This body grip is set at the entrance to a rabbit hole..... will it catch rabbits set like this?

I've never tried these but they look pretty good... how do they compare to the mk6 fenn? you wouldn't fit one in that space.

There good traps but for rabbits your better off snaring them...cheap, simple and just as deadly..

[Guest The Big Fish]

Rabbithunter, i thought you would have known better

 

Just as other spring traps in the UK, even the bodygripper needs to be set within a tunnel.

Whose to say it wasn't covered with a tunnel after the pic had been taken? It would be some clever b*****d camera to take a pic of it that clearly when it was covered wouldn't it, unless the tunnel being used was transparent

[Guest The Big Fish]

Well he didnt state that is was covered in the original post, so one can only conclude that he means will the trap catch "as is" like shown in the photo.

You shouldn't assume & maybe ask before judging.

No that body grip probably wont catch a rabbit.They work best when set in rough grass runs,bramble thickets,under and through fences.All with wire covers over the traps of course.

Rabbits are very very wary when imerging from there sets or warrens and would shy away from a body grip set like that.For the ultimate place to have good kills with body grips you want rabbit proof fences with little tight runs going through it,deadly.

These rabbits,and an unlucky hare where taken in grass tunnel type runs.

Perhaps you should tell that to the many newcomers and guests that may look at these type posts and think that is the proper way to go about things

I think that an important point has been made here, however we got around to it.

 

There are novices coming on here all the time who will take what they see at face value. It is important that we don't assume that everyone will know the right way to do things and, where we can, that we give clear advice on legal requirements and best practice.

 

And if you spot something that's been overlooked - please add to the thread constructively ! We got enough people taking pops at us from outside.

Well said john b

i have caught rabbits coming out of there burrows but it has always been when there has been cover round the hole also if there is a bit of bramble across the hole set the body grip under it i have caught them this way but like the great man says there are excellent on fences and the and the 110s on rat runs with a mesh cover on are deadly
