  1. Aye, I'm aware of the makers of these more modern versions,....both very good traps ! (I'd be interested in your wooden one, etc)
  2. They were common before the invention of the duffus, half barrel, & were still available alongside these newer metal traps, for a short while, apparently
  3. View Advert Wooden full barrel (or half) mole trap I'm looking to buy any examples of these early trap types, in reasonable condition, etc ? Advertiser earth-thrower Date 25/03/25 Price £30 Category Miscellaneous

    I'm looking to buy any examples of these early trap types, in reasonable condition, etc ?

    £30

  5. I'm looking for any examples of these old traps, both full & half barrel types (wooden),....if anybodys anything for sale, thanks.
  6. This was an old probably commercially available trap (at one time), from the 50s/60s i reckon this one, which was in not bad condition for its age,....the spring seemed strong enough, so I put it to work,.....
  7. This one ain't a mole !.....(last trap o the day, too)
  8. This is only the second time ave had this, in over 30 year, both were still warm. Wonder how common it is for this wee predator, to actively hunt the mole in its tunnel system, or is it more opportunistic ?
  9. Wish I could catch them in this position, every time with the talpex,...
  10. Hardly seen a wasp up here ! long while now, few year ago, plenty,..(Scotland)
  11. Unique work there, mate !
  12. A did notice though, Wales, didn't follow through, or adopt , a mass badger cull, like in England,.......telling or revealing, that ! (well , to me anyway)
  13. It's the naivety, that gets me,...cause they THINK they are SAVING wildlife ! ?
  14. Damn, rise of the 'Fox shooters' (of whatever type, lazy keepers among them) with all the technology to aid them now (yes, I resent them, generally !),..& 'cage trapping' farmers !....(yes, you read right,....well round here anyway) too scared to set a snare,...with the amount of countryside recreation users , nowadays,...all helps accelerate the gradual demise of utilising a 'wire' ,.......
  15. Good for you mate ! ,...heard the farmers gonna charge YOU, for them two, if you want to keep them ! (£50 each ??)
  16. Big decrease in "badger numbers" over large areas of England now, i would have thought ?
  17. You could be, right ?? ave been told on good authority they where £100 a pop, good few years ago,....but the person who informed me, didn't want to pay £20 for one now, currently?,........its no problem, they'll be catching moles before long, hopefully ?
  18. Far too tempting to get one in a mole run, for me, a will tell you ?,...just hope I can resist ! (anybody know the value of these, boxed & unused ?,...I haven't a clue ?)
