  3. Fox Trap Advice

    in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control

    Posted

    Hi lads got a loan of a fox trap from a mate for as long as I need it running a large line of snares around my shoots at the moment but having a problem with 2 really lamp shy foxes on one of my shoot which I can't snare as well as I would like to due to public etc... What sort of advice do you have for setting up a fox trap, bait etc. Never used one before always just used snares, rifle or terrier for the foxes. Many thanks for any advice given.

  4. Stink Pit / Midden

    Thanks lads, sorry for the late reply I'm out lamping tonight. There is a public walk way through the middle of the ground and another one at the bottom of the ground along the river basically doubles back on its self. I've got snares along runs at the edge of fields where they can't be seen by the public but I've also got 6 acres of mixed wood and scrub that I was hoping to put a midden in as its hard to find runs in there and it's discreet enough away from prying eyes. Also the old story it's working when I'm not there.

    Hi There I'm looking for a bit of advice from you if you don't mind. I run a small shoot for me and a few mates, put down a few pheasants and partridge. The wood has a public walk way along the farm road ( the River Ayr walk ) I've got problems with some poachers just now using lurchers on the Foxes and Deer. As a result I've got a few lamp shy foxes going around I've got snares set on the usual places but wanted to erect a stink pit / midden in the wood. There is a badger set on the neighbouring farm but no signs of badgers on my ground never seen any in the lamp ether and no signs of them crossing through the fence also the snares are set at 10" high all legally tagged too with my number. I'm looking for advice on best ways to erect and use a stink pit / midden. Bait isn't a problem as I'm a poultry farmer. Is it basically a wire structure that an animal can't get hung up on or am I better using brashings. Many thanks for your help. Andrew.

  9. Mk4 Fenn Trap Help

    in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control

    Hi lads, bought a few more mk4 fenn traps from the local farm supply shop for around my shoot for grey squirrels and the odd rat going to my feed hoppers, they are genuine fenn traps. Been catching every day but one of the traps has missing the brass bit attached to the plate for setting the trap ( don't know the name of it ) is there any way to go about getting a replacement part or is the trap for the bin now ? Many thanks.

  20. Firearms Application

    Hi there I'm in Scotland and know that up here the land doesn't need to be signed off. Im applying for my firearms and renewing my shotgun which is due in 2015 so its coterminous. Its saying i need 2 references I've spoke to the guy who was my reference for my shotgun licence he said the feo told him he cant be a reference for anyone anymore since he's a reference for 30+ people. Same situation for my dads mate who i do all my fox shooting with. Can i get my best mates dad as a reference and my doctor ?? Would that be accepted i was hoping to have it all sorted out for the crops coming off to get shooting foxes. My local gun shop has 2x .22-250 and a very nice .22 which i am applying for so its just who you guys think i can have as references. Sorry for boring you with all that. Thanks for any help.
