Thanks for that, certainly no competition for the step by step book but really enjoyable reading with some interesting traps. :good:

looks a good book, i wonder if it has a trap like the ones i make, i have three myself and they are fantastic for squirrells and rats. I gave one as a christmas pressie to a keeper in shropshire when i was on a gap year from uni and he was very sceptical and thought it was a joke . . . until he tried it then bored all my co-workers on the farm and estate banging on about how goos it was! Its a wooden box with a seesaw in it, il put a picture on here sometime to see if anyone has one. Cant remember where i read about it, in a very old book i think i just made up the dimensions and it worked

Yes Thumpersniper it does have those in it :look:

 

Funnily enough that was the first trap I ever made and probably what started me off. This is it.

I found that the traditional design had a few limitations as you couldn't easily see or extract what you'd caught, once you'd caught it. In the old days they just dropped a pinch of cymag in and job done.

 

The modified design in the book resolves that as you can see. More details on the website 'seesaw' pages.
