I have 4 traps out right now but only catching birds in one of them consistantly.
There is lots of seed on the ground in the fall and the birds are not crazed for food.
They will eat around the trap for easy pickings in the fall. When it gets cold the game will
change in your favor as they need more food to survive like ducks.
I always leave the doors down and put alot of corn around the area to get them started.
It usually takes a week ot two to get them around the trap and to start catching them.
Be patient and check your bait every other day to make sure the rats and squirrels are not chowing on your corn.
Good Luck,
