kenny14 656 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 A beak that will put paid to countless eggs and chicks of Songbirds and Gamebirds over the coming weeks.

Do you notice if you move your larsen even 6 feet the most stubborn of crow will then go in? Yet sitting in the same place it wont?... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you notice if you move your larsen even 6 feet the most stubborn of crow will then go in? Yet sitting in the same place it wont?... I do, and actually last week I saw a pair of Crows round the trap mobbing the decoy bird 3 mornings on the trot, but they weren't going in (I have a catching trap sat on top of the Larsen too which accounts for most catches). I'm very limited to how far this trap can be moved so I put it onto an old upturned water trough which lifted it no more than 18 inches. Next morning both Crows were caught, one in the Larsen and the other in the catcher . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can move it a fair bit in the rearing field(when i done it) and i used to move it from one end of the field to the other or work corner to corner. Soon realised that moving it no distance at all the buggers were straight in....... Is it the "Larsens mate" you are using above it......cracking piece of kit that. Very handy for catching problem birds.......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I've heard they can be useful for those 'problem ' birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
