moley

looks like theres 14 moles there, at £10 per mole, that little catch should cover the cost that any taxidermist would charge !!

two inch mesh on your tunnel entrances will stop hedghogs, trouble is squirrels dont seem too keen to enter either, dont stop small bunnies , stoats, weasels or rats

the simple answer to your question is yes, you can make a good living without poison and by use traditional methods

its all bullshit muddy

jamie, its down to being lazy, its easier to put a post on here asking a question that has bin asked before, rather than go thru old posts, if they cannot be arsed to look thru old posts, they will sharp get sick of checking empty traps or snares, probably ending up in them being abandoned , which makes genuine folk look bad, if the people that keep answering stopped answering , it might just put and end to it,

you do NOT have to check mole traps every day, , if you set them correctly , the mole will be dead almost instantly,why do people give wrong advice ? ffs read the law

that shud keep him busy, cheers

its for a lad at works college course, so a link or a website wud be more helpful,so he can have a read and make notes, he dont get any internet were he lives , so muggins gets the job of finding things out, thanks anyway matt

also just wanting to keep up to date with any changes in the law

restrictors on entrances to cages, what size to keep out protected animals

anyone got a link to the best website for up to date trap and trapping regs please, cheers

are they set up over holes made by the mink then ?

i agree with what your saying perthshire, i dont trap mink now, but when i did , i always had my fenns on a wire, if a mink was badly caught or still alive, i set up so it would drop onto deep water and drowned, not a fan of cages, tho i do use them, i have had too many animals with broken teeth and nails to think they are humane

have to say, i have had foul catches in all the traps i have used over the years, regardless of wether they fenn, bodygrip, cage or snap, i have little experience of kanias, if you trap alot , you will at some stage get a foul catch, you got to try your best to get clean catches and be as humane as poss by making the tunnels the right size , keeping you traps in good order ,etc, i think there are design floors in all traps that are available, but untill someone invents something that is fool proof , you just got to piss with the cock you got

dickies do a work trouser that you put foam inserts into, then waterproofs over the top
