I live in west London and snare fox in the neighbourhood whenever they are causing a nuisance,I had to snare one a few weeks back as it was entering a friends garden in broad daylight for her kids rabbits and guinea-pigs.I taught my 10 years old son how to snare fox last winter and he took to it like a pro Backtrack through some of the old threads,plenty of advice on fox snaring,or failing that drop Woodga a PM,top man who is full of trapping lore

Used to fish for the mullet shoals that cruised the sewage outlets in Hong Kongs Victoria harbour,bread flake worked at times,no such finesse with the Chinese,used to rip a f**K-off big treble through the tightly packed shoals and hope for the best

Millers gunshop used to be round the corner from the bus station when we were kids,my mate Malcolm had a part-time job in there,but I left Sunderland when I was 16 mate,havent been there in years(can you blame me ).Besides,we used to go upmarket for our gear,Bagnall & Kirkwoods or Steve Smiths in Newcastle,better class of establishment

Fu**ing hell,I had forgotten about that,remember as a kid I used to love visiting the Grainger market to look at the roe,hare,pheasant and other game hanging unskinned,au naturel,in the butchers section Most rabbits we got in a 24 hour period was 130+ but the area we hunted was saturated with them

Tuning a bow is easy Baldie..........But only if you know how Bows and arrows arent always compatible,the most basic component,the arrow shaft comes in an array of materials,lengths,straightness,weight,and diameter tolerances bewildering to the newbie,and thats before its fletched and tipped with a head of some sort. My advice would always be join a club,theres loads around,and practice with a compound,recurve,takedown,or longbow.See if you enjoy the sport,its not everyones cuppa,before splashing the cash on the bow of your choice.Most club archery enthusiasts will help a neophyte paper-tune

Amen for a sensible answer I work at Heathrow airport(sometimes) and trust me,broadheads are NOT illegal to own or import into the UK,also my local Archery Range Quicks stocks broadheads I see them whenever I pop into the shop to use their outdoor range

If your joining that gang Bob get yourself a tandem :kiss:

Who told you the broadheads are stopped at customs FD?

At the risk of starting a war, WHY THE F--K USE FERRETS FOR RATS? The ferret deserves better than that, being bitten and getting all sorts of shit into their blood systems, WHAT THE F--K IS ALL THAT ABOUT? Macho man posing or what? Still, there are hunters and then there are H U N T E R S! Fair enough if it comes across one during a rabbiting session, I'd love to see some of these 'hard ratting men' put their face into a hole with a rat, but they expect the ferret to face up to one, tossers! :realmad: Simon,you really do live up to your name

He didnt find his way out Katie......He was rescued RSPCA sent in an overnight snatch squad-squad :ph34r: Yet another job well done :ph34r: Dont forget to donate next time one of their charity collectors shakes his tin under your nose :wacko:

Hows the crow after his first night in the Glasshouse(memories )?
-
The reason for their no-show? A)They're afraid of you(heard of your amazonian reputation ). B)Cos they are normally funded through liberal do-gooders,and would rather not offend their sponsors,a decision has been made in the higher echelons of Durham RSPCA office not to alter or affect the course of nature in any way, shape,or form so they are waiting for the crow to die of old-a
-
Probably turn the crow into a media star"The Corvid One",better than all the supposed "Reality" crap thats on telly at the moment,keeps can be its PR manager :kiss:
-
Forget tangle,mangle,strangle and dangle Katie,if your really concerned about the poor creatures welfare why not call in the PROFESSIONALS (Forget Bodie and Doyle)Give the RSPCA a bell,got to be worth it for the comedic value alone

:11: you know all about nets dont you mackem :11: where will i get one of them from? I made it katie,worked wonderfully at washington when the mallard and teal were flighting in at night :whistle:
-
Wadcutters katie,flatheads,theory being they impart all their initial energy into the creature rather than passing clean through,give it a go with a low powered gun like a BSA meteor,I truly dont think you will break a pane :whistle: (However,I wont be held liable if you do ). What about a flight-net stretched across on two tall poles?Used to catch ducks in them at night when they flighted into ponds,works on the principal of a large mist-net

Amen to that IS,scariest places in the world childrens wards Nothing humbles a person more than an hour spent in one of those places Anyone working in such an atmosphere and still smiling for the kids sake deserves a chestful of medals
