swiftshot Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Nice shooting mate, do you have many problems with corvids? Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 no corvid problems so far swiftshot and theres rookery not 50 yards from where i took the pic of the ewe and her twins. i'v got some larsen traps set near by and have caught one or to crows so far, the main problems the rabbits in the area, so iv repaird all the rabbit proof fencing and and fixed up the trap boxes but not set them yet, i'll give it 2 weeks to let them get used to running through them and then give em a nice surprize... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swiftshot Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 The drop box traps work well. My dad does the stop illegal poisoning stand at shows so we get to test out all the stuff he gets sent between shows. The wire cage traps work well for rabbits too, i caught two in the same trap once and even a magpie that i gave to a friend to use in his larsen.

billy Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 well nttf she was bred by a good mate and i do know that my own old dog was her grandfather, he was deerhound greyhound bitza and her dam was a beardy greyhound whippet.. and her sire was a pure greyhound ..shes a honest wee worker and lamps, ferrets, and hunts up well during the day, she not shy at retrieving from water and did used to lift the odd hare before the ban, but was by no means a hare dog but used her brians to kill them more than anything else..shes handy if i shoot any deer that manages to run and drop in woods or such like and and takes me rite to fox that iv shot at night if i loose me barings..lol...ah dont really know what id do without her..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry iv ued the dropbox traps for years now swiftshot and the only trouble with them is..there to good at there job..lol..so i only set them a coupla timea year just so the farmers are happy seeing the numbers drop a bit then it usualy the dog and gun and mabe some ferreting after that. PS..i always let the squeekers go. pointless killing them i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
