These snails are often called the Roman snail (Helix Pomatia), thought to have been brought over with the romans, the area of the cotswolds i was born in has a lot of these, this area was also an extremley major roman centre. These are the ones you pay a fortune for in french and italian resturants, known as escargot, Our common snail, which the french call petit gris, (helix aspersa), is equally edible, and personally my favourite, in the shell, tossed in melted garlic butter. :tongue4:

bugger when it goes like that, i am looking at securing the transmitter collar better to the ferret, trouble is doing it in such a way as not to impede the ferret any more than a collar does normally, hmm.

what juckler said about the army, i think it was on whiteway estate near exeter, the marines used to play at night, the gamekeeper back then got them using nv to look out for poachers, one night they spotted a person so they snuck up on him and pounced, poor fu...[bANNED TEXT] nearly shit his pants and came close to having a coronary, he was the shepherd checking on his animals. anybody remember the gimmicky stuff of the eighties like the blue eye and the clear eye.

fpo i would have thought it more apprpriate if you were a wolf, you seem to do a lot of howling at night.

i think i am right in saying you will find its twelve years not five, my old man lives on his farm over in wales. he just got it sorted last year , he can now build a single storey dwelling, but only the same size as the static hes been hiding away in or some such BS. Anyway its fu...ng stupid anyway this pr..k blair is letting half of the dross of europe in here and we were already overcrowded ,theres not enough housing, but funny isnt it were not allowed to do this, and yet not a mile from me is a fu...ng diddy with about ten acres full up to overspill with poles living in squallor in two be

as tight as a ticks ass. act in haste ,repent at leisure. never a truer word spoken. many a true word spoken in jest.

my god i had forgotten all this stuff, brought up on a farm, or should i say brought my self up on a farm, at seven had my first airgun, at nine had a bolt action fourten , at eleven had a side by side twenty bore, all of these i would just go for miles around on my own, me mum and dad would just leave me to it . once my jobs were done, my time was my own. Fell into a swollen river and remember being under the water seeing all the fresh water shrimps and thinking time to get to the bank before i drown. You could ramble on for years about the stuff that happened. Dont know if there were social

What i am after is some input on what to use for the springers you attach to the snare, i have caught rats quite well over the years and always used hazel, trouble is it doesnt stay springy very long. Started a new rat job on a farm today absolutley heaving in them, brilliant super highways everywhere, got me rat snares, just need a better spring to attach them to any one invented anything for this. By the way only trying this as another form of control, put down nearly 30 kg of bait today.

just my opinion but this whole argument reminds me of when we all (hopefully) stood together up london and gave up a few days and not at inconsiderable cost to some of us, to stand up for the fox hunting people, hopefully through commeraderie,and mutual respect, inevitably hunting was banned. Within weeks the CMW is getting a steady flow of letters from disgruntled fox hunters ranting on about lamping blood thirsty maniacs rampaging around the countryside maiming foxes, and if this is allowed to carry on foxes would be wiped out in this country. blah blah. Forget the sour grapes ,lifes to shor

just as paulus said, i to sold my 17, expensive ammo, after i bought it couldnt really see the point in it, .22 does one job , 22.250 does the next, just had to try one to see what all the fuss was about. Like they say one mans meat is anothers poison, some people love them, personally i wouldnt give one space in my cabinets again.

hey eamon , i only wish the first one was a joke.

Ethics dictate you should never take a head shot because of the high risk of blowing the jaw off, however i have done it once or twice, but only when the deer was either facing directly away or towards me. Eitherway hit, or clean miss , ok or a glancing blow, which will be fatal or superficial wound. personally chest shot first choice ,second low neck, head if there is no other choice and its close. Even then i would rather let it go for another day rather than risk it.

i have to make some space for a new rifle that is coming, after much deliberation i have decided to sell my Hush power 12 bore fully moderated single barrel folding shotgun, i bought a slab of no 6 subsonics with it there are still 246 cartridges left, in other words its fired 4 shots,. It is as quiet as they say it is, about the same as a spring airgun without a moderator, they would never win a beauty contest , but then neither would i. From a dealer you would be looking at £380 plus another£35 for the slab. i am open to sensible offers. PLEASE NOTE, SHOTGUN CERTIFICATE MUST BE SEEN. if i

have for sale 26 imbra traps, all in good working order, springs good, very little use. surface rust only. as anyone interested will know, these are like rocking horse s..t to get hold of in any quantity. You can buy them individualy on e bay at rediculous prices, have a look. However i am not looking for silly money just sensible offers as i want to use the money for nets. if someone wanted to buy them and sell them individualy they could make a nice bit on them. personally i dont have the time. if anyone is interested please pm me.

probably too far for you ,but if you ever end up down south west, your welcome to come out ferreting or lamping foxes,or rabbits. i know this is hardly dudley or wolverhampton ,but the offers there.
