EoinGalway Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Firstly this was this afternoons results with a few mag\grey traps.. trapped about 40 birds this week alone.. Our county count is tomorrow two weeks (30th) so doing a lot of vermin the last few weeks.. The NARGC (Irish governing body for game shooting organize yearly competitions for every county.Will post a picture of the final number .. (the fox trap at the back is being used as a holding cage.. 6 mags in it from today ... Some foxes last night... the bad news was we seen a MINK less than 200meters from where our proposed pheasant pen is to be located!! The second fox had its tail removed before the photo was taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few locals here have mentioned seeing less greycrows and magpies around lately It's always good to hear I've not had any run ins with mink thus far thankfully.

Teal Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 That's a good haul there! Interesting trap design those ones, looks fairly confined for the call bird. Any chance of a shot showing the mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinGalway Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well as requested, close up pictures of the cage traps I use. Simple trap door, step on the bar to drop the door. 4 compartments and one in the center for the call bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
