    This one ain't a mole !.....(last trap o the day, too)
  2. earth-thrower
    Not strictly,...on both points
  3. earth-thrower
    Nice run,....
  4. earth-thrower
    Maybe mate ?
  5. earth-thrower
    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 ?
  6. earth-thrower
    Wish I could catch them in this position, every time with the talpex,...

    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)

    It's the naivety, that gets me,...cause they THINK they are SAVING wildlife ! ?

    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' ,.......

    Good for you mate ! ,...heard the farmers gonna charge YOU, for them two, if you want to keep them ! (£50 each ??)

    Interesting stuff, mate. ?
  17. earth-thrower
    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 ?

    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 ?)
  19. earth-thrower

    Thing is now though, with this new snaring legislation, in Scotland..that wouldn't be allowed, anymore ! ??,...you CANNOT set a snare (on any good run) running under or through a fence line, now ????, indeed, you can't hang one ANYWHERE where there's even the slightest risk of entanglement, etc , to the target animal

    I wouldn't try & snare any type of hare here, often,..just occasional,...but I do remember the keeper actually got my mate a bit of paid work for hares once (at least 20 year ago now,....), he was a ferret , & dog man,..& the landowner sold this ground to the regional park, to be planted up with trees , & public access, etc Anyway, they were obviously too tight for proper fencing,..& I remember he was to snare the whole boundary, cause when the saplings got planted, the hares where going in & nipping them off, etc (no guards on them, & a can't actually remember if t
