  10. just a little update 9 greys this week ,the thing is i am only trapping a 30yd square area next to one of the shoots pheasant feeders ,9 is a lot to be visiting this size area unless there is a vast amount of greys anyone know how far they will travel to feed ?? ,am paticularly happy catching these two both cages had been empty d of the maize twice without the trigger going off ,so today was the unlucky day for them to try a steal it ,i had a nice surprise on the way out this nice buck wanted his picture taken si i obliged cheers rob
  11. well i went back today to lift the fenns another grey was too greedy and paid the price ,i left the 4 cages set and collected two more cages from woodga top gear , i will put them down tomorrow after work ,i spotted this roe feeding on the way out ,its funny how close they feed to busy streets this was about 200 yds from a housing estate with kids and dogs shouting barking , , you think they would feed further in the 800 acres for less disturbance ,deer not my quarry so dont know hey ho til the next time
  12. well i knew there would views on this everyone has one thats why i posed the question been back tonight before coming on here and reading the replys i will lift the fenns tomorrow after work and cage trap until i reduce the grey peril ,caught another 3 tonight 2 to the fenn one to the cage thanks for taking the time as i have said there is now 15 people in the syndicate with only two reds viewed both being a mile from these ,yes i know they can travel ,i just could not handle a an accidental catch so they will be removed , iwill have words with me master trap builder to knock up some more cage
  13. i got good gear , i wonder where i got that from :whistle: :whistle: them traps do the biz
  14. small cage traps worked fine for me i was trapping grey squigs ,i had the cage baited with peanuts not salted ,and maize i had one in this trap and another on top of the other shelter i bet the second jay caught was calling his mate worse than sh1t for luring him there they will come to check them out
  15. well its been a while since i had my traps out working on reducing the greys ,the wood i am trapping in does have some reds thats why been using more cage traps than fenns or springers ,just wondered what other people s thoughts are trapping in areas where there is some reds? i have only seen one red is this wood last year not seen any since other people in the shoot have seen odd reds too anyway todays catch ,3 cage traps one fenn
  16. richie this is what the top looks like ,its made by lauderdale engineering like a pit fall trap really this one woodga is emptying is set wrong it was put in by the farmers mate , as they as best set thru the fence and on an angle so the rabbit running along the fence can run straight into it without having to run into then thru the tunnel hope this helps cheers rob
  17. its been a little while since i been out with the finn fire so woodga invited me to see if i could remember which way you hold the rifle ,anyway i did the driving and lamping he did the shooting the lad i work with steve came along for the ride and shot one himself he was over the moon at his first rabbit with the rimfire his smile said it all ,i have to admit woodga was on top form as usual not many escaped his advances an eye in the grass was al that was needed for him to home in heat seeking missile style , :whistle: ,all in all not the perfect lamping night but we done fine it
