These are a sqare shaped cage made out of twigs with a stick which fall somehow then the phesant is unabel to get out!

The ones Wife posted about use 'bob wires' like the pigeon trap thread on here.

The other common type uses funnels at ground level, a bit like the crow traps in this thread

HB,

 

First of all, if the pheasants from over the road are in your wood then they will return after you release them - they obviously prefer your wood to their own . . .

 

Anyway; a pheasant is an easy thing to catch and you can catch them in just about any type of funnel cage trap really. If you want to make one for the purpose I would suggest making a wooden 6 foot square framework about 2 foot six high. Cover the top and four sides with mesh and leave the bottom. Then cut out two entrance holes about 18 inches wide at opposing ends and make a wire netting tunnel about the same depth, into the centre of the trap. Simple. Bait it up with wheat or maize and wait, once they find it they will soon go in. You can fish out the captives using a landing net from one side to save you having to go in to get them yourself.

the best pheseant traps are a 6x6 ft avairy with a wire funnel hole about 3 inches of the ground they walk in and cant get out we had 25 in one of these in a day last week
