    one of the first things we were shown was how to back fill right and were always told how back filling correctly was the most important aspects of terrier work, if you aint prepared to fill it dont dig it, those that leave them open are'nt true fieldsport enthusists and have no respect for there quarry or the land they work they're just blood sport scum giving genuine hunting men a bad name you get them in all aspects of fieldsports part timers who are'nt in it for the long haul to us its a way of life to them its a game then they get bored and move on to something else. dosent matter were, i

    stealing money from a bundle of c*nts who steal from its people everyday nothing wrong with that in my eyes, fair play to the lad. and handing himself in an even bigger embaressment to the crown, as for the man who got the knock on the head he should'nt of but his neck on the line for a goverment that does'nt give a fok about its people. if it had of been me i'd of let them at it and asked for a little back hander lol.

    i've been into longnetting now for the last couple of years and i'm hooked, still a novice but i'm always learning and thats the main thing. i prefare using the traditional set up as i feel its more of a personnal touch. in my eyes it hold's the mystery of the long net to the eyes of those who dont know how. i use the basket system for ferreting a good job it is to and will admit that the fixed pole method deminstrated in glenn waters vid a legend he is to is a lot quicker to use but i sill prefare the traditional method for the very reason that on a blowy night running your twine along the

    Hi ,..both of these rabbit traps are the end result of the 'feeding frenzy' that occured after the banning of the 'gin'. The Ministry of Agriculture offered a financial incentive for folk to come up with new ideas and concepts for humane 'killing traps'... I do believe that this portion of our history was emotional... The majority of ideas put forward as being suitable were the products of a whole bus-load of crazy,..possibly MAD inventors ..I've seen reams of pages and diagrams that were offered as being on a par with the Gin,..(and in truth,.few traps will ever match the gin for ca

    thanks very much lads they're the very traps im on about. if they.re still legal why did they stop making them? which is the better of the two traps? is there any traps available today that resemble them and are set in the same manner? are they hard to come by and if i did come by them what sort of money could i expect to pay for them? how do yous rate these traps to modern traps? Sorry for all the questions lad's just intrested? Thanks onve again lads Happy Hunting ATB Fathom
