DIDO.1 3,872 Report post Posted February 11 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 Share this post Link to post
