  1. Cant imagine how to set a huge garden in such a short period of time. what was your catch ratio out of traps set?
  2. one every 3 minutes, from probing digging out and setting, bloody hell I wouldn't ever want to work at that pace.
  3. Anyone use them, didn't bother with mine today but after 30 mins wished I had?
  4. Just hung me 5th one up this afternoon from 10 traps over 6 days ground has been rock solid here with snow still lying this afternoon.
  5. why the line under my text? now it's gone lol.
  6. I reckon as many as I can comfortably manage without racing about 10 -15 probs more but I aint in a rush nowadays
  7. Thought Proctor was a new design lol,iv'e never seen a decent trap in any garden centre or agricultural dealer stores.They are all cheap crap and your wasting your time with them. That's why I stick with fourteen acre though I think I've bought of flatpack in the past also.
  8. I don't believe everything I read and never have, I process it and disregard the bits of no use to me. Buy my traps from fourteen acre, Duffus and Talpax with a few nomoles lying about also.
  9. All I needed was the theory and links to suppliers, the book gave me the encouragement not to give up. It was a valuable tool in getting me started and I have no regrets buying it. I'M busy working sheep land at present (still snow behind the dykes) and doing very well, like you say your learn the skill yourself with time.
  10. I like books and am an avid reader on all subjects.my first book was "the cat sat on the mat" and funnily enough it helped me learn to read and write. Maybe my nursery teacher should have started me off something much more complex? Keep reading folks it's good for the brain, anyone that thinks they don't need to learn is a fool.
  11. I look forward to reading OTC's best selling book as he seems to have plenty of opinions. Like you say I found it a good read and it helped me from knowing nothing about moles to quite a good hand at clearing them up.
  12. Jesus sorry I spoke! for someone starting out I think it covers a lot of valid points. I'll just read the threads in future.
  13. A great book to give insight into the mole and trapping him. mole catching by jeff Nicholls,it's on Amazon.
  14. How accurate are these regards locating a trap, never had anything to do with them before?
  15. memory like a sieve here regards where I have set traps,started to use my phone and voice recorder feature describing the field and run system,works ok but not foolproof,what do others use apart from flags and a good memory?
  16. As a side note I will be spray marking my traps in future alongside flag marking, some idiot left a gate open and 300 ewe's came onto my patch and knocked the markers over.Think I'm only 3 traps missing (duffus) the talpex were still easy to spot.
