The reason I ask is I'm a slaughter man, and have been saving these with the intention of having a go however have come to my senses and realised I don't have the time or equipment necessary to make a decent job. So I've got these (and some more somewhere :s) I'm planning on selling on, testing the water for value and interest.

Hi folks. How much should I be looking to pay for something like this for stick making? Already hollow and clean? Thanks in advance

It would be the same abarrett....we were in the same truck lol
Same here . Half a dozen of us went in the February a few years backThe last time I went to luck yard farm there was 2 feet of snow and we had to carry all our bags and stuff up the hill to the farm! It was an experience that's for sure!
Snow that deep even the 4x4s wouldn't get up the drive.
We have been a few times it's a good laugh shoot some clays put some targets up there's even trout in the pools
But there is not a rabbit,pigeon,squirral or fox for about 30 mile of the place

"In England & Wales using a firearm near a highway is not prohibited but it is an offence without lawful authority or reasonable excuse to discharge any firearm within fifty feet of the centre of a highway/carriageway IF in consequence a user of the carriageway is injured, interrupted or endangered" - so basically you can but your in trouble if something goes wrong.... Because that's not the case with everything in life...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Think I may have to invest in a handful purely for the traps that are getting blocked time after time. I've tried everything else. Setting them heavy, setting them light, tweaking them but it's the same moles every time

Been having a lot of issues lately on a farm with moles filling my traps. I'm running around 100 duffus and have never had a problem before. The soil here is very sandy and pebbly and it's only a few moles doing it. Are the Talpex as good as I've heard for these trap blocking buggers? Really considering getting a few for the problem causers.

Haha saw this the other week and had a chuckle! Few old rusty scissors on there as "antique"

Hi all, New to ratting, got one jack russel cross and a chainsaw smoker.
Firstly what is the best pipe to use to run off the exhaust as i keep melting the ones ive tried and secondly do you rev the engine at all or just pipe in and leave it ticking over? Had a small handfull of rats so far obviously no massive numbers due to us being a team of two.
Cheers folks

Breathtaking pictures, Just entering into the ratting world myself with my Jack russel cross corgi(suspected due to wopping great ears!)

Never had an issue with recoil on either Hawke or Nikko. I've used a hawke for the last year on my .223 and my farther used a cheap £40 nikko on his .308 whilst looking for a decent scope. Didnt lose zero at any point
All the best

Hi all, As said i am at my its end
I have a budget of around £700 and shoot foxes under the lamp at 200 yrds and less with a cz brno .223. Having done alot of searching, the main answer seems to be a s&b 8x56. However ive also been advised that for the same sort of money i could pick up a second hand schmidt (30mm tube) i could pick up a reasonable leupold of possibly for a tad more a Zeiss Duralyt. To make matters worse i really like the look of the Schmidt 2,5-10x56 30mm 
granted it means putting a little more money in as finding one of these secend hand seems thus far, impossible. I am also going to the shooting show on sunday and plan to have a look through them all there but what would you go for? 
Your opinions would be much appreciated
Cheers

Fastest. Within two minutes, not good though as customer v upset by seeing mole not as dead as would have liked, never been asked back.
Deepest. Nearly two and a half feet in heavy compacted granite strewn soil, never again thank-you.
Most memorable. When I first set out full time, caught all others in this peed field very quick, last one gave me the run around for a fortnight, farmer thought highly amusing, got so desperate that I waited with a shovel for a couple of hours, flicked him out and battered the barsteward.
Eh? They wanted the mole clearing but were upset at seeing it in the trap? Was it makign a noise or soemthing? Never heard a mole make a noise before so I don't know if they are vocal or not.
The dig is almost on par with ferreting depths.
Was it the mole or the rip taking farmer you flick and blugeoned with the shovel?
:D Trap went off as i was checking the previous days work, obviously pulled out a live and rather large mole. I was extremely suprised at just how vocal they are! Alot of squeeking and teeth baring.

Bp, Ive been doing alot of moles recently and have found the best place is ebay, Search stv152, theres a company called mastronics. having ordered from a few suppliers off ebay these seem damn good. strong sturdy traps and a reasonable price. I've only had the tunnel type traps mind you not the scissor so depends on your preference. and as for reading, mole catching by jeff nichols is a very good book however demonstrates a strong bias to half barrel tunnel traps.
hope this helps

Duffus half barrel trap all the way for me. own a few scissor for the odd occasion but had great success with the dufus. just much easier setting to a standard where mr mole wont recognise the tunnel disturbance

Hi all, The names Matt, and i'm from Derbyshire. Im 21 and am a fully trained butcher and slaughterman. I've been hunting for around 5 years now, after starting out with a brace of jills.
So as ive said, i started out ferreting(by myself as none of my family or then friends were into the country scene). After persuading my farther, an ex Royal Marine Commando of 11 years, i was allowed to use his almost antique Webley osprey to shoot a few pigeons out of the tree in our garden. I quickly saved up for my own and purchased a BSA Ultra, which i owned for 14 months before selling t to pay for my first shotgun. I now hold both a shotgun and firearm license, currently have no ferrets but that will be changing soon, and am now the proud owner of a 1 year old rescued terrier(suspected Jack russel x Corgi) that i hope to bring onto rats and rabbits. My main passion in life is the country and hunting, concentrating most of my efforts on controlling the elusive fox. I have viewed the site before but through a friends account. I'm hoping to reap the knowledge of all to better myself at my lifes passion.
All The Best
Matt
