inthedark Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 As above, I seem to have run out of the pointy faced little darlings for now having had 9 blank tours on the lamp and no fresh footings etc. There must be a chicken farmer in need on here, come on, I'm going to end up going to the pub and that would never do!!!

MM Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Thanks Les, I'm in the fortunate position of not needing any more permission, its just a bit thin on the ground right now and I was wanting to kep busy. is it just me, or does that seem a bit of a selfish attitude? why not invite some of the lads round to help with the rabbits or rats. its nice to meet up with other forum members if they dont have a shoot. you never know what might come of it.

When they start showing I'll PM you an invite. I've helped out plenty of people to get started, and dont forget i've only been on the forum 2 months, which now and again seems too long. No I'm not selfish and hopefuly it is just you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthedark Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Nice to know its not just me folks, I was starting to get worried. Had another tour round last night, not so much as an eyeball but there are odd pad marks here and there. Maybe we've just shot all the stupid ones!

garyb Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I've been baiting one for the past 4 nights, and each night the bait has gone. Tonight I will deploy a bait clock, keep an eye on the results for a couple of nights and then plan my approach. Plenty of foxes round here still.

garyb Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 It's on the same patch as the one you shot... It's not coming before 12am, I know that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 there was that one on the roadside that just watched us. Its a site that would suit a live catch trap well odds are it will be going round the pens looking for a way in. That one I shot was really unlucky don't think I've ever shot one that close before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
