Ferret Master Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Sporting Shooter covered it a month or two back. A hasty apology/warning was in the next mag saying that it is only legal in Britain to collapse burrows after the animals have exited. In the previous mag it implied they were killing rats with it underground. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I've seen one working, It was ok on some rat holes that the guy did but I checked some rabbit holes a couple of days after he'd "blown them up" and they were still being used by rabbits So my rabbit shooting's not going to end just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 In the video, on the site and in the info it still doesn't really say it kills the target species. I don't think we are about to loose our shooting to this yank piece of **** just yet :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I know of two farmers who have shown interest in this device :blink: Mind you I bet if someone purchased one they would get a lot of work. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm not so sure. Might work on "varmints", but if it did, and I am not saying it doesn't, then as the manufacturer you'd make more of it. They don't, and I think the reason is it doesn't actually kill larger species. Removing all the oxygen I can take that, burning I can see, but this "percussive wave" - do me a favor. It burries thing, nothing more :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty gunz Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 A chap i know who is a green keeper used a similar piece of kit to devastating effect. I went for a lamp round his golf course and there were almost no rabbits there atall!! I think we saw half a dozen in 4 hrs. Anyway, someone called the police when they saw him using it and they confiscated it because it is illegaloly apparantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I have just suggested this to the chap I clear rabbits for in his garden. He has a serious mole problem and I mean the burrowing type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 I have just suggested this to the chap I clear rabbits for in his garden. He has a serious mole problem and I mean the burrowing type For moles you need patience. Wait with either a spade or 12 bore. When you see the grass/nettles/mole hill move start digging or get up all close and personal with the shotgun. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 One of my farmers mentioned this device to me on Saturday morning. He was shown it at a demonstration and the agents told him it IS legal. Can anyone clear this up ? If not I will contact the BASC.

30-6 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 LB The article was in Sporting Shooter - March, and the reply in April. Apparently, like said only legal for collapsing burrows and not killing in this country. I beleive it's a German invention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Given the chaotic nature of buried pipes and the like no way this will ever be a threat. Even if it starts to become one, how hard it is to make a nozzle on a long stick for christs sake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
