I'm not spoiling for anything, I've better things to do with my day. I've 300 of the bloody things stacked up and drying

How the hell did you get a two car sized shed in the garden.
-
Or you just buy an IBC cages, modular off the shelf and infinitely stackable for £25.

Why am I picturing morris moss. I've come here to drink milk and kick ass & I've just finished my milk.

Would it be a change in the sugar content of the cells. Higher sugar & less water in winter to resist freezing as one would assume you couldn't just drain a living cell and replace it with air without it permanently dying?. I had a similar theory about ADB, harsh winter seems to help the bacteria spread through the cells due to sugar, mild winter and the tree doesn't hibernate as much, so less sugar storage and slower ADB growth.

Did that with a mink the other week, the grass looked like one of those murder scenes in Dexter/CSI.

Never really had any trouble dispatching from a cage trap, it's just a case of keeping really calm and not spooking whatever is caught until you have the right angle of dangle. Rifle is easier than pistol due to the distance as your not looming over them, but definitely prefer Fenn traps whenever possible.

South of the border it's like £60 a hectare and 80% of the trapping costs. But these schemes have hefty requirements for paperwork, wildlife plans and such. They were talking of £100 for 100m of watercourse to control mink but that never came into existence. Paperwork just isn't worth the time, so most of us do it off our own backs. Any trap usually has a entry hole restriction plus a few sticks or wire to make it hard for a hedgehog to enter.

I'm sorry officer it's my 1st day, isn't this your name in huge letters on the van. Yes officer, erm.

How are you going to factor in the British weather on the moisture of the already wet woodchip?.

The drain paddle is on the opposite banks, with a culvert running under the bed of the canal and towpath, so it had somehow found a hole in the bed of the canal into the culvert. Draining the canal causing a whirlpool, so they dumped the clay in the bottom as a temporary repair to plug the hole and stop the leak that was going into the park/tennis courts.
-
There's a few videos on YouTube. Leak in the bed of the canal into a culvert used to drain down the canal. They ended up dumping a few tonnes of clay to keep things open until winter stoppages comes around.

3" steel gong at 60 Yards.

Very true the historical officers can be a bit hit and miss in terms of the way it's restored. Guessing you missed the whirlpool at bollington a few weeks back then.
-
Isn't it missing the iron wear strips tho?
-
Green cross code if memory serves, with a west country accent.

Even then, like most manufacturers the parts are standard throughout the industry and relatively off the shelf such as bearings, belts, bolt etc. With the more specific things being the frame/chassis and maybe cutting heads etc. I've worked with a few companies that enjoyed being arsey, buying cable that had insulation reduced to save weight or developing a on/off switch that wasn't standard. Pee'd me off no end as it was daft, all so people couldn't copy, make it economical and people won't copy.

Which is going to get the more severe punishment, being overloaded or the officers hurty feelings?.
-
Just ring your local tree surgeons.

Unless you're in something like the down rated tippers with closing back doors, what they can't see the better. Tip regularly through the day, don't take the chipper and go alone to keep the weight down. Even the council do the above, as they know even the grass clipping can be borderline weight wise.

It is for rifle use, moisture and not scrupulously clean are big problems for any air cylinder. It's worse for anyone that uses a hand pump due to the heating created during the pumping. But compressors accumulate water and rust from the inside out. If I'm spending that sort of money on a PCP, I'm not going to be a cheapskate.
-
It clean air as it's oil free, filtered, moisture removed and suitable for dive use. It's a tank at 300 Bar, can't remember if it's 12 litre tank or larger but I'm not risking my life with anything holding that amount of compressed gas without testing.
-
Dive tank as it's clean air and about £20 a year for refills and testing every 5 years, but I do use a lot of air being FAC as 30 shots and it's empty. Magazine always better, I always leave one spot empty so it's not loaded until I'm in the field and ready for action. Plus you've not left it in the house, car or gun slip, if you do it when you're heading through the gate.

I bet they are at that day rate 😉

Are you in a red squirrel area ?. As that's the only time I would live trap, but any trap that kills has to be in a tunnel or enclosure and approved. WCS are pretty cheap at around £60 including the trap. As are Quill, plastic box with a Fenn mark 4 trap Most others are more expensive as I have metal boxes that look like bird boxes to be a bit on the quiet.
