Not What I Expected To Find........!


Recommended Posts

Checking one of my most productive squirrel cages today (44 Squirrels from this one this year) I was suprised to find this rather agitated little fella had managed to get himself trapped. The cage is sited about four feet off the ground on a fallen pine tree that has conveniently lodged itself against an adjoining tree. The cage hasn't caught for a week or two so can't imagine it was the scent of a squirrel that attracted it..........just its inquisitive nature i suppose or maybe it had turned vegetarian and taken a fancy to the hazel nuts .........!

Nod......Never come across any black un's as yet.......plenty of the Grey buggers though, i run a trapline all year round to try and control their numbers on a few on my contracts and there seems a never ending supply at times.

Dytkos...Thanks mate........I try and put up anything a bit unusual or interesting but i sometimes wonder if its worth it at times with some of the numpties on here ...lol...!

Never mind the numpties, it's interesting and always enjoyable to see and read about something a bit different :thumbs:

      Elgeeco's Procull humane dispatch squirrel trap...Britain's best kept secret on the war against invasive Eastern Gray Squirrel.

      This is OUELL RM trap.  Used for muskrats...nethertheless, it has proven itself highly effective in the dispatch of grey squirrels.  These photo are of the RM set with the safety on.  It is shown without it's artificial cedar tunnel.

      Elgeeco's Procull squirrel trap.  Very well designed and engineered!

      This trap was introduced by Jordan Budenski around 2014.  Extremely powerful trap... I put rubber bumpers at the end of the channels to protect the kill bar from damaging the metal.  The only down side there is not a saftey.  First known as a the Rat Cracker... now called a Rodent Tank.  In some circles, it is referred to as a "Hell Box".

      Ouell has risen the bar.  411 is equally effective in the destruction of grey squirrels, weasels, stoats, rats and similar vermin.  Strong construction, galvanized, very light and easy to set.  It will kill outright.  Officially approved... Certifié Québec.  If approved by UK standards, 411 would compete against Kania 2000 and Elgeeco's Procull in reducing the UK's grey squirrel population.
