Just happened across this article from GWCT regarding the trapping of stoats, and changes to legislation.

 

Interesting read.

8k to test a trap?

There are enough retailers and suppliers selling them, they should get together then £8 k is not a lot, it will be them that loses out as well as us.

Just another thought, in the US they use victor break back rat traps for killing stoats, so how come we can't if we are all supposed to abide by the AIHTS regs ??

They can also use footholds, locking snares, bigger bodygrips, if they are going to stop us using fenns then they should alter the laws on what we can use.

Fenns as bait traps so im reading mk6s set in rabbit burrows should be okay ?
