Hi Mole Trapper - yes very similar especially the armouring using bead board and the lid thats fits over the top - I like it ? I might add a lip around the feed shelf like yours to save waste. I use a fence panel security bracket for where the feed come out like this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-Fence-post-clamp-Security-bracket-Anti-Rattle-Fence-Panel-Security-Free-Post/283339181401?hash=item41f854cd59:g:MEsAAOSwd0BVwdfs:rk:6:pf:0 Cheers, Dave. p.s. I also catch moles when not on the squirrels lol

Hi Mole Trapper. I have spinners which are good but wanted the precision Shoot-N-C targets give for added confidence. So it was just a case of putting a screw into the feeder then hanging the pellet trap on it. The pellet trap is obviously a good way of presenting the targets plus it stops the pellet damaging the feeder/tree etc. Once zero has been established then I simply remove the pellet trap but I could equally leave it up as I doubt I would bother the squirrels - lol. Also the picture gives an interesting comparison between the zero target and the kill zone on the squirrels head

Cheers lads :-) Rez - the ragged hole on the paper target is 5 pellets and I did click windage a couple a times to the right between the shots to get them more central so it might had been tighter had I not done that. However the group is good enough compared to a squirrels head as you can see on the picture. The black targets are Shoot-N-C 1" discs and the group is under a 5p piece which is the yard stick. My feeder is set at 20 metres which is close enough to ensure humane head shots but far enough away not to spook the squirrels as I line up on them. The other shots was me the

Another decent session on the feeder this morning. These 3 squirrels make 30 in about 2 months and bagged the pigeon just as I was packing up. Before the session I zeroed on the top right target so I knew the AA S510 & .177 H+N FTT combo were bang on. atb,, Dave.

If you wonder down this track here you will find some permissive land through the first wooden gate you come to :- https://www.google.c...244c89ca0?hl=en Walked around there the other day and saw quite a few rabbits and some hares too.

Hi Chaps, Finally got round to making my first squirrel feeder - see attached pics. atb, Dave

Hi Ray - looks like you are getting on well with those Talpex traps mate. I read somewhere that a mole runs his complete tunnel system in 3 days but as said above if they are handy to check then more often is better as sometimes you can reset and catch multiple moles from one trap site. If after a few days they trap stops catching and all activity has stopped then probably time to lift the trap. atb, Dave.

Snap-E mouse trap http://www.ratbait.co.uk/snap-e-mouse-trap-751-p.asp Snappa Mouse Bait Box http://www.ratbait.co.uk/snappa-mouse-bait-box-818-p.asp Baited with crunchy peanut butter.

As Nod says there is a entry hole on both sides of the box which does not show up on the picture. The box is a Snappa Mouse Bait Box designed for the Snap-E trap so actually it was a spot on catch as the trap funnels them in to the trap. Here is a better pic.

Caught this cheeky chap this evening. atb, Dave.

What Mole Traps For Beginner?
davedavedave replied to justjohn's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
Only my opinion but I think the genuine Talpex trap is the easiest trap to use but you wont go far wrong with good quality duffus traps either. -
Hi Brian - I took my Air Arms S510 to Carl Garbett at Airtech for a full service and to have a regulator fitted. I chose Carl as he lives just a few miles from where I work in Telford so I could drop the gun off in person, chat to Carl plus his workmanship is excellent as he comes highly recommended. I have collected my gun today so will try it out over the weekend and I am sure the results will be brilliant. atb, Dave,
