Wouldn't it show more respect for ye quarry, yeself and ye fellow Trappers to just cut those things up for scrap. Get Woodga's DVD and see how to make and set proper wires, properly? Or maybe unwind them and use the strands for Rat Snares, as P&G showed us?

 

Just seems a weird policy to set out with what ye know to be a crap tool and try to make a good job.

Fair comment, mate. And I'm So glad ye didn't take my comments in the wrong heart :)

 

Listen, I'm just entering my Really busy period of the night, but expect a PM by the time ye get out of bed ~ I work Very late!

 

If I forget, remind me. I'll pass ye some tips, might help ye out in those circumstances. I'm no " Snareman ", but I've 'been there' ;)

We have stumbled upon two fields like that, and these are really covered in rabbits. When you arrive at the gate it looks like the field is moving as all the rabbits run to the hedges, liquid brown. We counted a section of them and then multiplied this up for the two fields and worked out there must be in excess of 300 rabbits there, I joke you not. So many, we spent a lot of the time just saying f*ck and variations on this.

 

No wonder the local residents were complaning about the damage to their garden plants.

 

We sat and shot them with the .22 for a while and they were completely oblivious to the gun (for a few days anyway).

 

Trouble is, a lot of them are up near the road and near houses so we can't use the shotty or .22. Might have to snare or bring down the air rifle.
