Do pigeon traps work on Woodies ?

[Oildriller 2]

How does this trap work may i ask

 

It's a standard bobwire door trap - with a door in each of the wooden ends. What's missing in this picture is the top and the sides. The whole thing is built to be folded away. If you click on where it says 'Take Down Pigeon Trap' in the first topic theres a thread all about it.

 

But as an aside look at this - just when you think you've cleared the bloody magpies .......

I find the quickest and safest way to despatch trapped pigeons is using hand held despatching pliers.

 

Take one pigeon out of trap one by one and despatch. Minimum stress and very humane.

 

You cannot guarantee a quick kill using an air weapon and you may just get a pellet in the eye if it riccochet's.

 

The specially designed pliers immediately kill the pigeon with little fuss.

 

Old saying again " Right tool for the job".

 

Don't forget that if a buzy body see's you on a roof with a air rifle or pistol, they may mistake you for a sniper !!!
