Redgum Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Have but out mineral licks and grain in chicken feeders to try and get the Munty's out in the open, ended up, after 6 months and not a single sightin of Munty's on the webcam but zillions of fat squirrels. Gave up and had a good few days with the squirrels and the hmr in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yep, bait stations for grey squirrels very effective. I have made a feeder from pallet planks and set a large jar inside, with a hinged lid. Stops the birds pinching the nuts and squirrels learn quickly ho to lift the lid for a meal. I average 50 off each feeder in one wood each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Bait Stations Baiting Fox generally react well to baits, and so can the squirrel! I have tried varius licks for the deer but the best I have found is orange squash! String up the bottle in a known area and pin ***** top and bottom, it will drip VERY slowly and will last several days (you may need to practice on the pin *****), they love it and will lick the ground and the bottle. Rabbits, I haven't really tried baiting, but various birds will respond as we all know! EDit Ha Ha...the ***** word is P-R-I-C-K, I think I can guess why it gets starred!

Fisheruk Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've also baited mink onto a raft and used cat food as bait. Shot them off the raft from the other side of the lake. very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Use with trailcam for fox but often fox bulldozed out of the way by badgers in some spots.Had some good results all the same:saved a lot of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 what did you use to bait magman i used mackerel and pollack waste once but it was to photo them Have used most things from dog biscuits , rabbit guts , fish . Although they are put in a 4" tube with 1" holes in and chained up so he has to spend a bit of time there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
