  1. "If the Anti brigade start lobbying parliament with such pictures then i can see mole trapping being banned outright" ,....Well, am not as concerned as i once was, perhaps, about the anti brigades, lobbying ,etc,....a mean if a government, can decide to approve the LARGE SCALE SLAUGHTER ,? of what WAS, one of our most protected wild mammals, the badger,.....you have to question how much 'clout' the overall movement, actually has, when it comes down to it ?
  2. Aye well, of course, i get , where your coming from,..but, does that also mean the practise, should now be prohibited ?
  3. Ignorant, Plods, again, ffs !,....Far, as im aware, it isnt illegal, & these obvious half - wits in uniform, have no authority, to try & insist on this. They need to consult, with their own 'wildlife liason officer' (which should put them right,...although probably just as 'thick' , regarding the matter, i would bet ?) for a start !,... I really hope the said 'catcher' carries on, regardless !!
  4. There is a bloke on You Tube,..he traps the moles, & the rats, shoots the corvids & squirrels, etc,..for the farmer. Travels there & back on a 'push bike' , too ?,...a says "why aren't you charging the farmer, for moles". (for a start ?),..."ach , am just glad to be out in the fresh air, with this scenery, & the wildlife, etc" ,..he goes. I mean, the guys putting in alot of effort,etc,..farmer, must think 'this is great' !? ffs,... ,any payment, would help pay for the boys gear, surely ? ,...& I also gathered, it wasn't as if he didn't need the money ?,...him & another
  5. ?, Well , a once thought France, would perhaps be ideal, for a mole catcher, to set up ? (probably still is ?),...cause of the amount of potential new catchers, the mole catching , organisations, in the UK, were 'fast tracking' & churning out,....(seemed to becoming swamped, with them ! Iol),...but it seems the French Mole men , have cottoned on ???,...& are now providing training , etc,...(well, so I heard ?),...(I'm personally not one for abroad, mate ?,..but deffo , be good , for the right person ?)
  6. I must say,...what a great opportunity, for somebody,...your advertising there , Clive. Would need to be someone, as conscientious, as yourself, & your approach, to the job,..i would imagine ? But, any suitable candidate, would have a good mentor, in you,..(if required) & would certainly help , them along. atb, with it.
  7. Good advice, that. Its a mistake to undervalue, yourself & sell yourself, short. (i learned that, the hard way, years ago) Soon as your catching, more than your missing (tripped, empty traps/ soil filled,etc, traps) charge for it !
  8. Good questions, too. ive covered alot of that stuff in my posts , over the years, so dont want to bore anybody again, with it. Hey listen , your a good trapper already, but i think your gonna end up a really, good moleman. Your interest & enthusiam, is there, & i agree with you fully, Talpex & Putange is now saving me, valueable time, on alot of sets/situations, so i know where your coming from ? atb (genuinely) in the end,
  9. Anyway, sorry to the rest of you, for the bollocks, i helped to cause,....a will depart now from THIS thread & forum, for another long while, hopefully ? lol
  10. Really mate ? Certainly didnt know that. Interesting.
  11. I was wrong about the Talpex & Putange. ( but hey, i kinda knew) They are both well, up to the job. Once i started paying them, attention.
  12. no mate, not old , but old enough for you,..
  13. "refusing to go to them",...you DONT bother me enough, mate ? ,....what you gonna do ?,...cause im 'shaking in my boots here" lol.....it was me that OFFERED you, IF your bothered ?,...
  14. oh dear,.....patronising tendencies,...ah well
  15. friend of mine up here ,quite dedicated, trying to get any awkward ones,...lamp shy & all that ? (& he still prefers shooting them on the lamp, rather than night vision, apparently ?)
  16. Well, seen enough of it done, on the ground & the consequence ?,...but im no fan of guns, & the itchy trigger finger , brigade either, for that matter, although nothing personal,...
  17. snaring ?,....i have been trying it mate,...& very late too it, i am,....poor old coneys,...what happened to them all these days ? ,..right art that is,...& i knew f**k all, & still need life time of practise, i bet,...too late probably
  18. dont appreciate that comment , either,....
  19. dropping foxes ? ,...all too easy, mostly, from what ive witnessed ? maybe, the only thing you could drop , right enough ? ha ha ha
  20. No, sorry ,your wrong. im no different to path your taking. only no internet, & advice, etc, everywhere ,like now ? made all the mistakes, best i got was a couple o tips over the phone , from an english pro, when at my wits end. lol. Everybodys entitled to go moling,...& its encouraging to see folk, getting better at it,etc ( even yourself ?,...didnt fail to notice your getting better & more experienced,...its all good,... you dont know me,...ive helped 3 or 4 lads,..competitors they are too now , by f**k ! ha ha) & of course im not gonna turn up at your door ? your never gon
  21. Your still a f****n amateur/novice, as well,..so don't think otherwise, & delude yourself,.....since you want to push it
