jaegervulpes 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Definately a ladder trap for the rooks, it will catch 200+ plus at times. bait with corn and lid off for a few days then fasten lid on and watch them pile in. In summer put the trap near a water trough or something as they will flock there to drink and increase the numbers you will catch. Quote Link to post

gossy 3 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 cant see why squirrel would work any different to say rabbit. meat is meat. i find taking a liver and smearing it on and around the tunnel works well and when you catch a stoat or weasel rub that on the tunnel this works well not sure if all year round though. all the best.
