    Spent a bit of time on the trapperman forum. Very interesting to see how things are done elsewhere, although some useful tips that can be applied to mink over here. Novice

    That looks like a cracking set up! I'm a bulky no mates and can't stretch to a private charter, but will get in touch and see if they've anyone who will share a charter. Cheers Novice

    That would be great. Thanks Novice

    Very nice! Any idea which outfit he went with? Novice

    Looking at June, which I understand to be right in the middle of the best time for a lot of the big lads, Marlin and some kg the tuna species. I appreciate that they won't be stacked up to be caught but I'd settle for a good scrap with a tuna of any species or size. Novice

    Has anyone done any big game fishing off Madeira? If so, any recommendations on who to go with? Novice

    You must have different upturned split bellied rabbits to me, as they always don't at this end ? Still looking. Novice

    Thanks Eddie. To be fair I contacted John at fourteenacre and it turned out to be a glitch in his system which meant the individual option wasn't available. I've bought two and a couple of other bits, so well happy. Excellent service, which ties in with what I've heard on here. Novice

    Can anyone give a steer on the cheapest place to buy a couple of body grip 116 traps? Wanting to try a couple alongside my mk6 fenns in a blind set scenario for mink. Don't want to stretch to the 5 minimum order that seems to prevail at fourteenacre, plus the postage seems steep from them. Cheers Novice

    Anyone got a spare call bird for a Larsen to get me started this year? Magpie preferably. North Cheshire. Novice

    I'd imagine the estate are trying to get a balanced population across the age groups and allow the bucks to reach their full trophy potential. Any antlered buck in a group of fallow tends to draw the eye and will often end up getting shot. Not good for population reduction and not good if you're a buck ? This is one of the reasons why a wild medal head in fallow is so rare. Novice

    Sounds like a good day. Perhaps if more estates and landowners took the time to organise similar days then the fallow population wouldn't be in the state it's in. Novice

    Yeah that'll be it. I'll give them a call myself at some point but wondered if anyone else had heard in the meantime. It'll be a pain if they have folded. Their collection round was massive and I dread to think how many head of game they handled. Their chiller was also really handy for summer bucks as well. Novice

    If you looked at it outside opening hours it would come up as closed. Anyone else heard anything last few days? Novice

    ?? Website working, still accepting game when I was directly involved earlier in the week. I'd appreciate a link if I've missed something. Novice

    You mean, it's locked up? Have you been down there today? Novice
  19. novice
    Certainly not saying you're wrong. Something's probably going on behind the scenes. Novice

    Not true, but flying close to the wind I think. I dropped a carcass off there yesterday. He's only paying for game that's dropped off though. Nothing if he has to collect. Novice

    I thought the lure on the goodlife trap was species specific? So if the lure is stoat specific (presumably based on scent made from glands or similar) then it's unlikely to attract a hedgehog? Also from the demo footage I've seen, the trap entrance was vertical and likely difficult for a hedgehog to enter (I suppose the entrance size could also be adjusted to exclude hedgehogs?). I appreciate the point you're making, given that the trap can specifically be set for hedgehogs, but just wondering how real the threat actually is? Novice

    Thanks Phil. Intention is for a focused campaign in the spring so will hopefully post about my experiences on here. Novice

    Always been happy with mine. Puts out a decent line

    I'm guessing you can also dig them in as required to ensure the optimum clearance on the roof to avoid the target being thrown clear of the trap? Novice
  25. novice
    Out of interest, can you recall the size you used? Novice
