    WELL MATE , I WILL GIVE YOU A TIP ............... FEED THE BIRDS ............IN THE MORNING , GIVE THEM TEN MINUTES TO EAT ALL THEY WANT THEN LIFT THE FOOD , DO THE SAME IN THE EVENING THERES NO NEED TO LEAVE FEED DOWN FOR BIRDS ALL DAY ........... YOU GET PICKY EATERS THAT WAY , AND WILL END UP FEEDING MORE VERMIN THAN POULTRY . AFTER A WHILE YOU WILL WORK OUT WHAT THEY WANT TO EAT AND CAN PUT A MEASURE CUP FULL INTO THE FEEDER , == NO WASTE ................. SLUGS ETC CAN OFTEN CARRY PARASITES SO WORM REGULARLY DUCKWING

A GOOD FRIEND TRIED TO STOP THIS BY PAINTING THE INSIDES , DIDNT WORK TO ANY GREAT DEGREE , HE DRILLED WEEP HOLES IN THE BOTTOM YET STILL THE BEDDING MATTED TOGETHER WITH THE WET ........ , PLUS THEY WERENT THE EASIEST THINGS TO CLEAN ......

I DONT THINK YOU CAN BEAT GOOD QUALITY 3/4 " INCH PLY ............ MY

    ALL GOOD TIPS ONE THING I WOULD ADD IS TO ADD WEIGHT TO THE TOP OF STACKED LUMBER ..... 5 GALLON DRUM FULL OF WATER DO THE JOB NICELY WAX ADDED THE ENDS SHOULD HAVE A BIT OF PARRAFIN OIL ADDED AS IT MAKES THE WAX LESS LIKELY TO CRACK UNDER THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRYING PROCESS ......... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING

    TOTALLY AGREE MOLEY , IVE USED BOTH THE TRACE WIRE AND STAINLESS STEEL .......... I PREFER THE STAINLESS STEEL AS IT TAKES A NICE LOADING ........ IMPORTANT FEATURE IN SNARING SQUIRRELS ROLFE .......... YOUR WIRES DONT SEEM TO BE LOADED ........... ? HERES A COUPLE OF OLD PHOTOS OF A FEW OF THE SETUPS I USE ........................ ALL SNARES LOADED WITH SWIVELS AND QUICK CLIPS .............. ALL THE BEST DUCKWING

  13. DUCKWING
    KEEP AT THEM FELLAS , I FOR ONE WOULD HATE NOT TO SEE A MAGPIE OR TWO ABOUT .......... HOWEVER LIKE ANYTHING WHAT WE DO IS ABOUT CONTROL NOT EXTINCTION ............. A WHILE AGO I HAD 37 IN A WEEK FROM ONE TRAP ! ............. NOW CONSIDERING THAT THERES ANOTHER 4 MEN WITHIN 2 MILES OF ME THAT HAVE LARSONS RUNNING YOU CAN IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF THE BLACK AND WHITE BUGGARS THERES ABOUT ! THIS YEAR IVE HAD A LOT OF CARRIONS , COMING TO THE MAGGIE CALL BIRD ......... WITHOUT A DOUBT ......... SINCE I STARTED YRS AGO PUTTING UP NEST BOXES AND TRAPPING CORVIDS ..... THERES

  17. DUCKWING
    WELL ROLFE , THERES NOT JUST YOU AWAITING SUCH A BOOK ............... I SEEM TO REMEMBER OLD DITCHSHITTER TEMPTING US WITH SUCH AN OFFER ONLY TO DISAPPEAR BOOK MANUSCRIPT IN HAND ANOTHER COUPLE OF POINTS ABOUT THE FENNS ............. PERSONALLY I THINK A MAJOR DRAWBACK OF THE TRAP IS ITS TENDENCY TO THROW THE CATCH AWAY FROM ITS SELF ........... AND ....... SOMETHING IVE NOTICE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS .......... THE KILLING BARS DONT SEEM AS ROBUST AS THE EARLIER FENNS ...... ACTUALLY BENDING ON A CATCH ........ OTC ............. HAS THE FENN COMPAN
  18. DUCKWING
    GREAT POST CHALKIE , AND ... THAT LOOKS TO BE A LOVERLY OLD FENN RABBIT TRAP ? MY THOUGHTS FOR A TRAP WERE MORE AN UPSIDE DOWN TALPEX ... BUT WITH THE SCISSORS JOINED BY KILL BARS NOW YOU FELLAS HAVE SET ME OFF ........ PASS THE PENCILS AND PAPER .......... IT COULD BE A LATE NIGHT ALL THE BEST DUCKWING
  19. DUCKWING
    THING IS MOLEY ............ A MAN OF YOUR TALENTS WOULD FIND MOLE JOBS ETC TO DO IN THE SUMMER ...... AS WE ALL KNOW ...... IT WOULDNT MEAN TIME OFF WORK ........ JUST A DIFFERING TYPE FOR ALL THE PESTIES CHALKIE HAS AS USUAL HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ....... IN WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET ACROSS ......... AND SO HE SHOULD , AFTER ALL HE IS A VERY GOOD PROFESSIONAL WRITER !! IAM NOT IN PEST CONTROL AS A BUSINESS ........ SO CAN TAKE TIME OFF DURING THE BREEDING SEASON ....... AND AS IVE SAID ..... ITS SOMETHING THATS NEVER SAT RIGHT WITH ME KILLING YOUNG AN

