paddy.t 5 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 ive had some go walkies befor, bloody bunny huggers. Saying that check the hedgerows, rabbits could pull pegs out but very unlikely all 10. i had one do that other day Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Were they set near a footpath or obvious from a road? Could be bunny huggers, could be someone who'll use the snares themselves too. Can't have anything these days unless it's bloody attached to a hungry dog. Even then they'll drug the dog :realmad: Can't abide thieves, purest of scum. Quote Link to post

big bopper 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 it is the farmer taking them!! i laid another 5 last night and watched them for a couple of hours with no joy then just as i was about to leave up he walks and pulls them up says he wants them for another part of the farm? why not just tell me to snare there? i asked if i could have my snares back but no joy so needless to say i wont be going back there Quote Link to post

Little Butch 16 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 What an absolute W*anker!! I'd demand them back....He allowed you to set them there so you're doing nothing wrong Butch Quote Link to post
Guest JohnGalway Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'd go back, phone in hand. Ask for the snares back again or you're gonna report it to the long arm of the law. Taking something of his will just land you in trouble. I'd also let him know that word of mouth about things like this spreads quick and ask if that's how he'd like to be known for stealing something that costs so little? Quote Link to post

woodga 170 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 they must have been short pegs as a 7 inch peg has held many a fox you dont need great stakes to hold rabbits or hares Quote Link to post
