PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple device which captures a harmful animal such as a deer and wild boar and facilitates facility work.SOLUTION: The harmful animal capture device includes as main members: an extention cable stretched at a ground position higher than a height of a harmful animal to be captured a capture net to which cable passage tools are attached in its periphery at predetermined intervals and a drawing cable passing through the cable passage tools of the capture net. In a state in which one side of the capture net in a longitudinal direction is hung by the extension cable, the facing lower side is hung onto the ground surface, an edge of the drawing cable is extended from one corner of the facing lower side and fixed, thereby preparation for capture is arranged. The net is dropped by dashing force of the harmful animal itself intruding into the net and capture operation is thereby performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】 鹿や猪などの害獣を捕獲する簡単で施設作業の容易な装置の提供を目的とする。【解決手段】 本発明による害獣捕獲装置は、捕獲すべき害獣の背丈よりも高い地上位置に張架される張架索条と、周囲に所定間隔で索条通し具を付けた捕獲ネットと、該捕獲ネットの索条通し具に通した絞り索条とを主要部材として構成され、捕獲ネットの縦方向の一辺を張架索条に懸架した状態で対向下辺を地面に垂らし、該対向下辺の一隅から前記絞り索条の端部を延ばして固定することにより捕獲準備が整うものである。ネットに侵入する害獣自身の突進力でネットが落下して捕獲動作が行われる。【選択図】図3
