thats exactly what i am looking for.

Make the funnel quite long mate and you’ll have to experiment with the end size as magpies are  far from stupid .

Ive made them top entry and had them get out ,same as base entry.The very best trap for magpies and crows is the Larsen by far .

Seen this simple ladder trap design.

I gave a ladder trap and Larsen trap away on here

[Ted Newgent 4,896]

Got one meshed out

fckn hate doing that job

going to revise the design on the other trap to make meshing easier

[Ted Newgent 4,896]

First one out and ready to rock n roll

[Ted Newgent 4,896]

Meshed out the second one

design slightly changed to make meshing easier. It was bothering me.

two traps cost eighty dollars

40 for wood 40 for wire mesh

6 hrs labour 

 

this trap will out at a farm hopefully tomoz. Need to dig out the magpie decoy
