  1. Send it to a taxidermist and split the profit from the sale. Most only charge around £100, and you will get £300 plus if it is done right.
  2. How about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra
  3. Under a road bridge there would still be enough space for non targets to activate the trap, likewise it would depend on the size of the culvert, but I would think the same would apply. To me, you have to picture the target species and what they would likely be caught in when setting a trap, either by size or particular location, and what would prevent non targets from getting into. As for underwater, sounds a bit fishy to me.
  4. Private land, garden set in a couple of acres. Air rifle only. PM me for details if interested.
  5. He is a legend in that video. Surprised he never got nicked for that tasch!
  6. Okay, on this huge amount of information I can say nothing.
  7. I am going to get my first shotgun, will be using it for foxes and crows etc. Need one that will take a silencer. Any suggestions and any places where I can go and buy it? I am in West Sussex.
  8. AndrewEdwardDennis Self locking snares are illegal. danw lol, I meant a .22 rifle with rimfire ammo.
  9. Maybe it depends on the situation? If you are hunting in a very rural location then you probably are doing it from range, urban control is close up, you don't need, indeed you can't have too much power.
  10. I do pest control for a living, take a look at my website, link is below. I know a couple of guys in London who use Rim Fire .305 rifles to take foxes in urban gardens. Likewise, small bore shotguns can be used discreetly. Where a firearm can't be used then trap and take it away to be dispatched. All perfectly legal. The key is that the animal does not suffer and that the dispatch doesn't break the law, i.e. the conditions contained within the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 which stipulates how pests and vermin may be controlled. You can't poison a fox, or gas them. Legal me
  11. If a fox is shot dead with a single shot to the head with an air rifle there is no offence as the animal did not suffer. But remember, some organisations or people will try to cause trouble no matter what. Just do it discreetly. Think about what you are going to do with the carcass. Locally to me there is a facility to dispose of them, plus dispatch if needed. Have a look around for something that can do the job. As for humane, it's considered humane to put a squirrel in a hessian sack and club it to death for crying out loud! I have never done it, and always make sure any dispatch is
  12. So, do you just cut a bit out of the top of the tunnel and slot the trap in? Do you backfill behind it? Details please
  13. Bethel Rhodes are cheaper I think @t £2.75 each plus VAT. Flat Pack do 10 @ £39.10 inc VAT. Delivery charges for both though.
  14. Blimey, they are expensive on that site mate!! Try https://www.theflatpack.co.uk/merchantmanager/index.php
  15. Very early morning, or very late evening is mostly when they poke their heads above ground...
  16. Ian lent some Talpex traps, will see how I get on with them. If it catches the little bugger will buy lots!!!!!!!!!!
  17. Look at the Protrapper website for snares and such. If it were me I would shoot the buggers.
  18. Duffus barrel traps. Modified to be more sensitive, clean (or dirty!), in deep runs, connector runs, surface runs, you name it! This mole is a tricky little bugger!!!!
  19. Well, even after watching that fourteenacre dvd and washing my traps and doing everything right, I put some more traps down on Friday, went back this morning, 3 new hills!
