built a fair few larsen traps over my time,they work really well.
traps are easy to move around but the trap springs i cant find here.
so mate started hassling me about building some traps.
we looked at the wire funnel and ladder traps designs.
ladder trap design it was to be.
trap is 5 ft tall 5ft long and 4 ft wide.
trap door to let the terrier in when it gets crowded in there.
i use 2x4s and ripped them down in half.
scrap pieces of plywood was used.
note the design change from the one i set out with a decoy in,wire meshing that wasnt perfect
so i added more plywood to square off the edges and it was the same length as the wire mesh roll.
cost was 38 dollars for the wood and 38 dollars for the roll of mesh 4ft x 50ft.6hrs approx of my time.
one trap went out this morning at a farm,second will go out tomorrow when i find my magpie decoys
lets go to war on magpies!!!!!!!!
