    Article: Snaring and the law in the UK

    Wrote to DEFRA a while ago and they said that it was OK to use stainless steel cable as long as it:- 1)Was the same strength as brass 2)Wouldn't 'kink and lock' 3)and had the required 'stops'. It was also pointed out that snares are for restraint only NOT to choke the target species.

    Legal Traps?

    When I was young (many many moons ago) one of the things I liked about bush craft was going out using simple methods to catch my dinner be it fish, fowl, Grey squirrel, or rabbit. By simple I mean air gun, snares, hobo fishing, and the occasional trap for squirrel, etc. Then, as the years...

    Our forests are safe

    Don't count your chickens yet Trunks. A new panel of experts means only one thing, another group of idiots looking for a way to sell off our land. They'll have to think of a new name though. . . Something on the lines of "The Big society conservation group" seems favorite.
