henry d Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Mark him in a way you will recognise,tippex is good,and when you catch another kill the old call bird or pass it on to anyone else who is trapping ATM. Remember to mark the new call bird :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinGalway Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Firstly, far play on the trap, looks the business!! :unsure: I've 3 Grey in a storage cage for weeks now and once the can spread they wings and move around to keep warm they will have no problem surviving! I find a good mixed diet, everything from meat to dog nuts ... I find the more birds in the trap the faster it will fill up.. don't be in a rush to whack them over the head! If you get a spare magpie let me know.. could really do with a few of those little ******* especially in the next few weeks as I'm taking a few weeks off at Christmas and intend to hunting and trapping for most of it !! P.S - is that an attempted break in, in the first picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinGalway Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi Eoin, You weren't in Galway getting bits for a maglite Saturday were ya? Yeah I'll add more to his diet, we have sheepdogs so the nuts won't be a problem, would they eat thawed out sweetcorn too I wonder? I've got a good supply of food for him so if a few more customers come in I can accomodate them easily. I've not got any Magpie as yet, the holes are still large enough for them to fly up and out of as far as I know. I've also got a mesh metal Larsen cage out, it's up on a height to keep it away from those cats... If I start catching maggies you're more than welcome to them. The blocked up hole was dug by a mink, he climbed up the trap and couldn't get out until he dug his way out. In the first picture I've made a little timber tunnel, inside there are two set mk 6 fenns incase the ****** decised to come back. I've taken measures to make sure my crow can't get caught in them so that's not a worry :unsure: There was also a fox sniffing around the cage but he went to the big den in the sky Nope.. wasn't in galway.. I just order online now! Stock piling for Christmas at the moment, more ammo and traps than I can handle.. if this ****** weather would only improve .. lost about 200 acres of prime hunting land to water in the last week alone... Mink!! I take more pleasure in shooting these little *******! Hope you get him.. use No.4 fenn myself (only when the cage traps wont do) Let me know if you get a magpie..I'll pick up no hassle.. can only seem to get grays at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
