micky 3,325 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 [/url THATS WHAT THE TRAP LOOKS LIKE ON ITS BED , I JUST TAKE A SPIT OUT WITH MY SPADE AND PRESS THE TRAP DOWN SHEET OF PAPER ON THE PLATE , SCRAPE A BIT OF DRY SOIL OFF THE TOP OF THE TUBE , CATCH OFF JOB DONE . iLIKE TO COVER TRAPS WITH PEAT FROM MY OLD GROW BAGS BUT IT WAS TOO MUCH TO CARRY UP THIS PLACE BUT I WILL GET A BAG DROPPED OFF UP THERE FOR NEXT SEASON . DO NOT FORGET THIS THING , IT ALL LOOKS DIFFERENT THE NEXT DAY AND ENEN IF YOU ONLY SET ONE TRAP YOU CAN EASILY LOSE IT . I put this up for a member who asked and this is the way i do it , as for blocking holes its hard to say , i think you have to cover at least a third of the holes to stand a chance . As where to place limited traps on a large warren like where these traps are i have set three traps in the lowest part facing the feeder , you can see that the rabbits are active here by there scrating , shit , and plenty of runs through the grass , its just common sense really though seeing them running in . Hope this help mate iv'e added a few pictures but the sun blazing down on top of the holes made it hard to see properly 1 Quote Link to post
EDDIE B 3,120 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks very much micky. Much appreciated! You mentioned paper. How much wider is the paper to the pan? Also, what type paper are you using? Quote Link to post
micky 3,325 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks very much micky. Much appreciated! You mentioned paper. How much wider is the paper to the pan? Also, what type paper are you using?Just kitchen towel its about 8x8 inches , i prefer to use peat as its hard going on this place ,the important things are Height and width but with this type of trap you can go bigger all round as its very forgiving one more thing is to set the traps at home as it is very hard to set them in the field when the ground is soft . 1 Quote Link to post
