when i tripped and broke my camera i also caught my mouth and had to go dentist he made a mold and i went back today and have two teeth removed and a denture fitted , a very expensive Hare. On the way home i called in at a field where a lot of blewits grow there was plenty there and i picked about 15 lb for my sister who will preserve them i left the rest in the pasture for the cattle to knock over shame though they are very blue here and fetch a premium price but no market.

Where has he gone??? seemed a decent chap , knew his netting, always tried to be fair, not heard from him in ages.

Very good result Eddie, i cannot seem to do anything right i keep getting traps that have been fired with nothing in them.

A farmer told me where there was a few Rabbits last week so i went early one morning for a look and sure enough i saw about a dozen run to the hedge from the cover of a fallen tree where they had been feeding in the half light , yesterday i took ten traps and a bag of Peat and and had a good look around in daylight , i was surprised to see there was only four holes and they did not look to good though further up the hill was a large well used Badger sett that was also being used by Rabbits i left that be and went back and trapped the four holes i also set four hoops in a well trodden gate

you get what you pay for

Not the best time of day to take a picture but i think there may be Blue in this one

I was back at this place at first light the farmer had told me that there were plenty of Rabbits in this hedge but i did not believe him , the holes were not being used , not shit or scrapeings , but he was right and i was wrong and i must have seen 15/20 rabbits run in so i will have a little go next week easy to get at but it is a boundary hedge and that will be a problem, i walked back to the motor and passed a ring of blewits the sheep had flattened most of them put i took a picture of em and some mushrooms that are still growing

ain't it just , FLUCK HIM

I am not sure i understand you jok but the Fungi shown in the picture are BLEWITS they will have BLUE LEGS and they grow in RINGS they might look like CLUMPS but they are RINGS it is late for Mushrooms but i saw some growing this morning but they cannot survive the Frost and i usually start picking what you call COMMON MUSHROOMS in July. Another common Fungus that i pick to sell is THE SAINT GEORGES DAY MUSHROOM the appears towards the end of april and also grows in well defined RINGS

there are Wood Blewits and Field Blewits .........Field Blewits are by far the most common Field Mushrooms and Blewits always grow in rings , they have too , you may not see it or it might not be there but they grow in rings , it is because of the cap shape and spore drop [so i am told. I Know a lot of rings all over the county and one near Melton where i have picked well over a hundred weight several times. and once at a place called East Norton i was out ferreting one morning in a massive open field where their was once a hedge running through it it was very frosty but you

i don't think that fence will hold them

I saw this pair when i was out last weekend it was not fully light and there was a little mist about , it gave me a good old shock , i went back to/day to get some pictures before i opened my mouth [ take note big cat spotters ] and they were still there , the field i was in held a lot of bluelegs those in the picture will be a 30/40 lb ring by Saturday and there are plenty more there .

Well done on the Mink Eddie but i cannot make anything out of those pictures.

He ordered it , They should of all got the Chair , it was awful .

I always thought that the Fenn Fenn Jaws Struck too big an area on Rabbits , the Rounded Jaws would deliver more of a wollop and greater compression
-
He can only fence it then , for every one that is caught another will replace it , the house holder will have to approach the land owners to see if they can be killed at source

how much land is there and what is it like , Terrain ,Footpaths etc.

When i put these pictures up yesterday i wondered if anyone would notice that the trap was placed the wrong way round , the reason i did this was back in the 60/70s i went out a few times with three old lads who done nothing except Rabbit Trapping and Long Netting, they lived in Norfolk and they had massive areas to work on , they used mainly IMBRA and FENN traps ,the jaws on the FENN were rounded i think they may have been an early model and the IMBRA was of a type that i had not seen before. The first place i ever went was called Wolferton not far from Sandringham and it was a Railway

I can usually drive to where i am going but i have fell out with the fellah who has taken the grass keeping on this place he cannot stop me but he keeps the gate locked so i have to carry them up in a ruck sack, the same ruck sack that one of his f***ing lambs is going into next April. Back up the hill this morning it was 7am really nice out and the red sky was a picture there were seven traps still out and nothing in six of them , the last one held a rabbit and that was that and i never saw one rabbit running about, there are a few Rabbits here but not many and i think i

Get the first eight or nine inches in then wank the rest off , it sends a woman crazy.

Yes it is the same trap and you are right it has not moved at all , it had a rabbit in it but the only sign of it being there is the scrap of fur at the top of the Jaws, ihave had Rabbits taken from traps before and it takes a big animal to move one and they do leave a mess, Rats will eat them in a trap but i have never seen a trap that clean, one other thing is the marker pin that i put above every trap was flat on the ground , i think one off the sheep may have knocked it over but who knows.
