Some impressions from our new traps

Hi John, I haven't taken morr pictures at the moment. But if you are interested in general you can have a look at these pictures: https://www.google.de/search?q=wipprohrfalle&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=X2DWUKTJKeTw4QTd1oGYCQ&biw=1540&bih=840&sei=Y2DWUI8G6oziBLy5gNgI https://www.google.de/search?q=wipprohrfalle&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&tbm=isch&source -

Hi Erik, may I ask how do you get to know those traps ? Would have thought nobody out of Germany would be so "stupid" to do such an investment ? These pictures show the second step in our trap plan. The first four traps are out there for about 3-4 years and I am very happy with them (compared to our old traps) -
He folks, I am from Bavaria (south Germany). Merry Christmas and some quiet holidays

Here in Bavaria we are not allowed to use wire cages, and also no snares, foot hold traps etc. I know snaring and those cages from a friend of mine in Spain. Thats why we have to use those monsters -

Different possibilities: 1. Wire trap (cage) where to predator goes inside when you open one slider (or you push him through) 1.1 Shoot him with a .22lfb 1.2. Shoot him with a shotgun You install a box with a Super X / Conibear trap and release the predator -

Yes. Legislations will (in my opinion) forces us in a couple of years to only use those. So we will prepare for it. what new laws are coming out We see a left and green movement in German politics (for example in the federal state Nordrhein Westfalen I expect a deep going changes in hunting laws). Dead traps will be forbidden, partdiges will be closed etc. -

3 foxes called in on night
XXHunterXX replied to XXHunterXX's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Yes, they were all pretty healthy. In our region there is no Räude and Staupe (caniden diseases). Well, it seems there is no limite in new incoming foxes. Last years we had about 1 fox on 10 hectar. -
I am from the south of Germany. In comparison to the area you already know (Mosel) we have no wild boars. But times are changing at the moment. In general we have about 3-4 boars a year. This year our neighbors shot about 6. Most of the wild boars here are shot from high seats. It must be rough hunting up in Scotland ?

Thank you very much

On the last picture: You have got the metal frame. At both ends you have two sliders (vertical) which close the tubes. In an 90 ° angle each slider has got a round steel welded on where the slider will be hold in the upper position. Through the whole frame goes a round steel in the top where three "fingers" (round steels) are attached. Two at the end which hold um the sliders and on in the middle of the frame where the upper end of the see-saw is attached. In the middle of the frame you set up a metal construction similar to a see-saw on top of the frame. Then you place three concret -
This autumn a friend asked us to helpe him out with some foxes in his fields. So we went there. It was a very quiet night. The light from the town was reflecting at the clouds. After some nice dinner we went out at about 23:00. We called at 7 different places. 7 foxes showed up but we only got three of them. At four in the morning we stopped calling and went home. All foxes had been shot with the .22-250

HI, here are some impressions from our new traps. Because of upcoming changes in hunting law we are preparing with some new kinds of traps. It takes quite a time to set it up. But hopefully it will do its job for a very long time (if we have chosen the right place ;-) )
