    Tom, Has he been running through fields that have been sprayed with pesticides etc? I had a similar thing years ago - bramble scratches infected with crop spray OTC

    You won't find a better patriot for Fenn traps, they don't exist. BUT, if DB Springs who now make the trap under license, would just beef up the springs (that they actually make themselves) then the Fenn spring trap would be MUCH better IMO And they risk losing their status and/or their fan club if they do not keep up with the competition for really humane traps. Alan Fenn would turn in his grave ... OTC

    Yes, they are a similar design to the Fenn and Springer, and equally legal (on the STAO) but they have stronger springs www.solwayfeeders.com/categories/spring-traps-c193.html

    Yes, you're quite right Matt, but many of the helpful and informative trappers have long gone from here and they have been replaced by nit-pickers who delight in ruining threads, or belittling folk, rather than constructively helping others. That is not to say that no good can come of it, in time, but that is, I think, a fair reflection of how it is right now IMO

    I actually agree with you Eddie - a lot of trappers do not post on here for fear of being shot down in flames by someone or other and prefer to keep things to themselves, even if they are on the right side of the law, wherever they may be from. There's always someone who disagrees with something and makes painful reading when they do. A lot of misguided and opinionated folk will take great pleasure in shooting you down too. Just my opinion OTC

    I always use wooden pegs and find a wooden mallet splits the peg tops far less than a metal one. My mallet - made from the horizontal side shoot of an established holly tree as the handle and the 'trunk' part as the mallet head - has lasted me for a long time. To dig the trap bed out I have a billhook, that I also use for knock back vegetation, cutting brash etc if I need it but I find I rarely have to use it for setting traps I have seen various contrivances made for setting traps over the years, some decades old, and it is up to you what you use in the situation you need it for.
