    rabbit numbers been poor local to me for years, im out trapping moles and never hardly see a rabbit, bits we ferreted as kids in the 70's are barren and have been so for a few years.

    i knew a fella in the 80's put his border dog on a whippet, fella rated the pups highly. They got plenty of work. I never saw them myself.

    did a few more flatpack trigger loops, this time i made some stainless rings and soldered them on, stops them going through the loops

    My flatpacks are about 4 yrs old, still like new being stainless, I have other cheaper duffus that are rusted to hell after the same time. Flatpack are well worth the extra money to me. Had a few going through the triggers, closed them up a bit and pushed them forward but not 100% successful, I then put the stainless washers on one to try, I thought the weight might spook the mole, but it works brilliantly, I believe the weight actually helps, you can get them set very kittle, and something important to me the moles are caught around the ribs so as humane as possible. I have about 150 flatpack

    I like flatpack, I tried a tweak on a one a few months ago, tacking a stainless steel washer on, what a difference to catch rate, I am doing all my flatpacks now, can’t fail with them. Since I can’t use a welder no more I silver solder them on now.

    All you need do is pick up a mesh when putting first clove hitch on then cut back surplus running line and melt end with a lighter?
  12. lifelong cumbrian
    Just tried that with a wide grommet, put on one clove hitch then other on top. I always secure my end pole running lines with a nail knot to lock it in, just do same with this, will go nowhere, wide grommet and 3mm running line. Excellent idea that tomo, everyday is a school day??
  13. lifelong cumbrian
    Yes thinking about that Tomo you could easily change one section of running line by just putting 2 grommets on each pole (top or bottom line). If you used a wide grommet you could probable get 2 glove hitch knots in the same grommet.

    Hello folks, had a couple of bad weeks with my heart condition, ended up having to have a pacemaker fitted. Feeling great now but it’s feck my life up a bit as well, can’t weld no more, done it for 42yrs for my job so don’t know what will happen there. Just trying to find out if my pard008lrf will affect me, more so by the range finding facility, so many things I need to find out but it is hard to believe if websites tell truths or lies, you can get opposite answers for the same question, had to choice but have the pacemaker, it was either that or cemetery.

    Just about size mainly, I want one for moles mainly, if 250 big enough I might go for that. Thank you

    The litter i bred in the early 80's was out of that dog and bitch, red lakeland bitch had a bit of Gary Middleton stuff in.
