    I am expecting a couple of calls, farmer I do moles for had been helping 2 others mowing grass, said there was loads of heaps in amongst it. He gave them my number and a good review, said they were going to ring me.

    Where did you get the twine for the catch loop mate, thank you.

    This is a double one, just made the one to try, put it in the other day and caught a single mole, the other side never went off so will catch double, I will be just making a few double catch and a lot of single catch. Made a few single catch already and catch well with them.

    Cracking traps they are, I made aluminium version of the plastic Bob made, I have tinkered about and made a couple of changes, also made a double catch version, honestly these traps are difficult not to catch with, only failed once and I think a sheep sprung it because it wasn’t back filled. Currently I am playing about making different length ones as I want them catching around the ribs. Nice to catch on something you put together yourself ?

    depends what type of land and quarry you are intending to work, a beddy/greyhound us always a decent all round type if off decent gear.

    aye i will be pleased to see it sorted to your standard Jimmy. I was given it a few years back, it was seazed up, i got new spring and other bits and got it working, not to your standard though. I havent been using it so i thought if you would have liked to have a go at it then gift it to a new starter that would be great for me, i am not the type of fella to sell on something i was given, i believe in being right by folk and am totaly happy for it to land in the hands of a newbie to the game. thank you Jimmy for taking it on and i look forward to seeing the results.

    It is hard work buying or selling a air rifle now since all the sites stopped selling.

    I just do farms and the odd garden, when I retire I will advertise and maybe pick up a few garden and hotel type jobs, be a lot easier than carrying stuff around fields, I am on foot, I need to get sorted with a jimny or quad or possibly both, I would have a Land Rover but most will have been hammered with the price bracket I’m in, saying that Jimny are great but very overpriced

    one to watch for me, nice size build. everything looks great

    as soon as possible i let the pup watch me handling the ferret, once you have confidence it isnt going to lunge at it, put the pup on a lead and set the ferret on the ground, let the pup watch it moving around. I like to have a kit available as well to introduce the pup to along with a older ferret, it gets the kit used to the dog at the same time. obviously when learning the dog with a older ferret you want a ferret that is is dog proof, not one that is likely to nip the dog as that will only knock things right back. Just my own personal thing but i like to get a pup out solo with the ferrets

    I think when you get older you start to appreciate your hunting fishing etc more and personally I don’t clash myself as I used to years back, I like to make all my own gear for all sorts of hobbies as I have always done, numbers arnt the big thing for me now, firstly the rabbits and fish are not here in the numbers no more, I take everything at a much slower pace nowadays, I had a heart attack 8 yrs ago yesterday and also get angina, I like to do my hobbies myself mainly, I can go when I want and come home when I want, nothing like being out with a ferret and my collie netting a few rabbits or

    I started a mole trapping business off self employed last summer after a few years learning the job, I also work full time as a sheetmetal worker/ welder for the same company for 42yrs. I am going to do more mole jobs when I take early retirement in 2 years, I have picked up a fair few farms for the moles and am kept busy at nights and weekends, I don’t advertise at present just getting jobs word of mouth. Be a nice little top up for my pension and I will be under no pressure at all to make money, no way would I try and do moles full time as a job, to many things can hinder you like weather an
