ETS Pad...?

what are members views on pad placing in a trap......if the lower half of the front/trap folds down to make a landing board, once the pigeon has landed and walked onto the fixed part of the trap (which is usually within the confines of the loft) and is registered....is this permitted

any thoughts anyone ...?

yes david my y/bird loft has a wooden sputnik with a piece cut out of the floor for the pad and then a false ply floor over the pad and works a treat

David our Ets traps are like a shelf the pad goes in the bottom and we have bob wires on the back we have 3,of these all in the separate lofts.

all ets pads should be in the loft/trap sow when the bird entes it can not come back out again sputnik traps the pad should go on the bottom shelf not the landing board out side

That's my type of thinking Mark Absolute joke here with what I have seen at times in my area etc & how birds walk on the pad before entering the loft & then decide to go for a fly before being contained inside the loft. Enough to make an old STB man, like me pull his hair out.
