coops Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ladies and Gent's, I have rather alot of ruddy magpies around me, so rather than wake the neibours with a few large bangs, I have decided to purchase a larsen trap and catch the little bleeders, but I can't seam to catch a live ****** to bait?? I have tried the plastic decoy in the cage and outside, bread around and in the cage, hens eggs and a fake nest in the cage. Magpies keep coming and sticking the wing up to yours truly then fly off. Any good ideas from you experienced boys and girls. Thanks to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some spares if you want to collect it from near Peterborough Andy PS side openers work best when trying to catch with bait, and for crows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
