    Definitely mate ! lol,....easier for transporting on foot, was the reason (& to fit in the old mole bag) Then something 'Phil Lloyd' put to me in an old post, at the time, came to mind. He says (of the top picture) they dont really look all that " comfortable" ,......well Phil , i think i get you now,.... lol ( & you were probably right !)

    Dave74, do you really think i give a f**k what YOU or 'smithie', or ANYBODY else on here thinks, for that matter, (cause your one of the ones (since i interjected again, latterly) thats only on this thread to be carried along 'for the ride', it seems, anyway. ?) & to conclude im not PERSONALLY interested in trying to stop anybody else, use what mole trap they want, or work however they want ?,......its just not on my agenda. That dvd exists alright,......problem is some of you are all f***ing experts these days (like f**k ! ha ha well think yous are, i reckon),.........& where were

    It's fine,.....you'd have been next, anyway ?

    I always seem to be messing with my implements ?, after a while , it seems,.....

    Thanks, for that answer,.....as im just trying to inform myself further, regarding my query. I knew you would answer ?,...but , i did ask the other guy ? Iol,........(Sorry , about sourcing a dvd , but im certain that info was on the back cover)
  6. earth-thrower
    lol,..its been pointed out to me before that, but i wont be stopping it. Now , is that your contribution here ?,..cause perhaps youd have been better saying f**k all ! ,....& your comment regarding Jeff,....well, your definitely qualified to be the judge of that overall, are you ?
  7. earth-thrower
    I hear you,...lol

    "they are efficient and humane killing tool" ?,.....just curious, (cause of your confidence in them ?) where does YOUR putanges strike the mole to guarantee this ? Also how does your mole pass on... would you know if its from cardiac arrest, or unconsciousness (which its not possible to awake from ?),.....or is it even asphyxiation ? or something else ? (another condition from the injury inflicted, possibly ?)
  9. earth-thrower
    A dont think names were mentioned
  10. earth-thrower
    All good questions,......
  11. earth-thrower
    No vets appeared in the video.
  12. earth-thrower
    Sorry Dave, but you could also argue thats just to simple an explanation, for it all, too ?
  13. earth-thrower
    Your good here, (honestly),.....& you seem well capable of debating this with the man himself ?
  14. earth-thrower
    Now , i actually am interested on your perspective regarding all this,...truly,......but im just wondering is it wise for me to keep it all going with you, cause (obviously perhaps ?) im going to take exception to some of what you put here ? ha ha
  15. earth-thrower
    I actually wish i was more educated on the matters presented in the film, then i could perhaps be absolutely (100%) certain, where i stood exactly. ,.....but it was convincing ? It goes into alot of detail on the moles anatomy, etc , with a plus size model of a moles skeleton, to help demonstrate. Alot about types of trap strikes, by the different traps, & possible causes of death, this would bring about ? talk about force required in a spring, etc, best place for a mole to be struck with the correct force, so it can expire with the least amount of suffering, etc, Alot of medical terms us

    Its a pity , mate. Try your best to source a copy, cause as far as i know Natural England , Mammal Society, Countryfile, DEFRA, & loads more bodies, have been sent it ? (even the wildlife trusts,....i would contact any of the them & express your interest as a mole contoller, see if they would oblige you ?)
  17. earth-thrower
    I enquired direct there for you, by the way ?,...dont think hes interested in sending you the film,.....& suggested lets hear your & the rests evidence, about the actual cause of death, your preference of trap inflicts on the mole ? lol
  18. earth-thrower
    Aye, i would be willing to request that for you ? So I will enquire & certainly let you know.
  19. earth-thrower
    I got loaned it, but i can get my own copy when the author , burns more off, im told.
  20. earth-thrower
    You know, that's very good of you to offer, and thanks,... but im stuck in my ways now & the future for me commercial mole trapping is very uncertain, cause my circumstances have changed recently. Also the volume of mole work here, isn't quite what it used to be, so any money (to be made) isn't as easy got now, & i can see it probably going downhill for me , as i go on for a while longer. Iol. I can tell this as well cause I seem to be happy setting this modern version of the old wooden barrel trap, (for enjoyment) which takes me a fair bit longer to set than a Duffus, etc (& ive
  21. earth-thrower
    I see,...
  22. earth-thrower
    Really interesting, stuff,..
  23. earth-thrower
    So you still tinker with it a little, or is it not essential ?
  24. earth-thrower
    Yes , i see what your saying here, overall, but you cant guarantee what size mole your targeting as far as your first point is concerned ?
  25. earth-thrower
    Incidentally, "they are efficient and humane killing tool straight out of the box" ? ,....I thought i learned that you secure the trigger somehow, as far as the distance where you place it between the prongs, is concerned, to help ensure a suitable catch ,.........would that be right ?
