Yep. You aren't allowed to shoot them. I think that rats are the only thing that you can legally shoot without a hunting licence. But if you wanted to take your dog for a walk along a river bank there is nothing stopping you as far as I am aware. Getting 'The Chasse' or local hunting group to deal with foxes, badgers and coypu is a problem from what I have heard. They don't want to know. I've been asked if I would trap them, but the problem for me is that I haven't got a hunting licence so I can't legally shoot the trapped animal, I can't legally release it and I don't want one as a pet.

Since I moved over to France I haven't had a stick. Back in the UK it was customary to choose a stick around this time of year and then have it ready for the next beating season. Now I don't shoot I haven't had the need for one until we got a little 3 year old terrier from the dog's home last December. She had been badly treated and this showed whenever I picked up anything that resembled a stick;- fishing rod, rake, anything like that. So I cut a little stick and started taking it with us on walks to de-sensitise here which has worked and also got me back into the walking with a stick routine

The problem with clubs like West Ham is that they have such a large, loyal support they attract the money men who want to take the revenue from that support without returning it to the club for the benefit of the very supporters who are funding it. Football clubs are seen as brands and no one is interested in the Bournemouth brand who only bring 11,000 through the turnstiles every home game. But West Ham are perfect for these investors. 50,000 loyal fan base and players don't expect mega salaries.

Put the bait under the trap, no on it. Nothing hard under the treadle though as that might stop it moving enough to trip. Also, check the surfaces of the treadle hook and the brass flap to make sure there is nothing rough that might cause it to jam. I smoothed mine off with a file then emery cloth. Then set the trigger right at the last part just before it will set the trap off.

A lot depends on the starting point, and given who OSG followed and the chaos they had caused, I reckon that he is doing OK. It takes years to undo the mess left behind some times.

Back in the 1990's there were a couple of workmen doing repairs on a bridge near to Barnsley. One of them dropped his hammer and while he was fishing around for it he pulled up a large silver salver. It was engraved with something about cattle showing and so I wrote everything down that was relevant and went round to my neighbour who showed Limousin cattle (this was pre-Internet & Google). Bob made some enquiries with the people who organise cattle shows and it turned out that the salver was worth a couple of grand and had been stolen from a farm in the Midlands in a burglary around 12 yea

No. You 'found' something that you thought was of value, but knew that it would be worth a lot more if you could confirm that it worked. Hence your rather naive post on here asking for somebody to test it. Greed got the better of you. It goes beyond curiosity and we all know what your intentions are. I don't believe a word you say.
-
If you had no intention of profiting from this 'find' then you wouldn't have looked up its value or asked for help in finding out if it worked. You would have just handed it in at work or at a police station. It doesn't matter what you now say. People will have formed opinions on what you have done and IMO you don't come out of this very well.

Not Poch'. He will have had much better offers IMO.

I reckon that unit might never have been fitted. It looks too new and shiny. The law is clear; it should be handed in. But anyone daft enough to post something like the OP has done isn't likely to be doing that so he takes his chance and for a few hundred quid he might get lucky. But if he gets unlucky then he only has himself to blame.

Unless it is Jamie Vardy. He seems to thrive on the role.

If he'd have bitten me then he would have gone on to succeed. In fact he would have had to suck everything until he got a new set of teeth.

I would say that the majority of people who are against the use of e-collars don't actually know how they work.

The most common mouse infestation out here are what the French call Mulots. The Latin name is: Apodemus sylvaticus which I think translates to Wood Mouse. They are very frequently found in barns and the old buildings adjoining or next to old houses. They are a lot larger than the mouse usually found in houses. Adults are often mistaken for young rats. This one had been getting into a live catch rat cage and then slipping out by pushing the door against the spring so it opened enough to squeeze out. I only found that out by watching a trail-cam footage. The cage trap was given to me a few weeks

Point 1 is a reflection on life on general. People today live for the moment and cannot remember what happened yesterday let alone last season. But, I genuinely hope that Liverpool win it this year purely for Klopp's sake. There cannot be a nicer man in football and he deserves to achieve his dreams.

So am I. And that's only at home ?

There is something not right about that draw. I can find Newcastle, Middlesborough and Hartlepool amongst the fixtures, but there is no big team from the north-east playing. Why is that? ?

I think that City are prioritising the CL this year and won't mount a challenge on the PL. Liverpool are playing differently this year. They aren't as assured at the back and now Fabhino is out for at least a month they might struggle. They have a very tight schedule and don't have a great deal of cover.

The re-chargeable batteries are still holding up. I thought that I had caught the bait thief........ A mulot. Last night I put a smaller trap out and caught it. But after watching the recordings it seems like there were two visitors........ I got a rat running about all over the traps. This is next to my garage door that leads into the basement. I know from bitter experience that these barstewards can get through the slight gap between the door and wall and in that part of the basement are four large plastic boxes with fishing bait and bird seed in them. There is n

The thing is that all the migrants processed by the EU are allocated to re-settlement centres. They are taken there and initially the host country has a lot of expense in housing them and paying for whatever other needs they have; education, health, clothing, etc. A lot of these people might not actually want to make their lives in whatever place has been allocated to them so they vanish. The Hungarian PM had a right go at the EU about this policy. He quite rightly pointed out that the refugees don't want to come to Hungary and Hungary doesn't want them. Many vanish on the first day they arriv

Do you think that he is that bright?
