  1. yeah, that would be a really itellegent thing to do would'ent it no, its white (now painted black) twin wall boiler pipe, and you not the only one to mistake it for plastic
  2. where abouts do you get yours from stubby you should know, those stables/dog kennels must be right on your doorstep, right opposite the new secondary school,
  3. my missus always joking that I could live in my shed.... come those cold days, if Im not out ferreting, Im warm in me shed
  4. give it time mate, there will be loads up for sale
  5. rather than coming on as a new member, and saying, I have permission, butwant more with rabbits, why not offer members days out on your already existing permission, not ferreting, but shooting prehaps, Im sure farms with less rabbits will still have woodies, maggies, or ratting etc, then you'd not only be showing yourself in good sport, but you'd then probably, not given perrmission, but invited out to others
  6. are the bottoms meshed john, for drainage, or solid
  7. good pictures, just turn them around before posting next time, saves us all getting a crick in the neck

    Wormers

    nor I said the fly
  11. affraid not, the mk1 box will pick up mk3 collars, but not the other way around, if you cant get a mk1, Im sure you'd get a good price off e bay for the collars, enough to buy yourself a mk3 and collars
  12. I suppose the moral of this will be, approach the college and describe the problem, and try and get it turned into a "payed job" rather than freebie, but am going try snaring first
  13. I think I'll start buying shares in "peanut butter" checked the traps this morning, two double catches, think this may have been the whole family
  14. yes Ian, a few of the holes are this side of the fence, but the majority are on theother side, rolfe, the trouble Ive got, is I cant leave anything on show, as its a college, I had thought of leaving the 5 smaller cages in situ, along the fenceline, chained as suggested, but I reckon they will be "found" within a few days, and either pinched or trampled, and as this is a "freebie" I dont want to be loosing money on it, therefore snaring does seem the best option at the moment, as these could be placed and lifted over a weekend evenings, when less people/kids are there hound, its amazin
  15. stinks in our garage, have search it top to bottom, can only think they are nesting under the concrete slab,
  16. quote;i wouldn't if they cant be stolen you can bet they would stand on them or something just as stupid your right there mate, we had fifty set along an embankment for london underground, caught a hundred or so rabbits, before the anti's found them, climbed the fence and either chucked them on the lines, or stamped on them, the office got back about 10 out of the 50, and I relocated 5 to my shed richie has offered to come over one weekend and give it a go, so we'll keep you posted
  17. definately to big, 3/4 x3/4 is best, or there abouts
  18. they are good, because I get them for nowt out ofthe warehouse, the day guys tend to use them most, us night guys normally only carry poison, its all to do with what you can or cant use on the underground, robust,yes, not had one break yet, caught another one tonight
  19. thanks for the advice on cage trapping, although have done it before with huge success, the trouble here, is not wanting to leave the traps in situ, went over there again at dusk and baited up eight traps, sat in the motor for a couple of hours, walking back, there were shite loads out feeding, but none in or near the traps, I could now go either two ways, meet with the groundsman and try to get snaring or shooting (air rifle) permission, Id prefer the snaring option, but of course have not got the experience to see a "run" are there any snare men in essex, that fancy giving me a few
  20. christ joe, the old man finally gave in then any help you need, just give us a shout, maybe out next saturday, ferreting and a little ratting, if richie comes, your welcome to come too
  21. well, best laid plans just spent a couple of hours sitting some 50yds from the area, 10 traps set with carrots, rabbits out feeding on grass in all the areas inbetween they are coming out only a few feet onto the grass, presumable they come further out under the cover of darkness, by the ammount of scrapings on the field, anyway, none caught, lifted the traps, leaving the carrot chippings, am wondering if its a case of them being wearey of the traps, or that they have not seen carrot before, would pre baiting help as you say Ian, there probably are runs, but me not having an experi
  22. Id say all of my different permissions, are free of charge stuff, so of course you tend to visit those that you feel will be more productive, most are around an hours drive away, apart from one, I wasgiven it last year, a local college 2 minutes away, that had problems with rabbit scrapings on the football fields, after a reccy of the place last year, it was obvious that most of the holes were on the opposite side of the boundary fence, 6ft high and spiked, with two different landowners boundering the college, both didnt want me on their side of the fence, so it got forgotton about as a worthw
  23. can you see mice in them think that answers the question
  24. if you could afford it, would you rather buy a brand new car, with warrenty, or a secondhand rust bucket with no chance of repair thats my opinion, the mk1 was and is a good unit, but getting hold of a good non used unit, is like finding rocking horse poo, much better to get a mk3 that you will have a warrenty on, click the link at the bottom of my reply, to watch debens u tube clips on how to use the mk3 correctly, you wont be dissapointed
