  1. Some more really useful tips there, wouldn't have thought to set them and see if they are sprung in the morning. As for the slippy when new, that's why I ordered a pack of spares! if they ain't tied and they ping, your never going to see that trigger again unless your in a 2'x2' room!I have "ahem", several traps here without triggers. Lol.
  2. I was particularly interested in the different ways we all go about things! I too use a spoon, but your retaining pins being sort of like a bent tent peg. Mine that I originally made for use with my traplines, and now my putanges, is for lack of a better description like a woman's hair pin but made of non tensile fencing wire and about three inches deep/long, so I just put one leg either side of the putange spring to hold it in place. Coming back to the spoon, I use it not only to clear and smooth the pipe (run/tunnel) I also use it as a gauge to check direction and depth to ensure the putang
  3. Hiya Clive, as promised you should have funds for another 20! Good marketing ploy, that video. Lol.
  4. Hay, you vewy funny man! Video very good too! If someone can't catch a mole after that they must be clueless. I'm reaching for the putange out of preference more and more, a real bonus is that to date I've not had a single mole in one that was caught inhumanley, no matter how good you are with barrels, it still sometimes happens. Only downside of this video, is it reminded I haven't been back in France since end of July.
  5. Already did about a week ago! Lol I'll send it again.
  6. I'm on tonight, but from the bedroom window! We had a bad Fox attack couple of nights ago, killed 15 fowl and four ducks, put all the dead down at my hundred yard killing areas pegged down. Plenty of moon tonight and no cloud, 56mm sidewinder turned down to 10x, foxy, meet Mr .308 loaded with hornandy tac,s. Hopefully the barsteward will pop in for a snack.
  7. Not had any go off yet, just finished the last bottle from the first mash which was done in February. I think as long as you check your final gravity it will be fine, the teaspoon of caster is literally only enough to give some carbonation. That said, I probably wouldn't use wine bottles, I use proper beer/cider bottles.
  8. Nah, look for the picture I put on years ago where I took the knuckle off my middle finger with a duffus one extremely cold January day! You would think I used a chainsaw.
  9. Hiya Clive, can you add an extra set of pliers to my order please? Cheers, Jamie.
  10. Very very naughty! I would read him the riot act for that, I've had people/customers mess with my sets in the past and it seriously made my piss boil. Just another good example of why you should never charge by the mole, they can't argue your bill when there's not a new hill to be seen.
  11. Lots oflike minded people shooting springers from the most basic bam to the most uber tuned top end rifles, trying everyone's rifles to see what you think. Under cover bench to shoot from, mobile catering, bring and buy/swap.Camping, caravans, bonfires,talking crap and drinking. Just an out and out good time.
  12. I said exactly the same for the first two years they held it, then one day thought Feck it, were here for a good time not a long time. Having had some pretty bad luck on the health front has made me 're think my priorities.
  13. Takes us two and a half hours from north Cornwall in the van! And to be honest it's seriously worth it for the fun, totally chillaxed weekend.
  14. I believe the official dates are 6-8th November, but Mick who's farm it is has a very laid back attitude, so several pay their £20 and stay a night or two either side of the official dates. Some cracking pubs close by on the side of the canals too.
  15. Just wondering if any one of here is going to the next boinger bash up at Nuneaton? Being as there's so many springer enthusiasts on here I thought it likely. Did my first one at the August meet, what a craic! Hundreds of targets, lots of piss taking, bonfires every night etc. Can't recommend it highly enough.
  16. Exactly! I put 25 on each ring, count them out, count them in, 25 out, break a twig in the hedge or bailer twine on the fence, eazy peezy.
  17. I'm not doing cider this year (probably), so I've started a few gallons of wine instead. At the mo, I have rhubarb, strawberry, and today pea pod. Plum next then beetroot and finally mead and parsnip.
  18. I bought my first 97 last week, out the box I'm so impressed, it's bloody awesome.
  19. That was mildly amusing that! Recipe sounds good too.
  20. And even after all that rigmerole you'll still find sachets of broadifacoum and jaguar blocks broadcast all over the yards by the farmers.
  21. So these are the star nosed moles your trying to catch?
  22. To be honest, I think £300 is very generous even for a mint example, usually more like £100-150. I've got one here at the mo, great bit of wood, rusty but perfect working order with all original parts, I'd be lucky to get fifty quid for it.