    MICKY , I CAN SEE YOUR POINT ...... WITH THE FENNS ........ BUT IMO ..... THE SPRINGS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH , ESPECIALLY ON MINK ,........ SOMETHING I WAS PRE - WARNED ABOUT FROM BOTH P&G AND SNAREMAN ....... AND THROUGH EXPERIENCE FOUND TO BE TRUE A FEW YRS AGO ...... I CAUGHT A LARGE SILVER HOB FERRET IN A MK6 .......... HE WAS CAUGHT WELL ....... YET UNHARMED .......... I WENT ON TO WORK THIS FERRET FOR ANOTHER 4 SEASONS ......... THIS HOB WAS COMPARIBLE TO THE LARGE MINK IN MY AREA ......... NOW THIS TRAP THAT HELD THE HOB FERRET WASNT AN OLD WORN TRAP BY
  21. DUCKWING
    WELL IAN , IVE NEVER HAD MUCH PROBLEM WITH FOUL CATCHES IN THE MK6............... I FIND THE TUNNEL WITH A FENN CAN BE AS IMPORTANT AS THE TRAP ................... THOUGH I DO AGREE TO A CERTAIN EXTENT WITH P&G ............ LARGER TRAPS THAT ARENT FUNNELING THE QUARRY INTO THE SWEET SPOT ARENT AS EFFECTIVE KILLERS ....... I THINK IN THE UK ..... WITHOUT THE FENN ..........AT THE MOMENT WE WOULD BE VERY LIMITED AS TO SET PLACEMENT ....... PERSONALLY I THINK THE FENN COULD BE IMPROVED WITH ................... STRONGER SPRINGS WHICH ARE REPLACEABLE , ....

    Don't get me on the rocket science bit again .....If someone can be taught the essentials in a day or two by someone with a lifetimes practical experience like pegandgun and go out and catch rabbits after, then its not rocket science.... its passing on knowledge, and that person either has the skill to become good or he's cack handed and never going to grasp it, its people learning from others experiences and failures, as you say that would take them years maybe unguided, without a good teacher.....saying that I'd give my left nad if someone could teach me the raw basics of rocket science in a
  23. DUCKWING
    WELL .......... SOMETHINGS SADLY WRONG .......... IAM FINDING MYSELF AGREEING WITH SOME OF THE POINTS OF JKs POST................... PERSONALLY IVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FENN ON SQUIRRELS ....... THOUGH THEY TEND TO BE UNDER POWERD FOR " LARGE " MINK .,...... AND ........ EVEN WITH BODYGRIPPERS SET CLOSE TO WATER I STILL USE A WIRE ......... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING
  24. DUCKWING
    YER RIGHT IAN THERES A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEST CONTROL AND SPORT ................... HOWEVER IN MY OPINION .............. IF A PEST CONTROLLER CANNOT CONTROL THE RABBITS ETC IN THE WINTER ...... THEN THEY EITHER HAVE TOO MUCH LAND TO CONTROL EFFECTIVELY OR ARE POOR AT THE JOB ................ AND AS IVE TOLD GLENN MANY TIMES .................... IT DOESNT MATTER TO ME WHO THE FECKIN HELLS DOING THE SUMMER CONTROLLING ....... I STILL DONT AGREE WITH IT !!! FOR THE REASONS ABOVE ................... PERSONALLY I HOPE THE POWERS ....... INSTEAD
  25. DUCKWING
    CHALKIE , SOME FOOLS THINK THERES A NEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF RABBITS ETC ............. WE BOTH KNOW THERE ISNT !!! IAM AN OFTEN VISITOR TO THE DALES AREAS ........ THIS WINTER HAS DECIMATED LARGE AREAS IT WILL ONLY TAKE A BAD OUTBREAK OF MYXI AND THE PLACE WILL TAKE YRS TO GET BACK TO NORMAL ...... THEN , A FEW DAYS AGO ........... I SAW SOME KIDS OUT FERRETING ............... FECKIN...... IDJEETS !! DID I TELL THEM WHAT THOUGHT OF THEM ? ................... YOU COULD SAY THAT .... I OFTEN SHAKE MY HEAD IN WONDER AT THE PRATTS OUT HUNTING IN THE
