(when i started, the only 'guidance', was an old book ? not too , helpful,..lol),....& all i got from the local 'mole catchers' (family affair), was 'unfriendliness' at best , 'hostility' at worst They were 'poison' men, anyway (so not 'true' trappers, in my book ? ),.....i remember being told off the 'father', (phone) id be better 'slinging' my traps ,....but , if i was gonna contnue, too 'stick too a certain location',...specified by him ! ha ha ha Edited April 5, 2017 by earth-thrower 1 Quote Link to post

Rowan 308 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Anyone asking for advice new or old is fine , there's always something new to try or a differant slant on trapping that may get you out off a muddle . The only thing that F'S me off is trapping for drink money , some of us have / choose to make a living from this great way off life . I've recently come across one guy in this area who's a postie and trapping moles for £3 each and no other charges . He's not bothering me too much , Yet , but ....i'm not a happy chap when asked by a new customer why i can't do the same and then they don't want to hear my answer. 5 Quote Link to post
