THEY ARE RUBBISH IN MY OPINION, JUST A GLORIFIED RAT TRAP AND YOU CAN BUY FAR BETTER FOR LESS MONEY , BUT IN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION THEY ARE BEING MADE ILLEGAL FOR USE ON STOATS. 1 Quote Link to post
3175darren 1,093 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Rubbish in your opinion, well that a statement that starts and ends with your opinion, in my opinion, fenn traps have accounted for huge amounts of prey, and to be fair, hardly any foul catches to me that’s s measure of success, we all have our favourites, that I will concede, but to say they should be banned, is bollox in my view, 2 Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 A much better trap than those crap Fenns 1 Quote Link to post
DIDO.1 20,802 Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 The only defense I had for using fenns is we ran a big trap line and we already had lots of fenns. And replacements were cheap (and were often not fenns) and fenns in tunnels was all we knew. What ever job you are now doing there is a better option. That said if I had to run a hundred plus traps on a grouse Moor I'd prob have fenns for economy and ease of use. Compare a catch in a body grip to one in a fenn and there is a big difference in speed of death. As micky said there is a difference between dead and dead. Catch a hundred squirrels in fenns in a short period and you will see what he means... 1 Quote Link to post
