    Hi Bullfighter, they are Talpex traps and by the looks of them cheap Chinese crap!!! and the answer is no, you won,t find them cheaper, average price £6 + vat , try Killgerm or Barrentine always buy the best traps and preferably British don,t waste your money for the sake of a £1, why they are calling them pro scissor traps is beyond me ???? best regards Steve

    Hi Tyke & Moley, hi Tyke there is only one area where the mole is active around the post/rails & he was nailed today! I know what you mean, nice & wet with the rain dripping off the rails, but most of the connecting runs are coming off the hedge rows. Hi Moley, thanks for your input , I,m going to try your idea/theory tomorrow ,hope the move/new job goes well. running total so far is 7!! but I think that there is another 12/15 to go yet!!! STEVE

    Hi Richie &Trappa ,got my work cut out , is taking the micky !!!! 290 acre stud farm for horse,s and I don,t mean donkey,s 50 k the cheapest nag! the problem is that the ground is a sandy/black loam & i,m having trouble in locating the tunnels, these runs are deep, no shallow runs on average 12 inches min: the land is slightly underduelating so only duffus traps can be used nearly threw the probe/ dibber in the hedge I;m starting to take this personally any help would be appriecate ( MOLEY aka Wayne ,how is the new job going ) the land is strictlty pasture never been under the plough

    Good shout Glenn, i,ve been trawling the net all evening and have found out that the L.A.C.S are a charity BUT it flies under the banner of The League Trust (reg: charity number 1095234 ) I,ll bet you a £ to a penny they have got some really clever lawyers/accountants !!!!

    Hi Big Dug, yes I am , the LACS got fox hunting banned in Scotland first, then it was England/Wales turn next!! I can see the same happening again, the LACS have been to quite of late(been building thier funds up) I,ve always said that snaring would be thier next target , so we have been warned lads/lasses south of the border i remember going to the rallies in London, excuse me if I,m wrong ,but we south of the border can not lobby your MSP,s but obviously can e~mail Ross Montague at the S.C.A , please correct me if I am incorrect ,I also think that the S.C.A have got thier sums wrong? have

    Hi; saw this on another forum! type in www.foshamcottagearks.com scroll down & on left hand side you will see mink raft click on ;then scroll down you;ll a picture/photo of the raft; it should give you some idea;s if you were contemplating in making a mink raft for yourself !! I;m sure members of this forum could make this for a fraction of the cost; hope this has been of some use ? Steve
