  1. According to the grapevine, catcher here was on day rate at £10@hr.not a lot of return regards the work involved in a 600 bag I'd say.
  2. Mr wasp will have a sore arse this time next Tuesday
  3. Nah I know,it's very difficult to express banter and humour through a keyboard. Cracking site and my first port of call when I log on.
  4. I give him a week before a full blown tantrum, toys thrown out of the pram and post in the general section asking to be deleted. Shall we start a book? ha ha ha 5 days to hang in there and I win, whose the arse then?
  5. Rumour has it the local pro got over 600 on a riddled farm not too far away,That's from the farming community not the trapping community. Brilliant going that and they say he was popping traps back in and they were firing again as he checked others. Will try to take some pics of his spot regards the damage done once he's finished and moved on.
  6. 5lifted today out of 14 with 3 back filled and 6 no shows.
  7. some right hard buggers on here lol.
  8. When your getting on in years and hand arthritis is a big problem, they are a godsend trust me..todays is still burning 11 hrs. later.
  9. Dog eat Dog I suppose, not a world I've lived in before but I can see where you full timers are coming from. regards Peter.
  10. I see the point Matt,must be my upbringing. I was mentored in farming and life to be as helpful and kind to others as possible. You know help where you can and you'll feel better about. perhaps that method no longer works in this cut throat world we now live in. point taken and I'll never mention another book. back to reading for me I think .

  12. It's like everything that requires time on with all it's success and failures along the way, could be any industry or hobby for that matter. You learn to build on the basics and hone your own unique skills to suit your environment. That's fair enough but for folk that don't know a thing regards a certain subject and have no mentor to guide them a book has to be the first port of call. We all started at the very beginning with the first probe and hole dug didn't we.
  13. Amazes me book shops still operate with the thoughts of some on here. I'd say start reading as much as you can, buy good quality traps and get out and practice. Now some on here may have been born with a natural gift to trapping moles from birth. However the majority of the population was not born with such a natural gift and they need to learn the basics to begin with.so if reading helps them achieve their goal so be it, to me and what I know after 40 year in farming is that the mole catcher is very worried of competition from new comers and likes to over complicate how difficult the trade
  14. Aye closed shop in most areas, knuckle down and learn by your mistakes is the only way forward I found.
  15. Leek men are getting busy here preparing their trenches. Great fun when they get an invader in the raised bed, all hell breaks loose.
  16. True beauty of the job is something always comes along and either baffles you or amazes you, as long as you got him tilman that's the main thing.
  17. 20 traps for one mole was maybe a bit overkill,5 traps placed at a slower pace and in the right place would have been my method. I certainly wouldn't be happy with a catch ratio like what you got on that job.
  18. Reminds me of the two bulls standing on the hill and staring down at a field full of heifers. young bull says jesus! look at them down there, "lets run down and do one of them". Old bull says no, "we'll walk down there and do them all!"
