Nice to see this version, of a "vintage trap design",being put to good use,.....lol

 

 

Nice to talk earlier earthy :thumbs:

 

If only I had mains gas or water, a modicum of technical engineering ability and really short arms :laugh: I'd be knocking those things out on ebay left right and centre, and using the money I made to buy some nice shiny stainless steel duffus traps :laugh:

 

It sure as hell is nice to see them in use though :yes: all credit to you Perthy... :thumbs:

It's good to see the old stuff still in use,made in a time when mass production of such things were unheard of, and each one made in a old shed by a bloke who had spent hours refineing what he did, learning by his mistakes they were the true trappers,

I don't think the ability to knock up your own traps makes you any better a trapper than the guy that buys in traps and catches more :thumbs:

maybe not Matt but back when them traps were doing there bit, it was passed down from father to son, or learnt by trial and error, and that means something to me at least,

they were the first type of trap i realy used....just because i didnt have the money to buy any...some pipe...some bag ties..and some wire pinched off the railway fence and away you go....

i also soon learned how to make a trap from the same thing for birds of the game variety :whistling:
