Mice! Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 11 hours ago, Walker570 said: Well got the skin off the tree rat and had it laid out/stretched and salted, so whilst it was still soft I covered the wooden form with wood glue and stretched the skin on and stapled it all in place. NOW, let us face it, a real neat taxidermy job is not required. I thought the ears and shape important as well as the colour which the skin/fur will give. I think it will fool a few and by the time they have run up to have a look and paused to see what is wrong with it they will be in happy tree rat lah lah land. I just want them to pause for 5 seconds no more and the job will be done. Now I have to put in the electronics for the tail. I have pulled the bone from that and it is now fitted with a wire two thirds the way up which will go on the shaft of the electric motor and hopefully when revolving it will twitch the end of the tail tantalisingly. Looks like rain again tomorrow indoor play so should get that sorted.get that sorted Don't shoot the wrong one 😅😅😅 Did you see the BBC programme where they had a squirrel similar to what your making? I think it was Packham, they were showing how squirrels steal off each other with nuts etc. Can you fix a walnut to the base or something? Squirrel gets there attention they pause trying to get the walnut, bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two feed rides where I intend setting it up, where they tend to cross or just will not sit for a few seconds. It'll be fun trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Had a good bag of sixteen today but shooting was dire, two or three got away due to my shooting, also saw more but not in range. Nearly had a fox walk to me but he saw me at about 30yds out so no good trying to shoot him at that range. If I had had the under and over I would of loaded with magnum shells but had a auto. 1532 Mick Edited November 6, 2020 by powler typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Well had one in a trap in our wood this morning. I have no idea where that one came from as we have not seen a sign for four weeks. Still it breaks the spell, so now I might start to stack a few up. 1535 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Well I sat for four hours this morning and was fortunate to get one which was on a mission but paused just too long and got bitten by the Browing. Saw one more which was also on a mission and never showed again. Non of the food in the flip tops had been touched. The good thing was it was a big fat female. 1576 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
