As well as selling my own book, I am constantly trying to source other items that will be of interest to trap makers.  Particularly some of the bits and pieces which you need to make the traps as you might have trouble getting hold of these locally, particularly in small quantities.

There are 3 ways to buy: Use the ‘Add to Cart’ buttons and pay securely via PAYPAL using credit or debit cards.  Alternatively visit my ebay shop or simply print the mail order form and pay by cheque.

Trap Making, Step by Step

 

This is the book which I’ve written and which this website is really all about.  Based on well proven traditional designs, this book gives simple step by step instructions which enable anyone with basic carpentry skills to make a range of traps.  Each chapter also includes a discussion on Options and Variations so that as the readers confidence grows, designs can be modified and developed with completely new ideas.

 

All of the detailed plans work with light weight wire mesh and wood in sizes that are easy to obtain from any timber yard or builders merchant.

Instructional DVDs

Professional Mole Trapping DVD

I came across this video late last year and have found it’s improved my catch rate significantly.  It was filmed and self-produced by Wayne Walton, a full time mole trapper who catches thousands of moles every year.  The filming and production is unquestionably amateur but I find that reassuring and the value is in the content. What you get is an honest and instructive insight into the craft and techniques of trapping moles - told by a professional in the field, in his own words.   The film covers an overview of trap types, trap tuning, mole behaviour (anatomy, tunnels, feeding nesting), trap placement in the field and trap setting.   Shows Fenn, Duffus and Talpex type traps in operation.

It is perfect for anyone trying to trap moles for the first time but will also provide the sort of hints and tips that any experienced mole trapper will benefit from.

Running time 101 minutes.

‘Woodga’ Professional Rabbit Snaring DVD

I am delighted to be able to sell this DVD - an absolute classic that should be in any field sports library.

In this DVD Woodga takes you through the whole process of making and setting rabbit snares using the wire tealer and large loop method championed by Glenn Waters.  With this DVD you can literally start with a spool of wire and end with simple, light weight and highly effective snares.  Also covers the use of hoop and fence snares.
