    Sorry..im more than happy with my catch rate i dont give money to anybody without good reason. I saw all the dvds for £15 a time on the net but there a scam..trail and error is the best way to learn...after all its a mole in a hole..its not going anywhere lol.
  4. Probuk
    I put them in tight so the claws are nowhere near the hole but more bedded into the walls of the runs's..it stops the mole moving the trap and setting it off to early.

    I think you are a bullshitter. You started off last week telling us that it was rubbish to insist on buying quality traps and that you had been catching moles for two years in cheap Chinese traps and it was all down to skill not the trap. Since then you've talked about nothing but using Fenn traps. Here we go, i was woundering how long it would take before an idiot would come along and start the mouthing off bit...dosnt take long does it...if youve got nothing better to contribute to a thread..goto the pub and mouth off down there. Hopefully someone will happily oblige you!!Yep i do use c

    Seems like a bad subjuct all round this moleing. I didnt mean to sound dictating.

    Fair comment moley but its not as much work as it may seem. All i ever herd when i was learning was moles tend to fill the barrel traps up with soil quit often, hence why i always stayed clear of using them. But all this has me thinking of giving them a blast. Thing is im that use to useing scissor/claw type traps. But il give the barrels ago..see how it pans out for me.

    When i get time il put a picture on of the bridge under the trigger.

    This is it, i set the Fenn traps without back filling them. Just set in realy tight and use grass to put around the trap but only to the spring. Then i just sprinkle soil around the top of the grass...almost 100% catch rate. The talpex or cheaper versions are pritty much 100% catch rate for me aswell. The hole needs to be no longer than the trap..you want it in tight. Once if got the hole ready, i build a bridge with soil that when i put in the trap in, the trigger will sit on top of it..when the mole comes into move the soil..it history. Marty

    Over the past few week's i've realised that most Registerd mole catcher's prefer to use the Barrel Trap..Is this somthing to do with the Code of Practice that you have to work by.? I've been reading up on different types of trap's, there good point's and bad point's, but for all the bad point of any one trap theres always a misstake in the way its being laid. There's more than one way of laying most trap's as i have come to realise after months and months of leaning to lay them and for them to work efectivley..weather its raining, frosty, or different soil types. The fact that scissor type

    Well done that Fat Skot, excellent shooting/snipping. Crows are the wearyest of all the corvid family and they will spot you half a mile away if you as much as move or they see somthing looking out of place. That could be somthing as simple as your watch showing out of your coat sleave or you packet of fags next to you, so you've done exceptionally well there skot with consealing yourself. Here a tip when useing decoys crows skot...get some old black soks cut the ends out and pull it over your decoys. Set your crow decoys out in pairs and remember to set them out facing the direction of the wi

    Don't have many magpies in this area but plenty crows. Caught many in the Larsen but I never kept the call bird more than a week. Oh and I never let the egg/ chick eating swine go either... Lol :laugh: Id kind of got attached to him after haveing him so long. He was an excellent call bird, and if i put another magpie in with it, it was dead in hour's. I just want him back in my trap and il be happy Marty. Do you have multiple birds in the same section mate.... If so, why?Why ask such a question.? The law states..you can only have one call bird at a time in any one trap. My traps co

    The answer to your question is yes. A Brief Guide to Larsen Trap Legislation In 1996 following concerns that Larsen traps where being used to catch protected birds the General Licence for Larsen traps was tightened. As a result the license allows the trap to be used for the control of: Crows, Magpies, Rooks, Jackdaws and Jays. Wood pigeons and Sparrows were removed from the legal decoy list. Further amendments were added on the 1st January 2000. There follows a general outline of the main points affecting operation in the field of corvid control. All Larsen trapping operations must be

    This time of years you may find it quite difficult to keep a call bird alive for more than a few day's, in some case's less, depending on the weather. They need to be kept dry, if they get wet hypothermia will kill them in just a few hours and even quicker during the cold night's. I managed to keep a call bird for the whole duration of last summer and when I was happy with the job he had done, I let him go. He still visitst my garden even this morning but he wont go in the trap. Magpies like crows are very intelligent and can sence danger as well as work it out.!! It makes sence to

    Magpies have a strong bill with a sharp cutting edge, which can be used for cutting flesh, digging up invertebrates, or picking fruit. Their main diet in summer is grassland invertebrates, such as beetles, flies, caterpillars, spiders, worms and leatherjackets. In winter, they eat more plant material, such as wild fruits, berries and grains, with household scraps and food scavenged from bird tables or chicken runs, petfoods etc. They will eat carrion at all times and catch small mammals and birds. Occasionally, magpies prey on larger animals such as young rabbits. During the breeding season
