artificial shape/layout

[dogga 1]

i have just started putting an artificia in and just wanted some guidance on the best layout for it if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.so far its 3 pipes in a line then a 90 degree turn then two further pipes leading out to a chamber but not sure where to go from there

does anyone ever have much luck with them?

yeah, every now and then, just like any earth really.

have a second pipe from the chamber to and entrance that way most stuff will bolt camber lid should be easy to remove and replace i have lots of success with these as for what chucky is asking there is already to many earths in n.ireland to be worrying about artificials

We had 2 foxes out of artificial earths at the weekend so they do work,not ones i put in but an invite onto some lads permission(cheers fellas if your on here ) The area we were did'nt have many natural earths so the foxes seem to flock to the artificials. Theres a bit about artificials in JD's book which sounds like good advice. Most lads i know claim the plastic ones are'nt as good as the pot pipes. Ive got 50ft of pot pipes to dig in when the weather is dry enough to get the pipes up the fields to the woods.

Double post.

I laid 5 down in the summer, in an area with plenty of foxes.

Not had one at home yet. I'm sure I did it all ok, put a bend in, south facing entrance etc.

Do they have to "weather" in before charlie is happy with them.

sounds like hard work to me waz,humping all them pipes up to the woods.

easyer to move to a place where we've got loads of the natural holes
