Rimfireboy Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I caught one about three weeks ago so it's worth a try. Got a couple of traps running at the moment but nothing caught since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 start baiting them with a split open rabbit and shoot them, remmber to keep well hidden - you will be surprised how many will keep coming in despite relatives dotted around on their backs dead!

You`re quite right there! I`ve never understood why such otherwise wary birds aren`t put off in such circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
