    Hi stephen 58, It would be fair to say my traps see a bit of use and abuse, this week more abuse, one of the school fields i was trapping got mowed with some serious machinery, even the genuine article can not withstand this, so the school got a bigger bill than quoted. Buy my traps direct from the manafacturer, they come in boxes of 50 and multiples there of, they will not sell you less than a box at a time. Generally buy a couple of boxes a year around this time when it starts to get really manic and the cash flow situation looks a bit healthier.

    Glenn obviously never sleeps, he is unstopable, thank goodness.

    Jasper NO NO NO, Put your marigolds away, i ment the thin disposable type, not the ones you keep for special occasions.

    Came home in a hurry this morning with two fallow does in the back of the truck, already an hour late for the first mole job of the day, the bed of the truck was literally running with rapidly congeeling blood, FPO to the rescue swilling, mopping and generally making the truck respectable for me to go to work, while she was doing this sausages were on the aga cooking and the coffee was brewing, (women are able to multi task), i was getting the two does hung up, within half an hour i was fed watered and fit to go. NUFF SAID.

    Erm, dont want to p anyone off here but i decided to give flatpacks a go as they were cheaper than the genuine article, well made as already mentioned BUT they rust like feck, i have some Duffus over five years old not a speck of rust on them, Flatpacks are not quite a year old and some will be binned over the next month or so.

    OH YES, FPO found this one out one day all by accident, Rubber gloves, just rub the birds and off it comes.

    Know what you mean Ditchy, for me down here though it is snails not slugs. Because of them i have stopped using blocks outsise as they take a real shine to them. No matter what make of boxes i have tried they all get the same problem, to be honest now all i use for my contract work is sidekicks that i get from Barretine, they are cheap funtional and dont break my heart when someone chucks them or whatever.

    Magwitch, got 5 more than you. , was very quiet and there arent to many left on that paticular job now. Richie, depends on a few things, also got to remember that i have it on my .22 rimmy and the laser is set at around 65-75 yds, most people have this unit on a centrefire and apparently are able to shoot foxes out to 200 yds. With the mag set on 5X on my scope i can clearly make out rabbits not just their eyes to about 90 ish yds. Regards MT.

    Ian and Richie, it is a Starlight Archer, not a bad bit of kit but does take a bit of getting used to and a hell of a lot of setting up in the first place.

    Foxdropper you certainly know how to start your day, bugger two weetabix when you can have two roe does.

    Best thing you can do is put in search for Glenn waters, or snareman, he has put on some very useful stuff on this very subject.

    Better still, learn how to trap them properly, the market is growing rapidly since the demise of the filthy strychnine, gas is nothing like as consistent as traps, there are several of us on here who make a good living doing just this. Good honest money for good honest work.

    Me thinks you had better check that freezer of yours, there must be a huge hole in the bottom of it, the amount of rabbits you have been knocking over the thing should be bursting at the seams.

    Thanks Magwitch, did not think i was ever going to get it sorted, but it is starting to earn for me now, going out with it tonight up near Plymouth on a Caravan park job, Trouble is it is SOOOOOOOOO quiet tonight. :secret:

    Finally managed to download pictures of my NV scope as requested by several people. This handfull of rabitts were taken on a mopping up exercise where I am just finishing a job. Every tom dick and harry has been lamping these rabitts spooked aint the word for it. This is where this gear is going to earn its keep!

    That is the same colour as gorse petals, but i think it looks more like a fungi you have there. The rabbits FPO was talking about earlier were all caught on a very barren coastline where there was very little food so the rabbits were stripping the bark off the prickly gorse, they were obviously doing well on it as they were laying down good amounts of fat, but it was bright yellow through to very orange, i am about to start on those very same rabbits this coming week so it will be interesting to see if they still look the same, have not been to this farm for two years.
  17. mole trapper
    Very good, tell us more, were they against rabbit fencing etc, anymore piccys of the set up etc. Regards MT.

    Mole catcher, he can tell you exactly what to do, he is truly the most helpfull chap in this field.
  19. mole trapper
    Cant believe no one has bought this yet, i was very interested but to far away.
  20. mole trapper
    Neither, go for a Steyr pro hunter, stainless and synthetic, i just happen to have one for sale, literally only had fifteen rounds through it, barrel conditioned, bargain.

    Sorry if you have answered this one before, but WHY did you wear them for 9 months, a bet, walk for africa, WHY,???????
  22. mole trapper
    Oh FFS,
  23. mole trapper
    Oh to be 17 again, like they say," to be old and wise you must first be young and stupid". Read the feckin post, he said ferrets living wild, secondly there are plenty of feral ferrets living wild in wales, and thirdly sometimes you do get certain litters of out crosses that do seem unwilling to become truly tame, no matter how well fed, handled etc.

    Mine is a basic Ruger with a zeiss 8x56 with a T8, never really measured on paper, other than to zero, it was within an inch at 100 yds, all my shots are taken standing off sticks, best so far was a 210 yrd nut shot, the only problem is the barrel gets hot real quick.

    My favourite foxing round, devastating with 55grn winchester balistic tips.
