Sprung Traps

[islayhawk 0]

My friend owns a small farm and every year is plagued by hooded crows pecking the eyes and tongues from lambs and ewes. He sets a larson trap and does everything legally ie keeping the decoy with water and food etc. I would like to know what right does our local RSPB warden have to come onto his land - which is private and spring the trap, leaving the perches on top of the trap. In this instance there was no decoy in the trap or I am sure he would have let it go. Do these mindless people have no idea of the damage these birds do. Do any other members have the same problem.

The RSPB warden has no rights to enter private land period..... I would write a strongly worded letter of complaint to whoever is in charge of this moron and leave them in no doubt that should it happen again you will bring a prosecution for trespass.

you could also bring a prosecution for trespass of goods , which is part of the theft act, which basically means , he is not allowed to interfear with a legal method of pest control

why don,t you just bait the trap and then wait for him coming over and give the bast#ard a good spanking . like i,ve had to do in the past with a#seholes thats interferes with my snares . big peter the right hand educates them immediately better than any psychiatrist would ever be able to do, and you certainly get their attention fast . and never anymore problems.

One method I've had success with is not quite as severe as Glenns, is approach the bloke and ask if he's seen anyone near the trap, adding that if you catch whoever it is that you'll rip his f***ing head off, if you're angry it's easy to do the acting. It's worked with two people for me. If he plays up, then follow Glenns advice.
