This holder is made from the metal banding they use to hold bundles of steel/wood together and a 6" nail Place on a couple of sticks to stop trap freezing to ground in hard weather Place tunnel over trap. This is another way, replace rivet with bolt, And stick into ground, can also be pushed into bank or wall of hole etc. Dont forget to narrow entrance if danger of trapping non target species.

Just to show you a couple of ways too set, 1st one is a permanent set in a wooden tunnel. This one is to the right of bridge Todays catch, ferret. (Sorry to all you ferret lovers). Reset Cover it up with a few stones and leaves, and Robert is your fathers brother.

I use a pump, but I must admit I have to go for a lie down after I've filled the bugger from empty

Hi Louise, 110's are not legal for mink, they have to be 116 or 110 with double spring = 120

Ditch, you've hit the nail on the head, thats all it is a walltie. In the video Glen shows you how to make various holders, I will try to get some pics up, but I am without a camera for a day or two. Also Peg & Gun used to make some good stabilisers for use on solid ground, I'm certain there are some pictures of those on one of his posts on here somewhere.

Netter, spot on my friend, you can also drill a single hole through the centre and put a 6" rod/spike through, good for pushing into soft ground.

but the duck under stick may solve all the problems. set a few inches before the pan,and the mink has to do a limbo sort of move to get in ell i would think that would have them,good thought Heres what I use at my permanent set Fenn traps on my beat. It dos'nt show it that well, but there is a 2" square hole, Fenn is set level with bottom bar and anything going through has a hard job to get through without stepping on plate. Ok I know stoats and weasels don't have to duck but it always catches, but I will say that I do not use Fenn 6's for mink, only BG's.

Ditch, my photography is not that great, but the catches were good, the one in the 116 was a f***** big mink, the one in the 120 had not moved a cm from where it was caught. I think the catches are determined by sensitivity of the trigger and the speed in which the target is travelling, if bold and hungry it pushes hard through the trap and gets a classic neck, and in front of the haunch catch, if a bit hesitant you generally just get a neck/throat catch, which still does the job, especially the 120's. As for the mouse I think they jump/swing on the trigger, when it fires they literally get th

Good reason for not bringing back bowhunting? Methinks another inch and this guy would have met his maker

RSPCA centre near Nantwich, used to release on a Co Op owned farming estate because the Co Op banned hunting on their farms years ago. They used to ring the farm manager to check it was ok, "yes fine, by all means" and when he dropped the phone on them he radioed the keeper to tell him where and what time to be waiting for them.

aa s410, brilliant piece of kit.

Ditch, my missus says a cream, "buttermilk" or something, but NOT white.

Very sad, all the best Woodman.

Ditch put loose bait in bags, that you can purchase from Killgerm (page157) in cat., then use bag bait sealer, then trap top of bags in lid as you close, keeps slugs/snails off bait and also keeps bait dry and fresh untill needed.

I am Cornish born and bred, I grew up in West Cornwall and never saw a hare till I was 17 and that was when I'd left home to work in Devon. There were a few hares about in the odd place or two but it was'nt farming and silage cutting that did for the hare, because I can remember back before silage was ever thought about and everyone still made hay, and there was no hares then. I should think the main reason for the lack of hares in Cornwall was and probaly still is the number of foxes.

Great post, and a great day out from the looks of it.

Yep, look's good too me, if I was being super critical, you could shorten the length of your rubber collar a bit, by about a third from the looks of it.

3x9-50, but I believe they have just brought out a newer version, glass etched, illuminated reticle, rrp £169.

I know its neither of the above, but if your ranges are 100 yds or less, .22 Hornet is ideal.
