Hit & Miss With The Moles

[DKGPestControl 22]

I tried the bird wire with a fishing clip swivel to attach quickly but found they chewed through!

In my experiance these pigs are as strong as bears..ive see what they do all the time. Tearing through a wooden door or gate is easy going for them. Ripping off good gauge wier is like opening a packet of crips for them...now all ive heard tells me that the stuff your using to teather down a mole trap doesnt make much sence...but rather a waist of time...genuinly no offence here. Stop the blabbing about fishing wier and bird wier and get some pictures up.! Lets see the materials..involved to fasten to your traps and what you use to stake it down.

You never know..i might learn somthing from you lot but at the moment i think your just dreaming stuff up. I want to see it in action before and after its been mauld by a badger...Now this will be interesting..maybe one or two of you lads carry trail recorders..lets see some footage.

Atb chaps.

If you have anything about you, you will work out your own anchor

I want to see it working..should be an easy task...Let put it this way..if that had done its job it wouldnt lool like that. Have you seen a wier fishing trace after its had a good tope on it.

That is pretty much what I had in mind Moxy, with the exception of utilising the handles on the Talpas and having a clip on system so that the wire isn't permanently attached.

 

What anchors do you use? Rebar or something else?

Well lets see it.

Probuck, have you not noticed that everyone is ignoring you now?

 

It's dicks like you that are dragging this forum down. Stop for a minute and think about the crap you've been posting lately.

The difference between SS bird wire and the galv gear.

 

Matt. I have all sorts as soil type dictates what anchor you can use. But generally a length of 20 mm rebar with an eye.

 

Clevis hitch/unions work far better than spring clips for attaching your teathers. You can just nip them up with a pair of pliers and they won't come undone.

[Matt 160]

Interesting again, thank you Moxy.

 

Any chance of a picture or link to a Clevis hitch/union please? It's not something I've heard of.

 

When I said bird wire, that galvanised rope is exactly what I meant. The plastic coated stuff is only any good for tethering mouse boxes - old billy would make short work of that stuff.

 

I've an idea in my head now for knocking up some stakes with eyes....... just need to do a bit of work on it and I think it could be a go'er.

Clevis shackle. Similar to the one in the pic but with a threaded pin

[Matt 160]

Ah, them.....

 

Yes, I had something of the sort in mind.

 

Thank you again.
