Ken's Deputy 4,460 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Lewis; Any man who says he set his first wires without instruction and didn't hang them in burrow mouths is most probably a fukking liar! I know I for sure as hell did exactly what you're trying there. I also took my first ferret out and stood there, peering down the fukking hole, waiting for the rabbit to appear! There used to be a load of stuff, on here. Man by the name of G.S. Waters is the one. He's put out a few small books, I believe? Find anything by him and you're made. Few enough of the Real Deal bother with this place any more. " Micky " uses Mr Waters' ways. Use the search button and check out his posts. That'll give ye a better idea. For finer detail? Look for anything pertaining to Hoop / Peg / Fence snare. And mentions of Glen / G / Mr Waters / God. 4 Quote Link to post
