Making a Box Trap - Live Pheasants

This is a video of me making a couple of home made non typical box traps and catching wild ring necked pheasants (Hens).

To make this trap even more effective, substitute the trigger mechanism with a figure 4, like in my video "Making a figure four"

How to build a trap. How to make a bird trap.

These traps can be modified in size and bait to catch many different species of wild animals alive.

To name a few animals that these traps will catch alive: They will trap ringnecked pheasants, trap ruffed grouse, trap partridge, trap quail, trap pigeon, trap crow, trap all different types of game birds.

They will also trap squirrels, trap rats, trap most rodents, and many other different birds and animals.

I never knew it when I made the vid, but it's proper name is arapuca trap.

The background music is one of my favorites, Jan Hammer's music from the classic Miami Vice series...If you like it too...Purchase it.

Habitat and habits (Ring necked Pheasent)
PREFERRED HABITAT : Quality habitat for ring-necked pheasants provides adequate food and cover in close proximity. Ring-necked pheasant habitat is often associated with areas of high soil fertility where agricultural crops and other vegetation provide the basic food and cover requirements. Cultivated farmland interspersed with patches of brush or woodlots often provides some of the best habitat for ring-necked pheasants.

Ring-necked Pheasants are omnivores with diet varying by season, eating a wide variety of plant and animal food. Although the importance of individual food items varies among regions and even locally. In winter, they eat mostly seeds, grains, roots, and berries, Ring-necked pheasants feed primarily on plant foods, especially waste grains, but also on seeds of weeds and grasses, acorns, buds and soft parts of herbaceous vegetation, fleshy fruits, insects, and occasionally snakes and small rodents. Common snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) fruits were the most important. Small amounts of chokecherry, buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis), and wild rose. prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), sweetclover, and root fragments of prickly lettuce uprooted by plowing.

Habitat and habits (Ruffed Grouse)
It is found wherever there are even small amounts of broad-leaved trees, especially poplars, birch, hop-hornbeam, and alders, which provide the catkins and buds that are its staple winter food. Hardwood bush with deciduous trees are important as food and shelter. A good winter for the Ruffed Grouse is one with soft, deep snow that lasts. If the snow cover is inadequate or has a hard crust, or if there are long periods of cold and wind, grouse cannot find enough suitable protection. They are forced to seek shelter in clumps of thick conifer. Under these conditions grouse lose weight and many fall prey to hawks and other predators. Some grouse may starve; others freeze to death.

Never trap and harvest any animal until you know your local laws...You can do this by checking with your local DNR...(Department of Natural Resources)


None of the birds in this video were harvested, they were all released unharmed.

@multiplepets read the description

[Smith2627]

how did you do the `trip`twigs?

[multiplepets]

Is this leagal? because i'm pretty sure its against the law to trap pheasants

[ObiWanGinobiliTopFan]

@tinderfungus Like a figure 4 deadfall trap or something similar? Would that work on a pheasant?..Hmmm birds tend to be sort of wary of anything that's out of the ordinary but I guess you could always camoflage the rock with moss or grass..

[MrIlovekilling123]

i was wondering if you can catch ruff grouse, have you ever did before?

[tinderfungus]

If you must fend for yourself in the wild, for whatever reason, make one of the hundreds of "instant death" i.e. humane traps. One day you might find yourself in a unescapable situation, just like that pheasant, in your day-to-day life. Have some f'kn empathy.
