  1. I have never seen a black muskrat,but the normal brown ones are in most waterways and ditches local.The trap is as complicated as they come,read about the light
  2. The jaws release as the trap rises so the muskrat is safely caged,like something from a HG Wells muskrat movie.I wonder how much live muskrat fetched to restock a marsh?
  3. Iranians are in the top 4 nationalities crossing the English Channel illegally in small boats,they aren’t all coming for fish and chips and the fantastic British weather,some will arrive with malice aforethought (it’s happened in the past) you could very well be right sir.
  4. Canadian teenager on holiday in Australia back in January was attacked by a dingo pack while walking on the beach.They attacked her so she ran into the sea to escape the pack and drown,when her body was found the pack were around her,six were shot and the rest ran off.

  6. The world is laughing at the UK's weak leader,Trump reposted this.......

  8. One thing it ain’t is for catching tarantulas when I first joined this forum there was a huge trap auction in Reading,some old bloke had died and had a collection of weird and wonderful traps from around the world.OTC who used to be on here was there.I saw a fish trap,for pike,that reminded me of this trap.Multiple prongs for holding a slippery fish and a bait hook.
  9. There’s a bait hook on it,reminds me of a pike trap I saw once.
  10. Back in the day teenagers made enough cash to buy a truck trapping muskrats,imagine carrying 50 of those
  11. Manicures and pedicures are ok though…..Right?🫣
  12. I have been in the walled city,it was demolished within a year of me arriving,Hong Kong then was awesome,an incredible place for a young bloke,glad I had those times.
  13. Who manufactured them?With a name like Lambsaver what predator were they used against?
  14. What’s the size and build cost?
  15. He is a nice guy,I met him and watched him performing stunts over the course of a week on a film set in Hong Kong years back.
  16. Iran can breath a sigh of relief.
  17. Chuck Norris has passed away RIP
