  1. welcome aboard mate How do you find the S410 ? What calibre ? I'm thinking of getting one myself
  2. leave a wounded pigeon even when there are birds still coming into the pattern. Molly - you need a priest and you'd be OK.

    Cage bowl

    these might be what you're after- called cage or coop cups - used for chickens http://www.domesticfowltrust.co.uk/feeders2.html

    hi

    Welcome mate ! You're gonna have some fun with a name like that ! :11:
  8. I've just posted this in response to a question on another thread and I thought it might be useful as a post in it's own right. This is the offical DEFRA guidelines on what sort of spring traps can be used and for which quarry. http://www.defra.gov.uk ---- approved-traps.htm Apologies if this is already common knowledge John
  9. Nope. Have a look at the species listed on this link defra - approved-traps.htm John
  10. Wow - you lot are up early Thanks for the good wishes - have to see if I can get a bit of time free for a mooch today ......................
  11. I get the elastic band strixaluco - snaps the seesaw down. I tend to weight mind a bit so that it's just about to tip. What does the bit of stick do ?
  12. Well would you believe that's exactly what they've done this afternoon is going to be very entertaining :11: get pictures
  13. It's already on an earlier post, so I won't repeat it. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...?showtopic=9243 Work your way down it and I've posted more pics and a description I've just upgraded the design so that it's a bit more accessible - lids slides off to see what you've caught. Want to buy one ? :11:
  14. Alive or dead ? I'm afraid I'm going to have to offer up my seesaw box trap again. Works on alsorts of predators that like tunnels. (one trick pony, I know, I know ..... )
  15. Know anyone with a hawk ? Might be a bit unhappy about flying it indoor I suppose. or how about a 'foot snare' on the top of a tall pole ?
  16. How about putting some sort of bait just in the doorways that you have open ? Encourage it to the right place ?
  17. Have you got any sort of trap ? You might get it to 'walk' into a large cage trap like a rabbit trap Or you can pop over and borrow mine :11:
  18. bait it with eggs in a mock nest - few handfulls of straw
  19. Larsen trap - put in as soon as you can and leave it overnight when you've all gone home and it's nice and quiet. Should work. Try it baited.

    Avatars

    Ian - try one facing the other way. It works for me
  21. looks like he's taken the site down now.
  22. I know it's not online, but I was recommended a book: - The Art of Long Netting by Harold Wyman. Published by Coch-Y-Bonddu books of Machynlleth which I guess you'll appreciate You'll be able to get it quite cheap on ebay or amazon I found it quite informative, but I've not really had a good go yet.
