Its better around here than it was in 54 f**k micky are in your seventies and on the net. I like ot see the old ones getting with the technology You are lucky lads over there here in Ireland we have a few hot spots across the country and they are not that hot anymore, there is too much rain over here. I would only dream bout bags of forty and fifty I dont think I have ever had over the twenty mark ferreting or Lamping. No mate 61 and thats not old see how fast you catch up

Leicestershire,the soil on this particular farm is a light loam ,it drys and warms quick,but as soon as the weather turns cold it knocks them back a month,ihave found where the land is sandy they will start much earlier than where its clay ,so you should be ok for a week or two

Ipacked in ferreting this farm in january,then there was lots of young rabbits hopping about,and all the does were ready to pop,since then i have snared a few rabbits there including quite a lot of 3/4 grown,as i have not caught any pregnant does since the last cold snap i gave it another go,i had 2 hours this morning and got 21 two bucks and 19 does, two does had pea sized young ,and none of the others were showing milk

I have thought about the 6 inch RBG also ,i think a rabbit might pass through one more readily than a standard magnum in some situations,also the trigger wires could be shaped to allow very young rabbits through without fireing the trap .Whats your thoughts on them.

Hi stephen, not sure what you mean re-set? the trap is fired? can see how it looks with the top bar but this is just from the angle i took the photo from, the trap fits snug into that tunnel and the spring gap is two inches wide, again its just the angle of the photo that might make it look smaller Foxy picture looks snide to me
