Hi lads

I'm new to this sport & forum. Im making plans to build a new loft & I'm looking for pictures or designs on how to make a stall trap & how the locking mechanism works. Other people have probs asked this before, but as I said I'm new to this site so if you can even post me some links to older posts or any tips or advice that would be great cheers

Google images - Pigeon stall trap

Quite a few pics.

 

 

 

 

Cheers lads,i have tried google & iv seen that pic you put up, but you can't see how the bird actually gets trapped or stays their while you take the ring off to be clocked, iv never seen a stall trap in real life so was wondering how you hold the bird their, if you no what I mean.

this looks like a stall trap for ets

 

as i cant see any release mechanism for the one you are thinkingabout

 

the one you are thinking about the bird goes in it is trapped you then take the rubber of it then release the mechanism hope this helps you

Yeah mate thats what I'm looking for, cause I'll be using a clock for now, maybe in the future I'll get ets. But I would like to see on up close, as they say a picture says a thousand words so if you have any pic's can you put one up, cheers

If you are going to be using rubbers, with the view to changing to ets at a later date. I would recommend using a sputnik, as you can trap the bird when it jumps down, then you simply put an ets pad inside the sputnik when that time comes.

 

If you need any advise please feel free to pm.

Thank you very much Fifer for your recommendation.

Ok can't seem to send a pm! Anyway so any sputnik iv seen had an open back so the bird droids in & flys back to its section, no ? Maybe the ones iv seen were altered, how do you trap the bird in the sputnik ? Sorry for all the questions but we all have to start somewhere :D

you put bob wires along the back m8 and on race day you lock them so the bird cant get in the loft you open the front and catch the bird from the outside or the inside what ever suits you

2 good ideas their, you could have bobs that swing both ways & when you lock it ( somehow ) the bird can't get into the loft, but you can still put your hand through cause the bobs wil swing into the sputnik & get the bird. Might work, just have to figure out how to lock the bobs.

 

The perspex is good aswell, but would the bird be a bit slow to trap cause its closed.

correct m8 i used a nail each side and elastic bands joined together stretched across the bottom of the bobs where the birds cant see them its cheep easy and works fine m8
