After reading through a few other discussion regarding the fenn mk6 being the only commercially available rabbit trap, in which to set in holes, and with many regarding it as being far less humane and simply not for the job as the jubys and imbras were, I thought a discussion on what would make a more effective, yet lightweight design, possibly taking features from all the traps mentioned above would make an appropriate and possibly, interesting topic. anyone with suggestions on what they believe makes the fenn not so ideal for the job and how it could be improved (possibly the ideal desi

I was wondering weather to smoke the holes out but as i can only find o

1st make sure the trap is the correct way round you would be susprised how many dont. 2nd rub your hands in soil. 3rd allow the trap to rust a little this will make it less visible to thiefs and the rabbits. 4th dont use materials from another location to help cover the trap. 5th try to place in very well used tunnels not bolt holes youve seen the rabbits just run into.
