hutch6 550 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 How have you got on? Has the handgun got a laser attachment or is it proper Dirty Harry tactics? Quote Link to post

A lot of people feed the birds all year round. No need for it. Quote Link to post

salclalin 240 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Checked the traps earlier nothing. Checked again after walking the dogs.Had a Rat in a snare that was set along the 4x2 timber on a fence.And had a 1/2 grown Rabbit in a Fenn.How the Rabbit got there is puzzling me .The nearest field to me is over 1/2 a mile away.Unless somebody has them in their garden close by.Ferret food anyway.Got pics on my phone but are to big to upload Quote Link to post
Rowan 308 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Always keep 4 cages down the bottom of the garden around the sheds and ferret hutches . Even with no bait in they catch 5 or 6 a year . A bit embarrassing to have rats take up home in your garden when you control them for a living. Hence the reason I just have the cages set , like that I can let the odd hedgehog out unharmed . 2 Quote Link to post

Gone this morning. Bit of chicken in tonight, set light, if its goes, set it to catch tomorrow. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
patterdale 673 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I've caught two over the past two nights, one adult, one young. Will upload photos later off my phone. Got some peanut butter for tonight. Quote Link to post
