    On the contrary, you possibly might be capable of penning your own ? ,.....lol (might be an interesting read ? ? ?),.....i wont hold my breath, though ? lol,.......now, when are you gonna have the COURAGE to engage Jeff directly ? (It would probably take a visit to see the 'Wizard of Oz' for you ??),.....he's easily contactable,.......& maybe ask him for the DVD too ? Iol,........you can then tell us all here how it went ? ha ha

    If this is your comeback comment, by the way,..... it's not any better, than your last ! ? & it's obvious your struggling to keep up with this thread. ? Are you a moleman, by the way ?, i'd like to know ?......& pay attention here now, ......MOST mole trappers that ive come across, or are aware of aren't 'FIT TOO LACE THE MANS BOOTS' !!,...i reckon (& that would probably include myself too,....? Iol) & to be honest , it's not really about any CHANGES he might wish to bring about either , for me,........The other who i hold in high regard, would be Mr Bob Merrin. (for my ow

    & i might well , have to finally go back to getting a proper job again, soon ! ??

    But also in my case, it's equally been a 'labour of love'. (In truth, for me there's less to be earned at it, than some other occupations ive had before,.......& im certainly not 'well off', for it not to matter,....?)
  5. earth-thrower
    Aye, your right about that, ultimately.
  6. earth-thrower
    I certainly will,..lol,...cause youve dried up, or is it out, here ! ?,.....& anyway i would class myself as a traditional molecatcher utilising a well proven design, that came about courtesy of a fellow countryman, way back,...(Scottish shepherd !) ,......& this 'Putange & Talpex' etc,....f**k all traditional about them , for a true British mole catcher ! ,...that's for sure ?. (can't help thinking as well, they are the easy way out,... for those who struggle to get the results they want from the Duffus type,...lol)

    " Sadly none of this is actually being done with the moles best at heart " ,...you reckon ? (& you missed out 'interest' i think), ..cause i cant really see how that applies,........& "theyve been ignored a lot except by the tree huggers" ? ,......well what "tree huggers" ?,....cause ive been reliably informed that there's been disinterest overall from that side (ironically),...but, I can probably guess why,.....

    Well, i seen more hares late summer, than i had previous years. Think the long , hot , dry summer helped, here. But haven't seen any lately, either. Also, the last remaining spot , (& it's local to me) that seems to hold bunnies here, done well too, & they were spreading into surrounding areas again. Again though, they have disappeared mainly, over October/November ?. (& i wouldn't think it's the 'midnight cowboys' wholly to blame for it either !)
  9. earth-thrower
    Really ? , actually sorry to hear that , mate. Aye, its getting serious, .....& now the old hares are suffering too , apparently (got to wonder, what the hecks going on )
  10. earth-thrower
    & another,...now im not an expert (like some ?) but there doesnt seem any struggle, or the mole 'fighting' in these traps here ?
  11. earth-thrower
    Elm was apparently a wood of preference for the mole traps of old. So finally managed to get one made. This bit of hill grazing i usually just leave the moles be, but the farmer insists they are caught here now , cause he reckons they may spread back into the more productive fields round about. (Now that their clear).......was always a good spot for rabbits here also , but sadly they have gone, which is worrying, actually. In fact, i really do feel for the rabbiters at the moment,.......(even though im not much of a rabbiting man, myself)
  12. earth-thrower
    Aye, the more "points" made , then all the better ! Iol & your "hijacked thread" ??,.....well , you were thanking everyone for the most replies to YOUR thread "of all time" , previously !! Iol.
  13. earth-thrower
    f***ing hell,.....i was obviously referring to myself ? (paranoia or what with you ?) Iol ,.....& as for the rest , i have no clue what your on about ,.....( 'mole trappers' got a point alright,......but hey, i already new that,.....tbh),....you sure you haven't had a whiskey or two , yourself ? ??
  14. earth-thrower
    Why do you ask ? ? (do you doubt me ? Iol,....well , actually probably a former corporation/ council housing estate,....& now a housing association estate , with a fair amount of home owners ?),......sorry , i keep editing, cause youve caught me 'on the drink' again here ! ??
  15. earth-thrower
    "star of the show" ? ,.....nah , 'tilimangro',....he's culpable for that accolade ! ?. & "sailors talk" ??,....aye , theres bound to be some of that, when there's a Scottish council estate lad, involved ?,....a good laugh & entertaining at least, maybe ? Iol
  16. earth-thrower
    Well, Dave74, you will be chuffed with yourself, .....over 8,200 views to your "thread" now as well !! How did YOU manage this here, well done !! ?? Iol it's what this section needs i reckon ?,....(keep it up now, will you ?) Iol
  17. earth-thrower

    Not too much wrong here, as regards humaneness of capture in these "half barrels", I reckon ,....lol
  21. earth-thrower
    Well, i try too wake them all up from their slumber, at least 'mole trapper' ? ,......& I'm not 100% sure what your on about , or who your actually referring too ? (in your second paragraph), but , if you can't handle the 'heat' & all that ?,.......lol,....me, i personally never thought i was too good, or up myself enough, not to post here ?
  22. earth-thrower
    Well, you can mouth off, but your actually saying very little now,....& to the extent where it's only insults, you can resort too,.....

    Thanks for sharing here, Phil. & i agree with your sentiments entirely, regarding the old "snow". I eventually had the opportunity to use the stuff, for a short time myself. (an ex keeper venturing into pest control ,took me on board for his mole jobs. He insisted on the 'gas' firstly (would you believe ?) then strychnine , for all larger area work,....he didn't last long at the game , however) & at least it gave me the experience to know what it was like. No fun at all, really ! ,...lol,...for a start. Love the photo, .....& what's that 'earth implement' resting on your shoulder t
  24. earth-thrower
    & the overwhelming response to the biocides & pesticides (group) at the EC, (when they invited reaction, before the final decision) where trying there best to hold on to Strychnine, loads of them all panicking how they were gonna control their moles now, without the poison , as the traps were no use, (especially over larger areas, etc),....lol,.......in fact Jeff's response was that comprehensive, (detailed trap versus poison comparison, it was) & totally dispelled the shite being put about poison being 'essential' etc,....& it makes me laugh how EVERYONE wants to bang on about
  25. earth-thrower
    lol,....you still failed to answer what i asked you fella, & that tells me enough,.....(cause you probably couldn't)
