I'd forgotten that one:

 

Stovepipe Bird Trap. The stovepipe game bird trap is so simple, it makes me laugh every time I think about it. The principle behind it is that birds can't back up. Have you ever seen a bird walk backwards? Neither have I!

 

Materials needed:

1. (1) 6-inch diameter, 24-inch long stove pipe
   
2. piece of chicken wire, about 12-inches square
   
3. some duct tape
   

That's it. You take the chicken wire, form it around one end of the pipe, and duct tape the overlay nice and tight around the pipe. Place a trail of corn going into the pipe, and a pile or cob in the back. This has to be the easiest trap to make, and man does it work! Be careful when you pull the pheasants out.
