    Tried a couple of sorts through the crony this afternoon, Bisley Magnums were running at 29 ft/lbs, AA Fields were runing at 24 ft/lbs, wanted to try the Eley Mags but although they fit the magazine they dont go into the barrel. Obviously power means nothing without accuracy so will try the other sorts i have for energy output and then when i have a day that is still, and i am not snowed under with work i will test them all at varying ranges on targets for grouping and down range accuracy, not forgetting trajectory between 20-60 yds. Dont hold your breath, as getting time for a day off and

    As an aside, what's the record time for a NEWBIE becoming an EXTREME HUNTER through posting a number of irrelevent posts? Blimey see what you meen, he,s only been on here 22 days and already up on 247 posts, looks like someone needs a girlfriend or a life. Seen this before, you say the sky is blue, they come back with it is pink just to get their numbers up.

    Bloody hell, you did well there, they put the price up every year for that tin pot affair, they charge almost that for one ticket. We dont go anymore as we felt they take the piss on their entry fee because people are wanting to get back out after the winter lay up. You could accept the price if there were things laid on like at the CLA/ Midland, but there isnt bugger all other than a few stands. Enjoy.

    Mate of mine who,s wood i stalk in asked me to pop over and get rid of a mole that was heaving in his orchard, while we were chatting it started heaving soil and i half heartedly stamped my heel into the hill, poor bugger was only about three inches down and i had him. It went some way towards redeeming myself for accidently letting a squirrel go out of one of the live catch traps he had set.

    LL, i am glad you are happy with your pup, i hope you have many adventures and many happy years together, what ever the cross is. Regards MT.

    Must be using a bore laser jobby, or bore sighting, on a good day i can get within a inch and a half with the latter, but would never fork out the kind of money they want for the former.

    Worlds No 1 mole catcher, bar none. Good at making money and even better at spending it, Excel with a rifle, but not so good with a scattergun, Very Very good at turning expensive fermented water into a bi product.

    Some wise words there from Rolfe, the only thing i would add is make sure you allow for extra time, as for him being a poor farmer with 400 acres of dairy, i dont think so, especially now they are finally getting a fair price per litre at long last. Just remember to remind him that if he is making grass silage it is worth around £30 a tonne to him and it only takes one good mole hill to ruin that amount, false economy not to get the moles sorted before harrowing and rolling. Then you also have the fact that listeria will kill a good high yeilding cow quick as you like if not caught in time, d

    Would not worry about it too much mate, it is a job that has to be done, probably a bit much of an emotive subject for a forum like this though. And the other thing that springs to mind is people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones, especially if they have put up a few posts that were how shall we say, erring on the rediculous. Regards MT.

    places to shoot, im into rabbit shooting, pigeon shooting, pheseant shooting, rat shooting, starling shooting, and squirell shooting, Dont want to be funny, but you dont shoot Starlings anymore it is illegal, they were taken off the general open licence about two years ago. Regards MT. PS, just out of curiosity, what on earth made you make a move like that. All the best with your search for ground.
  14. mole trapper
    Stubby, never ceases to amaze me how fast the stinkers can move when they want to, had many a good course through the undergrowth pursuing an errant ferret hell bent on making it to the next county. How you getting on with the squirrel job, making inroads yet. Regards MT.

    Woodga you the man, putting up some brilliant interesting threads again with great pictures, so refreshing to see, so much better than the mindless drivvle this great forum seems to be suffering from at the moment. All the best to you mate, MT.

    Thanks Magwitch, i am well and truly on the mend now, have been out and about on the moles, even been up your neck of the woods last Thursday, coming up again tomorrow, but not as far across, Polesden lacey and Sheffield park. Vader, my Archer cost £1700 for the C grade it is fairly good once they finally got it sorted, need to speak to them again though as it keeps going dim, change all the batteries etc, give it a shut off for a while and it is still the same, makes me mad as hell. You go out a couple of nights later and it is fine and stays working.

    Got to be said stupid feckin questions like this about illegal activities will do none of us any good, this is a forum open to anyone and is scrutinised for shite just such as this to be used against us.
  19. mole trapper
    Nice job Magwitch, what is the music ?, sounds a bit clanad,ish. Hoping to get out this week with Dytkos, weather is not to promising by all accounts though.

    Ditchy, Trappa is not quite correct, the traditional mole trappers register IS £75 to join, but it has nothing to do with selling pelts, i have not joined, but they occasionaly still e mail me with jobs that come in through their web site, these are generally anywhere in devon or cornwall. Admitadly for the most part the leads have been a bit of a waste of time, the people are just looking for someone local to give them advice, one of the jobs was a goer, but she was already one of mine but had lost my card. The chap who owns it is a nice fella who is ok on a money making idea, but he is bea

    Chalky i am a little worried about the gimpy rubber gauntlets mate, had you just come off the night shift. Never ceases to amaze me, the amount of times trapping a nice quiet garden or whatever, you decide it is time to drain the vein and sure as eggs is eggs someone turns up, then it is the clamp of death while you try to wind it back in and look nochelant. I think the wet streak down the trouser leg can be a bit of a give away though.

    YAWN, this isnt a Hancock thread, just goes to show the mentality of some people, pick up on one word in a thread about mole catching for a living and feel they need to jump in and gob off about someones dogs they know nothing about. Theres only one word for it, SAD. Geta life pal.
  24. mole trapper
    Cheeky monkey, Here you live close enough to my old man why arent you getting in on this mole trapping problem, there does not appear to be anyone covering it, get in there.

    Left twenty years ago after giving up milking the old mans cows for him for fifteen quid a week, 7 days a week, he insisted he was doing me a favour. We get on a lot better now i am 5 hours away. Set up down here and now my only way out is to do the same as Moley, i am not quite ready for that yet unless a londoner with money burning a hole in their pocket wants to make me an offer i cant refuse. My old man is always trying to get us to move back over, but it is pretty unlikely. My dogs go everywhere with me, stupid as the Hancock haters may find it they have created so much extra revenue f
