  1. i run a LOT of nets that moles and fire wood keep my "busy" ive just got in from doing mine ive got 500m out 300 of that is 50mesh deep 4.3/4 inch multi mono and the other is 200m or trammel for the turbot and sole. alan has a better way with words than me so i will leave the majority of advice to him but. for me i use any thing for anchors from leaf springs to fishboxes but most are 19 inch squares of ply or 2ft lenghts of scaffholding boards burried in the sand as deep as i can get them.. end achors are in deep but along the lengh are not so deep i have 50 odd anchors in on my beach an
  2. even worst is when it looks bad and for some unknow reason you think " yeh we can alway call back up" great untill you hit sand a foot down and your looking at a over 4m dig.....

  4. I have never said it but feck it if only you were closer me eather i would have 10 sheets!
  5. we talk about the same thing a lot round us,,well almost the same thing ;ie derrick bird. he was goind thru my area shooting people just like that. he killed 3 of my freinds one a very close freind if i had been comeing home from shooting and seen him doing his deeds...then i would have shot him, not sure if i would have shot him in the arm or leg or fully zapped him with a 55gr balistic tip but i would have. same goes for the question asked if i seen a single person or armed group doing a hit then i would do what was required to stop them. and being blunt any one with half a set of balls
  6. john noblets dog that.......hand in hand with the man himself
  7. wow what a pillock! any news when the next film will be out?

  9. speaking from experiences, their is VERY VERY Few things that will ruin a drive or drives or even clear birds from a large area of land like a gos.... like all birds of prey its never so much the killing of the birds that is the problme thou it can be! its the scare factor. even seen a cover of partriges look up a plane passing thousands of feet over head? or run for cover at the same thing...how is a bird with such a inbuilt fear of flying things going to handle being mobbed and "buzzed" by something as well adapted to killing as a gos
  10. well i used to look after and manage 5 ponds that were hired out under contract to gleneagles hotel,they averaged 14 foot deep 40m wide and meters long most in a off oval. and we aimed to have 40-50 fish in each,
  11. Thought about looking at that, although I don't drink, just for the fun of doing it. Heard it's easy to make yourself really ill though, even blind. its something to do with the ethanol in it i think a friend of my uncles makes it and he said its dodgy gear. Id like to try some proper stuff though not something some arsehole made in his shed depending on your running temp and batch it will be the first 5 or 12% of produce...called the devils dram. this is normaly thrown onto the still fire for good luck. its drinkable and only in large amounts is dangerous but i wouldent recomend it you

  15. Please correct me if im wrong,Perthshire, but is there not already footage of yourself, on youtube.Setting a talpex type, mole trap ? (im guessing,by the way !) lol haha indeed their may be, put on for a member of this site P.S i was half way thru writing a witty reply to volpe but got about 4 words in and thought "ahh f**k it" on a side note i picket up a farm today that the man himself used to do.........
  16. yes and yes! ive been bitten by one trying to pick it up as a kid
  17. Oooooh,..a bit awkward,for you ?,......maybe. lolDon't take this the wrong way Pk but I don't think you will be any competition to the master moleman granda Bob Merrin why would that be? i work the same number of traps as him,have roughly the same percentage as him.on foot as he dose and i work ground he dosent and he works ground he has had for years? gradad bob aside for a moment but........ theirs only so much better a GOOD mole catcher can be to the next one. their the same moles in the same runs with the same traps and yes their is the odd trick and tweak to it but once your good
  18. Oooooh,..a bit awkward,for you ?,......maybe. lol ive nothing for respect for bob he is a gent of the highest king! and i bloody good "mawdy" man and got his traps are a work of art, mine aint quite as good yet
  19. bob is one of a kind! he showed me all my mole trapping and its a shame that now ime his main competition in the area

  21. well....their is a fenceing team working on the farm next door (that i also trap on) but used a field on the far side of the road belonging to the client to get to the job...2 days back the lad (about my age) about my age stopped by the gate and said hi as i was setting a trap,him being a ag worker i thought nowt of it and kept working away now this job is up croasdale back in the arse end of no-where and he was the only person to see me... that and their is quad tracks going from trap to trap in the fecking field! and the client dosent take his quad onto thease fields because its 2mile from
