I watched a couple of videos showing a few different traps and snares, including this one. Ive baited it with some bread just to start drawing birds into the yard. When I snag a sparrow or robin or 2, I'll switch over to chicken scratch, or just some good seed. Theses hooting m/f'ers have woken me out of a day-off slumber 1 too many times.Time to see if they live up to their reputation of being delicious as well as annoying!
