I would suggest going to your local Gander Mountain, Cabelas, Academy, Bass Pro Shop, and just buy one! For sparrows, assuming that is what you are trapping, this is a good video, www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLcK6Ih16Gc good luck!

I got mine at Bass Pro Shop.
Every night, I see bunny rabbits, yet I haven't managed to catch a single one in my trap. Perhaps there's something I'm missing... I use kale leaves and baby carrots as bait... Perhaps the rabbits can smell me on the trap or it's too shiny?
Warning: I have very little experience when it comes to falconry. Don't take anything I say as fact. Do your own research and listen to your sponsor.

a rabbit will not just go into a trap.. it needs to be a double door trap and put in their trailway and cover it with all that is natural to make it look like an escape route a single door trap will work but not as well..
I alway made box traps for catching rabbits. This is pretty close to what I used except I used wire on the back instead of a solid board. Rabbit Live Trap

Rabbit trapping is not rocket science - yes, this is an old thread! Many of the one door Havahart traps have been great for trapping rabbit and with one door. Make sure the door is big 8x8 10x10 - no need to cover the traps.
The bait? Apples. You will score with apples every time and it may take a day or two but you'll have success.
I smash apples along side the traps to apple them up you may say!
Trap on sign - don't expect to walk outside, place a trap and catch a rabbit - trap where rabbits live. Look for sig - with snow - tracks dropping!

My grandmothers last husband used this type of trap but the back wall was wire. He trapped rabbits all the time and used apples as the bait. He trained rabbit bogs for other people at one time.
