Body Grip mesh tunnels

[Holdaway 2]

I have got a couple of body grips I want to set in mesh tunnels on roofs and trees, I would like to make the tunnels myself cause I'm a tight so and so and need a couple of pictures of the clips if anyone would like to post them?

 

Cheers

Cor ,someone as tight as me! Don't know if you can enlarge this picture up a bit to see the little "hooks" holding the trap in place but it might help you. The trap in the side- on veiw wasnt set in the open field I hasten to add.

Has anyone got a cheaper option for Mr Holdaway only these bits of wire will stretch his budget

I'm sure someone on here was using bits of spring steel from building site materials - the banding stuff.

 

I tend to use stands and then just pop a cubby on without the hanging hooks.

 

And before anyone tells me I know that the BG isn't in the stand properly but it's the only photo I have handy.

Although making a cubby is simplicity itself............i thought i would show you the custom made version. What i like about this one is it can be used as a run through or "Blind" tunnel depending on the target species and location.

there good holders john where did you get the idea for them from also i use the banding in the top of the tunnel

They all look really good, but I need a close up please!! I would like to attach mine to a tree in a cubby for squirrels, hense the reason for clips in tunnels, I like your grip stands john, and rolfes cubby looks the biz too, but any one any ideas how to attach a BG in a cubby upside down?

 

Cheers all

These are a few I use, the tunnel is a modified commercial to take the VC 120-2 bodygrip.

 

Commercially bought tunnel (pm me if you want company).

 

 

 

 

Conibear mount.

You can nail this mount to a tree or post and place you trap on, cover with fir branches etc.

 

 

Stabliser.

 

Not seated properly.

peg and gun brought me up a wire tunnel , his idea was very simple , he just cut a couple strands of the wire on the top of the tunnel and pushed it down and bent the ends outwards , then just clicked the trap onto them , no aditions of any kind , pure simplicity.

once you place your traps in the wire tunnel,is it best to set with trigger wires faceing up or down for rat
