theirs mink so your trappings haveing a affect on them! Well that makes sense alright! With all this flooding the rats will be turning up in many a back garden and farmyards!

    Nice work there lad! Found it hard keep the rats outa my mink traps this year!
  18. EDDIE B
    Your gonna laugh at this but the best bait i've found for catching rats is some Crispy Fried Onion which can be got in either Lidl or Aldi, cant remember which! It has a really strong smell and rats go mad for it! It comes in a tub and lasts for ages. Even works around chicken coops where the rats are feeding on grain and not bothering with other baits! Keep that to yourself now, and don't tell a soul! :-)

    Had a quick look at the site and just wondering why the Belisle 110 are a good bit dearer than the Bridger 110? Don't know much about any of the American brands! Are they made from better quality steel, better action, spring e.t.c?
  20. EDDIE B
    Thanks for that Lad! I'll have a root around! Glen knows his stuff alright, have his trapping dvd!
  21. EDDIE B
    Fenn's and Magnum's for mink! I get the odd lad that twists the cable on me!
  22. EDDIE B
    Hello lads! Just wondering are any of ye using swivels on your trap chains, and if so are you buying them or making your own? I'm using large fishing swivels at the moment and they do the job but just wondering is there an alternative that can be easily got or even home made?
  23. EDDIE B
    Congratulations lads on organising a great day out! The show was very impressive, with a big turnout despite the weather, with plenty of good quallity dogs on show! All the best with next years show!!!

    My advice! Once he's inside, lock the door, and throw away the key! :crazy:
