    4 bits of wood to make frame,netting on top and not tight so the pest can move.You need a curve in it.
    No.8 wire V tacked too the frame in a little so the pest walks in and stands on the V which sets the triger off for the capture.


    Now the trigger is the tricky bit


    Getting the height too balance the trap.


    Hope those pics help Happy you should be culling them in no time.

    I am surprised that you could see them through that tiny scope (ha ha ha). Well done big-foot
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That is a bit dead eye dick / davey crockett VC. Well done. Watch out Dundee, better start honing the sharp shooter skills and taking eye shots at 200.

    23 bunnies on Friday evening.

    Bit of wind about made for some challenging shooting at times, but still plenty of fun.

    JW15 ,no name package deal scope 4x magtec subs, it doesn't actually like em. Shoots em ok but get a lot of jams feeding. whiny subs work fine in it and power-points feed and shoot well.
    I sort of cheated a bit by having a couple of shots earlier at some rocks where they had been landing to get the drop.
    A drissely rain gave me the wind and I held 4 foot high 1 foot left.
