First video of our starling hunt!
- Thread starter UTskinner
- Start date
Nice video. Man with a set up like that you can pop starlings all day long. All you need is a cooler, huge tank of air and alot of pellets.

Went to the hardware store and picked up a couple of hinges and brackets. Cut the glass free from the van. Then mounted the hinges by screwing them into the body of the van just above the windows. Epoxied the lower half of the hinge to the grass. Used all thread for rods and tacked some angle iron just below the windows for the support rods. Going to modify a few more windows on the other side.

The innards at 4:43, awesome.
You guys know how to do it in STYLE and COMFORT. Looks high and dry there and I wouldn't want to just sit in the sun for very long.
Pop-up windows are something I want for GS shooting!
ONLY ON A FARM would this happen.

Hoytwon,
The starling trap is a simple envelope trap that is used around the world to trap specific species of birds depending on the opening size of the slot. We made an earlier version that was permanent and worked fantastic. But we have multiple locations around us that are loaded with starlings so we made a smaller version of the first trap and anchored it to a trailer so that we could move it from place to place. Google envelope trap and it will give you a good idea how it works and show you how to build your very own trap (I highly recommend that you make it mobile that way it is more versatile).

Thanks for sharing this! It looks like the trapped starlings are great attractors for the other ones. Maybe they feel safe when they see live birds and come right in lol. The van is awesome. You guys take the job seriously and in complete comfort lol! Great stuff, hopefully more videos coming.
