LARSEN TRAP RELOCATION

[Ratcherman 0]

Well after myself and woodga built the larsen trap last week we decided to move it.It has done well at colins catching the call bird and another five magpies last week, but they have seemed to have gone quiet now none for a couple of days and the call bird has been driving his neighbour nuts chattering on at 4 o clock in the morning .We have been watching a field in front of my house for a few weeks now and seen plenty maggys, so we put it out last night at 9 o clock.

I got up this morning and went to check it not too hopeful as it had been pourin down but i was chuffed to find two in the trap

I came home from work at dinner time and couldnt resist another look,couldnt believe it there was another two in

Well i got in from work at 4 o clock and was straight across the field and thought there would be nowt in this time as it was pouring again, couldnt believe it another two in the trap

Well chuffed six maggys in a day we will soon put a dent in the population at that rate,and i think i will put me wellies on and have one last look

i told you that location would be fruitfull hopefully no kids will find the trap a few more days and we will certainly put a dent in those few that are left. between us we have had thirteen birds in just over a week cant think why people have bother catching we dont seem to have any trouble must be a good trap keep at them talk soon ,

oh that fox cage will be relocated very soon to agood secret location and ill need your help

Just had a quick wander over to check the larsen and it had one customer in

we are going to give it till monday and then going to try a new location as i had counted twelve maggys at one time in this location and ive shot 3 and getting 9 in the larsen now, i will keep an eye out though for more moving in .We should hopefully see a lot more hedgerow birds back in the area now and a lot more young one's next year

i told you that was a good call bird . out of the dozen we saw we have taken a dozen from the same area in a little over a week,as you say the blackbirds and finches will have a better chance of rearing their young next season just keep monitoring the field when we see a build up we will locate another trap or two well done ratcherman

yep , not bad for a rank amateur , when you grow up to be a big lad you will catch plenty more , but not in the trap you,s showed me on friday ,

 

has that smell gone yet ? i had to bath 4 times and burn all me clothes , i think my nose hairs have absorbed some of the steam cos i can still smell it , i,m sure you dogs run fast to get away from thier own arse holes after eating that shite :sick:

Well checked the larsen this morning and there was another two in the trap there was one dead though and when i got it out the trap i found it had its head off,it must of been a fox, i think the maggy must of had its head oot trying to escape and charles has been sniffing about,as all the magpies have gone missing from under the bushes .Might be worth a look with the rifle to get the fox before it gets the neighbours hens

I was going to lift the trap tommorow but we will have to give it another couple of days as i have just spotted another 2 in the field, thats 11 now to the larsen and 3 to the air rifle
