I've had a couple Weasels in mole runs over last few years, one with an actual shrew in its mouth as well, obviously I don't want them in my traps.

Some good advice all, I went to my nearest gun shop very recently at Clayworth to purchase some .17hmr ammo, so I bought x3 boxes of 20grns Winchesters, when I got home I found that x2 of the boxes there seals were broken so I inspected box No1 and found a mixture of types of bullet head crimping and x1 round was missing, I then moved onto box 2 with its seal broken as well and (see Photo) found that x2 of the rounds were ballistic tips one of those rounds had a very badly split case and also x1 empty shell case, I immediately contacted the shop concerned, he was very apologetic, but seemed m

That works for me too on tricky moles.

Like all Thermal the more you pay the better image quality you get IMO, I'm running thermal scope and thermal spotter both cost me a fortune but there worth it, and yes you don't have go thermal to get the job done, I also run a Pard 007 which I use for foxing it does the job.

You could ask for the site to closed for a specific day in the week for purpose of pest Control, check latest general licence for 2022.

IMO no, just a bad set or bad choice of trap.

I use a Garmin 62st GPS all the time on large golf courses, because I use markers that look like just a bit of debris, I have to to prevent traps being taken, so GPS gets me down to less than 2 mtrs, I also mostly only use putanges which are almost invisible to the naked eye to locate. When I get home I download data onto oogle earth just remind me and also a back for my own memory. It can be very easy just to mislay a trap or two so GPS is great addition to my armory.

Been out today have one doe she was full of young, (already).

I agree 16ft to scan for ferrets is far more preferred imo, together with reasonable pinpointing.

Thank you tilimangro

Anyone know were these can obtained, need to top up with a few more.

I'm sure its the impact thump of the .22 when it hits the rabbit, the noise is generated more local nearer to the living quarry not being hit, so they get spooked because generally its the only noise they hear. ?

I'm not concerned or worried about the rifle or with the accuracy or the ammo's performance that I use, just curious that if it had been a 1-12 that I might had pushed up a bit in bullet weight, but as you all say theirs nothing to worry about and that I agree with, just curious old me lol. But could it not possibly be as Ref: my first post why some rifles of same make and model might prefer a different round ? food for though.

The gun is shooting fine and accurate, I thought that I would check its twist rate just out of curiosity as I had read somewhere that mistakes in barrel twist rates can happen, also I am shooting 55 grn so just checking up on the gun.

Just check my 22.250 Tika T3x Light barrel twist rate, I am getting 1-13 after countless attempts, I am following the correct procedure, the advertised rate is 1-14 or 1-12, but it is said that mistakes can happen in production, so were am I (1-13) ? or what,anyone else had this discrepancy.
