Thread: Bird Predator Control

Some amazing pictures of predators (cats and stoats) Guys – I wish I could catch a few but all we see at present is empty traps – around 200 checked over about 70 acres in the last few days and not a sign of an animal anywhere – just 5 rats during July. @sore head stoat sent me a message yesterday with an amazing picture of a high-country stoat – he has asked me to post the picture and story for him -

My mate and myself headed up in the high country to check a trap line that I run up there. A couple of weeks ago I had replaced the eggs and other baits that I use in the traps so I was feeling full of expectation that we may have caught something. The 7th trap in and we had a freshly caught weasel. Another 3 traps further on and we had a stoat then 6 more traps and we caught our white stoat. I have caught stoats in winter with plenty of white on them but not with a pure white body like this one. We went on to catch 1 more stoat and 10 rats.

Thanks for sharing that special picture @sore head stoat
