Coypu

[donnyc 1,203]

Coypus where a common sight on the broads in the late 70s most where trapped or shot cant say i know of anyone who seriously worked these over this way with dogs they inhabitated the reed beds marshes and dykes a nightmare for dogs(lost one of mine in the marshes for 3 long hours one october evening after Muntjak) last one i remember seeing alive in the wild was when out pike fishing in about 83.

I have no doubt that there are none left as these things are basically bloody great big rodents and breed like bloody big rodents and you would soon know if they was still about!

If anyone has pics of these being worked by dogs then post em up as i would be intersted in seeing them

We had a yearly norfolk fortnight when we camped on the Broads.Weird when a pack of hounds and followers go across a meadow with cattle on and the field is moving about .Some of them dykes are bottomless.

Those dykes are seriously bottomless mate can remember as a kid the old man being called outta bed because cattle had gone down to the dykes to drink and had sunk in the marsh we could hear em bellow as they drown and no one could do f**k all!

Don't know where you stayed back then but we had no hunts round my way as the land was too marshey for horses but we took care of old charlie ourselves

When i did a gassing course up in wiltshire it was being held by a man called jonn lill, from i think lincolnshire he said he was the main man with MAFF, who wiped them all out, he was selling off the cage traps, wish i had bought them now, but there you go hindsight is a wonderful thing.

maybe john lill can make you a trap

he's got his own trap makeing company
