  1. All I know is that when one of my dogs appeared to be having small fits but was still conscious, we took her to vets and was told that it was to do with her body not being able to cope with the protien levels in her food. We were at that time giving her 24% mid winter beating and working her socks off, so thought she needed something extra WRONG it was the Carbohydrates she needed rather than protien. Now running very nicely ta on 18% plus rabbits, venison bones, chicken wings etc etc Touch wood since we changed her diet, no more of the fitting behaviour. For those interested enough her con
  2. Just realised my donation has obviously run out! Could someone please remind me how to renew. Thanks
  3. Here is a few that those stripey buggers didnt get the two days leading up to me going into hospital. NO these arent out of the freezer!! "Can always tell those - they have white paws!!!" Wouldnt do anything else
  4. In a shallow run in a mossy lawn deffo a duffus type trap needed, think the others will agree on this one. Regards MT.
  5. daft question..but is there more money in the bed-bugs and domestic work ?or is it it poss to make a decent living in rural work..would love to do rural.. does anyone on here actually make a living doing rural pest control etc etc... i would love to stop doing my present job ASAP. There are a few of us on here making a full time living out of rural and doing ok out of it, BUT and it is a big but, it takes years to get to that stage, in my case 9 years, the early years were very tight. And ditto what DS said, makes me cringe everytime i read " i have ferrets and a cur and some nets, am th
  6. contact moley he,s the pro. moletrapper, now retired from moling Where not worthy, only fu....g with you mate.
  7. Hell this problem is way bigger than i imagined, Moley, would i be right in guessing you charge by the body count if you count them as a loss aswell ?, only reason i ask is that there is a bloke local to me trying to get in on the act at the moment , he is going around all the farms telling the farmers he only charges £10 a mole, the farmers are laughing him off the place, he says that is cheap, they say not when J has been here and had 15-25 out of one field and i have x number of fields. All the best, and hope the new job going well.
  8. i CAN HONESTLY SAY I HAVE NEVER YET FOUND ONE AFTER BROCK HAS TAKEN THEM, I ALWAYS JOKE WITH THE CUSTOMERS THAT IF YOU OPENED UP A BADGER SET YOU WOULD FIND MOLE TRAPS ON THE MANTLE PIECE AS ORNAMENTS. oops sorry about the shouting, cant be arsed to retype.
  9. Seen that set up of yours before, good idea that. My old man is still farming over near Newcastle Emlyn, you want to get over that way, people ask him all the time if he will clear their moles, he is 74 now though so he is not intereseted. All the best, MT.
  10. Just wondering today whether this is just a west country thing or a national phenomana, I reckon at a rough guesstimate i lose between 15-20 duffus traps a year to badgers taking them with a mole in, when you go to a garden or a bit of rough pasture and you see the tell tell signs of a badger chasing a mole you know to add on for a minimum of one trap. These days i do not lose quite as many as i used to, because i try to find natural things to hand that will disguise the smell a bit, ie, fox or sheep shit, both generally available, especially the former because of their liking for curling one
  11. Seeing as you are in Yorks, contact Killgerm in Osset i believe, they do foundation courses etc, failing that get in touch with the BPCA, expensive but considerd as the industry standard.
  12. All of my centrefires bar one have been put through the forest bore foam regime, they all shoot better than i ever will, however my 22-250 which did not get any barrel conditioning of any description just got shot any old how is nothing like as accurate/ consistent, still killed a lot of foxes at some respectable distances to almost point blank. @ 100 YDS on paper it will only do around one and a half inch. Any new rifles in the future will always be treated in the correct manner.
  13. Here you go mate, 01326-573385, hopefully rommel will be able to sort you something out. I am down there in 2 weeks time doing a two day rabbit job, i might just pop in and have a look myself if i have time. Regards MT.
  14. Haven't got a phone number Moley have you? Rolfe. Which one Rolfe, i do not have the Bristol one but i could find the Helston one if you wanted it.
  15. Now come on OTC, dont beat around the bush, mince your words and provaricate say what you meen.
  16. Rolfe, when i lived up country used to see these in New Avon Arms in Bristol, failing that would almost guarantee that if you gave Rommel a shout down at Helston Gunsmiths he would have a couple knocking around. RegardsMT.
  17. Devonlad, how much wire you after, if you are not after a great deal, i might be able to spare enough for your needs and drop it by. Providing i dont get abducted by aliens or something in the meen time.
  18. Just sent off for a copy of this new book by John Bailey, lists over 500 traps covers everything, from detailed descriptions, dates of manafacture, the law,etc etc. ISBN 978-0-9555744-0-5 £19.25 (INC P+P) FROM FIELDFARE PUBLISHING, FIELDFARE HOUSE, OLD MALTHOUSE LANE, FORD, SALISBURY, SP4 6DR. Tel-01980-610139 I have nothing to do with it, in fact i did not even know it was coming out until i opened keeping the balance magazine this morning. Regards MT.
  19. Sorry Ditch, my dads is a 350, he has had it about 5 years now, i can guarantee the oil has never been checked, he would not know what a service is, and still it never misses a beat.
  20. Ditto what Ian said, my old man is 74 and is still farming sheep up in the hills, he has a small honda, gets him everywhere.
  21. For a 12 bore shotgun you only need a shotgun certificate not a FAC.
  22. You dont need one mate, it,s a shotgun, never mind it was worth a go. Regards MT.
  23. Some really helpfull stuff here lads, thanks ever so much for your input, the other thing with this rifle as i have also mentioned on airgun bbs, is whether running at only 30 ft/lbs whether i would need/ benefit from an additional silencer ?. Any views on this matter.
  24. Without trying to sound offensive, if you cannot work out how to set them, maybe you shouldnt even be trying. Took the words right out my mouth, they should come with a warning on them, "not for amateur use, exept for collection purposes only"
  25. Would you be interested in a swap, i have a very up together skb side by side 12 bore, plenty of engraving, handles very nicely indeed, it is worth about £350-£375 would be happy to make the rest up to value in cash. Give me a shout if interested. Regards MT.
