was talking to the neighbouring farmer of the field were one lot of muppets were on thurday , he spent a good deal of friday chasing sheep back off cornland and into his grass fields as some idiot had left a gate open

you never know them anti's will stop at nothing most motorists don,t even see you , they are looking forward , if they do see you its to late to work out what you are doing, i have worked on road side many times and not had any bother

just to add to this boiling pot , these lads do not have permission and the farmer concerened will definatly not have asked them on his land as he like to see the hares around i can understand wanting rid of hares if they are doing damage , but these are not and most hare damage is small area,s out in the middle of fields as hares browse , then move on a yard or two and browse a bit more, where as rabbit damage is mostly around the headland in concentrated areas where the crop can struggle anyway, plus those little bundles of fur are out all day eating

i seem to put this up at this time every year , why the hell do these idiots run hares in the summmer , never see them in winter , always at this time of year, seen 2 lots round here in the last 4 days

The RSPB warden has no rights to enter private land period..... I would write a strongly worded letter of complaint to whoever is in charge of this moron and leave them in no doubt that should it happen again you will bring a prosecution for trespass. Rolfe you could also bring a prosecution for trespass of goods , which is part of the theft act, which basically means , he is not allowed to interfear with a legal method of pest control

ratchermans first trip with the wires
moley replied to woodga's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
you look good in that apron , was told to say that by your "partner" ratcherman , just one thing , its a bit un-nerving when you walked in the kitchen and i saw that you were wearing the apron , and nothing else :sick: -
who tests traps for approval and where can you get the results from ? whats these supposed new regulations ? i was told today that the new trap tests will be that a trap must kill within 7 seconds , dunno if its right or not, do these tests rely on evidence from competent trappers or just some fool with a degree in animal behavior ? are the results from different trap settings or a standard way? thanks in advance , i,m sure some of you lads on here will be able to find the answers

that lot makes more sense than most of the posts on THL

this is not a critisism , as i no longer do moles , but it looks to me like you have the trigger to one side rather than central , does this mean you set it that way and if so , what if a mole comes in from the other direction , its gonna get caught my the hips ?

thats the last time you get into my shed

had a couple of weasels ,a small bitch stoat and two water voles, unfortunatly, one was a double with a mole, when i used scissor traps many years ago , i used to catch quite a few mice and field voles

well it started as just going to be a 5-10 yrd stop net, but then i thought feck it just keep going, but im only at the 25 yrd mark , and i want to do a 100 to set at 50. because it was only going to be a stop net for ferreting, i only did it 10 meshes high , so now im going to put a salvage mesh iether side making 12 high. well i looked at it last night , then looked back at the telly i will finish it one day , like you said hats of to the guys that just keep on going i got it set up so i can look at the telly at the same time as knitting, i used to spend most winter night

to save compressing soil on the washer type trigger on the mole traps , just take a pair of bolt cutters and cut at each side of the centre hole and the bottom drops out and you are now left with a couple of prongs , give them a wee file to smooth , and it works fine.by the way good clear pictures and info rolfe. i remember you telling me this years ago snareman , so i tried it with both scissor and fenn mole traps , i found the mole was getting to far into the trap and hitting the trigger with its back/shoulders and getting hip caught, tried just a bit cut out and half cut out and got simil

Approved 'fenn' type Spring Traps
moley replied to john b's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
i can see where your coming from and like you say , can,t judge a trap on its proto type , but this is a copy of a trap that has took 50 years to get right (your words)and now the copiers are still not getting the copies right , this is the only fault i can see with the trap , but as its the most important bit , its ...important , a young rabbit caught in the trap i was sent will not die straight away as the gap is too bloody big and will not crush neck or body and just hold the poor thing, i only caught one big rabbit around the neck and took the trap up because it was a live , which i fi
