    Millet, poke an old dead branch in the bank about 10 foot from the hole - with luck they will perch before they go in and give you the chance of a photo or two OTC

    Without seeing it it is difficult to say but it sounds like it could be ringworm OTC

    That's junk for you! As I said, I wouldn't give it room ...

    I saw them at the Game Fair about 30 years ago (Queensbury - that is) and the chap was so energetic about them, he was an engineer though, not a trapper ... OTC

    If anyone does buy the Beagle to keep as an investment, DON'T remove the label!! OTC
  6. OldTrapCollector
    One came up for sale a bit ago and no-one wanted to buy it, seriously (the one M ended up with). It is such a monstrosity and too big to do anything with. I wouldn't give it room, it is that bad - one I can do without. OTC

    Pete - The fox trap was called the Queensbury - a right monster, I think they made about a dozen and sold two Moxy - the first type of Beagle mole trap is no longer available - it had a very slightly different label - semantics I know OTC
  8. OldTrapCollector
    Ahh, but do you save the first or second types ... ?? I agree that these flash-in-the-pan traps are exciting to collectors, but I equally agree that as a working trap it leaves a lot to be desired ... OTC

    I am not sure that those Canons will allow you take fuzzy pics if you use the auto function so I reckon you'd be best using manual and staying just a touch off crisp with your focussing to be true to your game Paul

    Yes that is all part of the discussion I am having with them at present Pete Since they are the protectors of the statute and it would be them that enforced any prosecution I would imagine, so I value their interpretation of the law and its idiosyncrasies And hopefully it should serve to answer the perpetual questions ... once and for all

    The DOC trap will not work without being in the tunnel box - it effectively is part of the trap. You cannot take a DOC and put it into a brick tunnel for example as you need the box to set it easily and to guide the target into the trap, hence the restriction on the STAO. Anyone who has handled the trap and understands its operation will understand why. I am doing some work with NE to define the use of tunnels within the statute so we have a directive once and for all, watch this space OTC

    The Game Conservancy Trust was talking about importing them direct from NZ and being sole supplier in the UK, as far as I know this has not happened as I have not seen any for sale here You might have to do what I did and go in person to the factory in NZ and get them yourself, LOL! OTC

    That looks like the weasel/rat combo I had Lab, looks like it was dragging it into the tunnel and sprung the trap OTC
  14. OldTrapCollector
    I have had a pair of rats twice, both times young greys I also caught a rat and a weasel in one - the weasel was pulling the rat into the tunnel and they were both caught, and a weasel and young rabbit who were both coming out of a rabbit hole together OTC

    Yes I have seen the single loop copies, they look ok but not made as well as the Fenn ones
  16. OldTrapCollector
    Wow,never seen this before ! You wouldnt happen to know ,a little about this and the loops history,would you ? Over what period, they were manufactured,for example ? 1980's
  17. OldTrapCollector
    Very nicely done Rob, am still undecided about pedestal mounts but the workmanship and pose is excellent OTC

    Fenn's double mole trap - I am looking for one of these for my collection if anyone has one (please PM me)
  19. OldTrapCollector
    Pic on the other thread
  20. OldTrapCollector
    Since they were mentioned in another thread I thought I would add some photos to illustrate traps discussed Progress mole trap made for George Wilkinson of Burnley (in original box). I have no maker's details for this trap other than what it states on the box Fenn Single Loop Mole Trap - made by A Fenn & Co
  21. OldTrapCollector
    He also made a double loop like the Duffus but the top was flat and not curved OTC

    They certainly look familiar ...
  25. OldTrapCollector
    Well the idea looks fine to me, perhaps the dimensions are a little out? It is difficult to tell
