    Good luck to you, mate,and your contact sounds like a 'top bloke'.

    Its always interesting,,, hearing how others,go about the job,...I remember a mole catcher once stated (somewhere) lol, nothings 'set in stone' ?
  3. earth-thrower
    Ha ha , why am i not surprised, at your response,...?
  4. earth-thrower
    Looks like you have been sent the "standard" size trapline, Nicepix ? The " larger size " trap, SHOULD provide a better outcome, for both you and the mole, lol if you should wish to try them,in the future ?
  5. earth-thrower
    Its confusing for me anyway ! lol maybe something to do, with the similar titles ?

    Aye mate,thats the book about 'Arthur' ,but i think there was a wee book out,about the other guy too,i meant,sorry ? Actually, i think im wrong ? 'the memoirs of a fenland mole catcher' is by Bill 'pop' Bowles,your right,....lol

    Ok, i will break the silence,mate,...lol

    As you say, its still a nice site, to have them about,at the moment,....lol

    i have braided nylon tied on to the back of mine and on to a steel peg i anchor in to the bottom of the tunnel.. sure i will lose one eventualy but not yet Not a bad idea,you have there.I have never used 'markers', if i had, i feel sure i would have had some nicked,....lol But i realise its probably a necessity,when your going to be setting alot of traps, over larger areas ?
  11. earth-thrower
    Have you lost the trap or can't find the trap site? I ask because last week I thought I'd lost a Putange, but then realised that the peg I'd put in to secure it was laid in the tunnel. I excavated a foot or so down the tunnel and found the trap attached to the scraper of a dead mole. I hadn't pegged it down securely enough and the mole had been able to drag it away before dying. It was the first time I'd caught a mole by the scraper using a Putange. Normally they crack the skull or neck. Lost the trap,mate.Bloody sheep & lambs, everywhere,thats what caused it. lol Hills well scattere

    " ultimate " spade,..lol....i wont be claiming that,either. lol

    I know what you lads mean about losing traps ? Ive lost my first 'trapline' , lol Whos got a metal detector , then ? I dont put out as many traps as some, so im usually ok,at recovering them. (if it would have been a half-barrel,i would have got it) lol
  14. earth-thrower
    Funny enough, they are,...if we mean the same thing ?
  15. earth-thrower
    Ive used 3 or 4 different tools,over the years,modified at least 3 of them.None of them were 'ideal',in the end.Its probably unlikely,that i will ever have something,thats going to be absolutely 'perfect' for the job ? lol
  16. earth-thrower
    Aye, ive heard about the other guy, too. Was there not a 'small book' out about him,also ?
  17. earth-thrower
    This kind of reminds me of " Arthur Randell ", in the 'old days',...lol (im sure you know who im talking about ?) lol i do some of the farms that he did back in the day Really mate, thats interesting.Must give you kind of a 'good feeling',being aware of that,perhaps ?
  18. earth-thrower
    well, im testing it,mate.see how it goes,..early days,....lol The main concerns, with any 'mole spade' , is getting the 'sizes' right ? lol And strength when cutting out/digging down for deeper runs. Would like to see the end results, just in case you have "the best product" ever Have fun Ha ha, i like that first sentence,thats the next most important,point ! lol " best product ever " , you certainly wont hear me say that !,...lol (even if i came close) ha ha ha Even if i just end up with a prototype, or two,for myself in the end.I will stick a picture up.But it

    "There can be no perfect spade to suit every mole trapper", i would agree with you,there.

    Think i will just make it clear now,as well.My motivation for doing it, was to get a 'mole spade' made to the dimensions,that suits me.If anybody thinks its to 'make money', then your mistaken,...lol,....cause there aint alot of money to be made, anyhow, lol. (for anybody) I wasnt even considering 'myself' as the person,who would be selling them (if you know what i mean ?) either,...lol I dont want to try and 'custom' or make/modify,something myself any more.I want 'tools' available,ready to use,and fit for purpose,straight off the shelf,so to speak.
  24. earth-thrower
    that describes me quite well some days... it want ment to offend That cheeky c*nt is a kind cheeky c*nt because he made me one too Probably just me, Moxy.I can be a bit 'sensitive',....LOL
  25. earth-thrower
    Thats the thing mate, i wanted something that primarily suits what i want ? Although, i didnt consult widely on it, i did take on board, a couple of points,one or two others put to me.It really doesnt matter to me too much,in the end, but if others did like it, there could be a possibility of making it available ?
