Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Result, mate! Now then; What have ye learned from this experiance? What was it the proved to be a seemingly duff location / situation and what proved the killer? Give us an idea of what, enviromentally, changed when ye shifted that traps position, please? Incidentally; My one's been sitting out there, set and ready, for a couple of months or more now. Nothing. But then, nor do I have any maggies around my land now. Couple shot through a while ago. But I know they've been breeding a mile away. When their young come looking for a new territory to claim for their own? The trap'll still be there. Set and ready Quote Link to post

Guest foxyforce1 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Dont know if this will be any use to you guys, but ive caught a few magpies in rabbit cage traps over the last few months on one job, there just baited normally with carrot,think it might be the colour thats attracting them in,didnt seem to be alot of magies about the place but ive caught 13 over the past 4 weeks.
