  1. Can someone remind me where it states that the use of 'clone traps' is legal? Is there a definitive on what constitutes a clone and, more importantly, what doesn't? Or is this as cloudy as what constitutes a tunnel/cubby? If the Duke is a clone of the BMI, why did it have to be approved, specifically? Surely the fact it is a 'clone' gives it approval in this context, and therefore viable for use on mink and rabbits, like the BMI 116? NE appear to be tying what was once a very simple procedure and legislation in knots, their 'expert on traps and trapping' needs to get his facts straight

  5. At last some one who has a bit of sense. TC Yip....kites are resigned to carrion. Only one talking sense here. Hold on here comes the bullshit train.....toot toot. Hm. I actually saw a red kite drop on a pigeon in a lane today. It started pulling it about ,when a car came round the corner and the kite flew off carrying the corpse with one foot.Not being a bird expert I'd always gone with the "little feet and scavenger" proselytists. I double checked a book and sure enough even the RSPB have no qualms about the red kites predatory ability. That doesn't mean Trapperman's poultry haven'
  6. You clearly haven't seen kites taking pheasants out of the air. I have. You'd recommend them for use in falconry then? Obviously not, I was stating a fact. No self respecting austringer would be seen dead with a kite for hunting ...

  8. Everyone knows buzzards and kites only eat worms and roadkill, like badgers
  9. You are not supposed to bath in it It can only help my success rate ... it sounds infallible ... what could possibly go wrong?
  10. You shouldn't mock it until you've tried it - I am off to order 10 gallon ...
  11. Has anyone had any success with this revolutionary new product? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mole-Juice-Trap-Attractant-significantly-increases-trapping-results-250ml-pot-/151713141394?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2352ced292
  12. Wouldn't it be easier to find a better way of marking them so you don't lose them in the first place?
  13. Nice photos Johnnyboy, surprised to see so much water in the Mellte
  14. It's called a bell rope
  15. I was up there one day and on the very top, in the cloud, drizzle and gales, was a pub sized pool table with cues and balls ... very surreal game that was!
  16. Very nice, I used to be up there twice weekly for 4 years - the walk up past the lake (Llyn Cwm Llych) to Pen Y Fan past the monument is one of my favourites Looks like you had a good day with the weather too
  17. And then put them on the shelf in the shed, next to the sonic repellents and the Beagle ...
  18. And they might be 'new' in UK but they have been sold on the Continent for a while - and only about £6-7 each ...

  21. A good question ... If you find the answer I would be interested to hear it
  22. I am at a loss to understand how you could be getting empty traps if sprung ...
  23. HPR - the nest and eggs on your last two photos look like a water rail clutch of 10 to me, the previous clutch of 5 in the photo is a morrhen
