EoinGalway Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) Yep heavy duty 2" mesh. It breaks down into 5 sections so it can easily be moved thats the reason we used the timber support. Takes about 10mins to setup which is handy. Looking forward to deer season as I reckon bit of cold weather and deer bones will make it very attractive.

EoinGalway Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Sorted, 5 inches sq seem to be the magic figure. 14 greys and 3 mags over the weekend alone. :look: They are good looking traps your building, maybe a new business venture?

Catamong Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 John, You're doing a great job there, (I caught 63 maggies in my own back garden one year from April to July), one small point of constructive criticism, the mesh you use for the floor should be much smaller gauge than the mesh you use for the walls / roof, I'm told by "experts" at the Game Conservancy that too wider mesh can damage the call birds feet over a period of time. Keep up the good work, Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Very tidy trap John, we made some for a shoot a few years ago using steel rod covered with wire mesh. One of the main advantages of steel Larsens in my opinion is that from a distance they are less visible than the wood framed ones. So less interference by dogooders. Incidently these traps took 50 and 51 carrion crows two years running. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
