Bobba_fett 117 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 It's something to do with the fenn not killing a stoat quick enough and stoats fall under the EU laws regarding the fur trade and fur bareing animal. I've looked into it a bit as I'm a grouse keeper with hundreds of fenns on the ground. Quote Link to post
swarmcatcher 15 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 If you are likely to be catching a stoat in it (even if its a miscatch) it will be illegal to place it, unless you can somehow prevent a stoat getting into it. Think someone mentioned that the DOC could be used as a replacement for the Fenn but you will need to check on that - luckily I don't find myself having to worry about it too much Quote Link to post

I sympathise with your predicament on the Moor,....we have a similar situation darn sarf on some wild bird shoots... As you know,.when you've Grouse and Grey Partridge to protect....Stoats can be a big old problem... Not quite sure how all this Fenn business is going to pan out,.... Quote Link to post
