I like it!Nate , as long as they’re down there I dont have to deal with them. You remember how hard it was to protect a power bank from them. Best thing to do is bait with seeds and tannerite.
I have tannerite… saying for a friend…Nate , as long as they’re down there I dont have to deal with them. You remember how hard it was to protect a power bank from them. Best thing to do is bait with seeds and tannerite.
When it’s nesting time..spring. Starling trap. Barrel with lid- 3” or 4” pvc pipe and 1 elbow Fill barrel 1/2 full of water Cut hole in lid and mount 1st piece of pipe .. depending on the size of the barrel determines length, elbow and short piece of pipe. Tweak as needed It uses their nesting instincts. Gives them a nice bath and works great. Check daily so you don’t have liquid starling..

About 10 yards for the 22lr. The 22 mag smoothbore I would expect about 15 to 20 yards. I have both types and for rodents inside a barn or basement they are quite effective. They bleed out quite quickly due to large amount of holes in them.What is the effective range on the smooth bore 22?
On a good size bird like a starling, I would assume point blank, although I’ve never shot them from a smooth bore, maybe a tighter pattern / more stopping power.What is the effective range on the smooth bore 22?

Okay...I was curious on the smooth bore over the rifled. From what I have read rifled bore is only good for about 10 feet due to the twist put on the shot.About 10 yards for the 22lr.

Me and my father have a blast shooting carpenter bees around his farm. I will look forward to the cicadas for this very reason also.Okay...I was curious on the smooth bore over the rifled. From what I have read rifled bore is only good for about 10 feet due to the twist put on the shot.
Trying to get ready for this summer.
This is the first time since 1806 when the 13 year and the 17 year cicada hatches overlap and I remember when the red eyed ones came out the skies were full.
Thinking a cooler of beer, lawn chair, and a pile of 22 shot shells in the back yard would be a fun and relaxing day.
small birds are a LOT of work for maybe a single bite of meat.. you can find youtube videos on how to build this out of hardware cloth if you want to spend the time on it..I'd love to have one of these, but they are a little spendy for my taste. My starling issue is usually short lived and taken care of by the Mrod.
I have a collection of traps for SHTF. This looks like it would be a great food gatherer to go along with the others?
FYI - This thread has been a wealth of info!
Between this trap, hints at construction of another sort of trap and soybeans for shot in shot shells, this is golden stuff.
