Trapping Rabbits

[Bourne13 4]

Hello I was wondering if it's possible to trap rabbits with a mk4 fenn or would it have to be a mk6 . I'm new to this trapping business so be kind . Thanks

Its possible but illegal , if you have to use fenns it must be a Mk6 but they are crap and should be banned .

Thanks for the reply I had just read this in the basc hand book . What traps would you advise ? Feel slightly embarrassed now I should of read first and asked questions later I suppose .

I've just bought a MK6 that is suitable for rabbits . As said above I don't think mk 4 is

Why do you think fenns are crap ?

[micky 3,325]

Because i have used them

Because i have used them

I assumed that I was just wondering what about them is crap. Also what do you use instead

They are a good mink trap though micky. (The mk6) I agree they aren't the best killing trap, far from it, but they are a perfect type of trap for pockets, and cubbies.

 

They ain't no rabbit trap though. Much better traps out there, for that job.

I agree that they work better in a Cubby but a bodygrip would always be my first choice , as for the M6 being a ;GOOD MINK TRAP i have to disagree, how can a trap that consistently fails to kill ferrets humanely dispatch a mink , given time it might but so will old age .

What I mean by GOOD MINK TRAP is that (only my own opinion) mink tend to commit better to Fenns, than Bodygrips.

 

I've caught plenty in both, but find I get more in the Fenns. Even US trappers can have problems with refusals in Bodygrips, but they have their footholds too.

Rabbits ?

yes mate, I have always found them a handy little trap, I don't use them often, only if I am clearing some around a garden,

It would be interesting to see pictures of rabbits that people have caught without ;never having a problem ; because i am sure they have but do not know it .
