No there not, your a fool for making such a f*****g statement, there are people who cannot afford one and some like ditch, that prefer the old way. Does it meen that they shouldnt provide meat for the table? Oh, and by the way and one who cant spell 'Ferreting' is a fool YOU WONT PROVIDE MUCH MEAT FOR THE TABLE AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WITHOUT ONE MATE

anyone who goes ferriting without a locater is a FOOL

my grandad trapped rabbits ,between the wars ,and used sara traps ,he said they were better than the dorset trap as they killed the rabbit ,and were easier to set,.perhaps one you trap collecters could post a picture as i for one have never saw one.micky

i would coat all of the insides of this setup, because there ears and whiskers are more sensitive than there feet . micky

looking at them ,i would say 6x6 [inches] micky

anyone ever used pocket poppers? they look like they could be a handy bit of kit .they stabilise the trap and form a small cubby.they could be pushed or buried into most rabbit holes with some adjustments for the spring. come to think of it ,why?,it havent fenn come up something like this as it would solve most of the problems with the mark6 [holes to big or small] and if the trigger plate was set in a well ,it would only need small amout of peat to cover it ,thus reducing the risk of stones falling under the plate micky

when i was a kid we were playing with a gat,two coppers pulled up in a black maria and took it off of us, while one of them was asking who owend it the other one pulled the trigger and the barrel shot through the f*****g winderscreen .its still funny 50 later micky

i used to have 3 butchers who took a dozen each week in season,and an old boy who would take 50 plus, any week they were avalable. he sold them in working mens clubs and made a few bob,a lot of free beer and was known as the best poacher in the world .he,s dead now and the butchers have all closed down along with most of the working mens clubs, times have changed,if its not hal hal meat it wont sell in Leicester. micky

in all the pictures about ferriting you see spades, nets, ferrits, and locators, but never see a probe.its one of the best bit of kit you can carry, it can save hours of digging, used as a walking stick,to carry the bag,and in my lads case use it to push down the top wire on some electric fencing. micky

Glad to hear it mate, but I have to echo the others on here- slightly irresponsible in the first instance. And also, I get the impression- and find it very concerning- that if someone had replied to your original post with "I have a couple for a fiver each if you want them", you probably wouldn't have gone looking for the lost ones. Still, glad you got them back.

i saw a bunny hop out of some long wet grass and shake itself dry just as a dog would.after 60 years of trying to catch them its the first time i can ever recall seeing one do it. micky

during the late 1970s i caught rabbits on lord spencers estate in northamptonshire.on five separate occasions i trapped white rabbits,his lordship told me that they had been introduced in the 1900s to make the lawns look pretty but i suspect it was to add new blood and weight to the local stock. last week i drove past nobottle woods for the first time in 25 years i stopped and picked one up , it had been hit by a car.there coats are stained brown from burrowing but they are still unmistakably white.over the years i have caught quite a few black and one ginger rabbit but althorp is the only

the best lamp dog i ever saw would not take sitters. she would walk slowly up the beam and stand about 6 feet away ,one ear erect she wait for the rabbit to move. though not a very fast dog she had the knack of bowling this type of runner over within 10 -15 yards . her best night was 69 rabbits in feb 1978 on the althorp estate northamptonshire. micky micky ill be interested to know what cross it was. rew bedlington xwhippet x collie xgreyhound owned by the late jimmy chambers of whitwick leics.she was 22 inch very soft mouthed and an excellent retriever . my dog was
