why not set two traps and double your chances , or even gang set , so the mink has nowhere to go but in a trap, put a bodygrip in the stream its self , it wouldn,t take much fencing in , those mink have two things to worry about , old age and starvation
-

£15 -£20 per hour is about the going rate for round here for a self employed sole trader, one off jobs are usually charged per job or priced accordingly, i suppose it also depends in which part of the country you are

cheers shitty , i intend to

no need to feel sorry for me , i have made good money over the years , but am just ready for a change, for the last two years my heart has just not been in the job of trapping moles rats etc and going round the farm rodent contracts every month,and i always promised myself i would pack it in when i didn,t want to go to work in the morning , that time has come......one other small thing has swayed my decision... i got a full time rabbit catchers job on 17,000 acres of prime rabbit country , now i,m looking forward to getting to work in the morning , roll on 1st feb

good luck to anyone starting up , i,m getting out of it after 20 years of working for farmers that think you can work for nothing and then wait 2 months to get paid, don,t get me wrong , theres plenty of farmers out there that just about chase you down the field with thier cheque book , but not many , never bothered to go down the domestic,s route , seems thats where the money is, i prefer my own company and don,t like looking round peoples house , the open countryside is where i like to be
-
going good , averaging 50 head per shoot , wild birds and a few rabbits ,woodcock etc
-
no mate just oxfam casual , i might let you all come again next year if ya learn to shoot straight woodga was on top form and only missed two birds all day , until i reminded him of a few more he missed

my wife used to record go fishing while i was fishing and me and my mate would sit and watch it on getting home

-
i,ll be safe if last time is owt to go by, how many shots for how many kills ?
-
i don,t think they realise that this country of ours is the way it is cos of farmers and landowners
-
i was going to put an arsey comment on , but if you muppets are willing to go out and "enjoy "yourselves in that for "sport " then you deserve every hard earned rabbit, i have sat about and got fat , not as fat as" lardy " but working on it, no point in blowing myself out just yet
-
i have bid on a bit of his stuff , always get outbid, by another bidder from hull?? i just put on what i,m prepared to pay and leave it at that , if i win , i win , i,m not bidding against his mates
-
some of the best days i have been too have bin in heavy rain and wind , doesn,t seem to bother the birds
-
that first pic would suggest that the soil has bin dug out from the inside , probably a rat or rabbit , similar in the second pic and sticks in the traps are just what the keepers do when they havn,t time to check the traps everyday
-
yes , but not with a dozen snares , just the one on each leaning pole , good in areas that might get "troubled "by passers-by , most just walk past and see nothing , unless you catch
-
mine are not waterproof , the coat let in after about 6 months and the trousers let in after 3 days , so i sent them back and got a another pair that lasted 4 days , mind this is kneeling down setting traps all day
