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.

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. -
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 -
All I know is that when one of my dogs appeared to be having small fits but was still conscious, we took her to vets and was told that it was to do with her body not being able to cope with the protien levels in her food. We were at that time giving her 24% mid winter beating and working her socks off, so thought she needed something extra WRONG it was the Carbohydrates she needed rather than protien. Now running very nicely ta on 18% plus rabbits, venison bones, chicken wings etc etc Touch wood since we changed her diet, no more of the fitting behaviour. For those interested enough her con

Help wanted in starting up in pest control.
mole trapper replied to a topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
daft question..but is there more money in the bed-bugs and domestic work ?or is it it poss to make a decent living in rural work..would love to do rural.. does anyone on here actually make a living doing rural pest control etc etc... i would love to stop doing my present job ASAP. There are a few of us on here making a full time living out of rural and doing ok out of it, BUT and it is a big but, it takes years to get to that stage, in my case 9 years, the early years were very tight. And ditto what DS said, makes me cringe everytime i read " i have ferrets and a cur and some nets, am th -

Hell this problem is way bigger than i imagined, Moley, would i be right in guessing you charge by the body count if you count them as a loss aswell ?, only reason i ask is that there is a bloke local to me trying to get in on the act at the moment , he is going around all the farms telling the farmers he only charges £10 a mole, the farmers are laughing him off the place, he says that is cheap, they say not when J has been here and had 15-25 out of one field and i have x number of fields. All the best, and hope the new job going well. -

i CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVE NEVER YET FOUND ONE AFTER BROCK HAS TAKEN THEM, I ALWAYS JOKE WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT IF YOU OPENED UP A BADGER SET YOU WOULD FIND MOLE TRAPS ON THE MANTLE PIECE AS ORNAMENTS. oops sorry about the shouting, cant be arsed to retype. -

Seen that set up of yours before, good idea that. My old man is still farming over near Newcastle Emlyn, you want to get over that way, people ask him all the time if he will clear their moles, he is 74 now though so he is not intereseted. All the best, MT. -
Just wondering today whether this is just a west country thing or a national phenomana, I reckon at a rough guesstimate i lose between 15-20 duffus traps a year to badgers taking them with a mole in, when you go to a garden or a bit of rough pasture and you see the tell tell signs of a badger chasing a mole you know to add on for a minimum of one trap. These days i do not lose quite as many as i used to, because i try to find natural things to hand that will disguise the smell a bit, ie, fox or sheep shit, both generally available, especially the former because of their liking for curling one

Seeing as you are in Yorks, contact Killgerm in Osset i believe, they do foundation courses etc, failing that get in touch with the BPCA, expensive but considerd as the industry standard. -
'SHOOTING IN' A RIFLE BARREL
mole trapper replied to arcpest's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
All of my centrefires bar one have been put through the forest bore foam regime, they all shoot better than i ever will, however my 22-250 which did not get any barrel conditioning of any description just got shot any old how is nothing like as accurate/ consistent, still killed a lot of foxes at some respectable distances to almost point blank. @ 100 YDS on paper it will only do around one and a half inch. Any new rifles in the future will always be treated in the correct manner. -

Rolfe, when i lived up country used to see these in New Avon Arms in Bristol, failing that would almost guarantee that if you gave Rommel a shout down at Helston Gunsmiths he would have a couple knocking around. RegardsMT. -
