Missing snares

[PeakOil 352]

Some wires left out for foxes round the pens and on runs kept vanishing from a quiet part of the wood, no matter how well we tried to hide them We suspected trespassing walkers / antis but couldn't work out how they were clearing up so many So I got to thinking how do you find metallic objects hidden in undergrowth / in the ground, a metal detector perhaps? No the twats can't be that sad as to scan paths and runs with metal detectors looking for snares can they? A bit of Googling later and I found

Hello You may be asking your self how hard is it to find snares and illegal traps like the Gin trap and so on this is not as hard to answer as you may think as every one knows snares & traps are every where it is locating them and how to do it as quickly as possible.

 

1). The first place to look around for Snares is near pheasant pens game keepers will lay them around the area near the pens to catch foxes the problem with this is it not only catches foxes but badgers & domestic animals as well.

 

What I have found in some parts of the British countryside are Blue or White containers filled with corn seed this is often fixed to tree's with a metal coil at the base they are often hidden in the woods. This is often near shooting estates or near farms look for lots of bird seed on the ground in your local woods this is so the shooting parties have a supply of birds to kill.

 

This is a good area to look for snares and traps as well don't think for one minute that because some types of traps and snares are banned that they won't be used which is more important to the person setting them wildlife or money.

2). The best way to search for snares & traps in the woods or in fields or around Pheasant pens is with a Simple metal detector as the Snare is metal and if there is no metal fence near the search coil then it will help find metal objects faster as we are only interested in finding metal objects above ground we do not need a very dear metal detector for very little money the one in the photo is only £50.00.

 

Anyone else had this happen or suspected it??

Whilst you don’t need a licence to own or use a metal detector in the UK, there are stringent laws about its use. It’s illegal to use one on private land without prior permission from the owner. It is also illegal to use one on a Scheduled Archaeological Site.

 

If we find people using metal detctors on private land what are the chances of the old bill being interested in prosecuting the antis for criminal damage / theft / trespassing and using a metal detector without permission??

 

Cheers off to calm down and hatch a plan to catch the fuckers!!

Guys entering land without permission is happening every single night of the year,its called nighthawking,its commonplace,they normally target sites with rich historical pickings Never heard of anyone buying a detector to seek out snares though The machine will constantly be sounding if set on "ferrous" which fox snares are.

I suppose if you can find the runs, so can whoever is taking the snares.

If they know that you're snaring the runs, that's where they'll look.

Have you seen any tracks made by whoever is doing it? Maybe you could find out where they are coming from/going to.

Cheers people we got a suspect in mind. Need to do a little observation, sort out an alibi then be waiting quietly. Trying to get a mate to rig up a buzzer on the gate we think he is using.
