Guest little_lloyd Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Sit tight in the hedge in your real tree then batter the b***%*d!!! Your not using bright red fabric on a bit of wood to tell you where the wires are, are you? Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Paddy; By Tie Wraps, do ye mean Cable Ties? The plastic strips with a self locking bit at one end? Thread the pointed end through it and it doesn't undo again? Either way; How are ye tethering the snares which are being stolen, mate? And where are they positioned? Quote Link to post

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 And how about the rest of my question, Paddy? Where were the other snares set? How were they anchored? Quote Link to post
paddy.t 5 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 And how about the rest of my question, Paddy? Where were the other snares set? How were th in hedge rows, under hawthorne bushes. and 3ft spiked pegs Quote Link to post
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sorry then, Paddy. I'm at a complete loss, mate. I mean; What but a person could draw a three foot peg from the ground to remove a snare? Yet what human would go searching about beneath brambles for such snares, whilst seemingly ignoring the ones right there on the fences? Hardly a gargantuan task to snip or slice through a cable tie. And, if they're returning to do this, they'd come equipped to those fence snares the second time out. Sorry I couldn't help shed more light on this one. Quote Link to post

Sorry I couldn't help shed more light on this one. i think think it could be the game keeper as it is part of the wentworth estate, but we do have permisson to hunt the land, but i wuold have thought if it was the game keeper he would like you say be equipped. thanks Quote Link to post
