    Funny you ask that @Dundee my post isn't in order and I caught the cat first so I cut the tail off the cat and tie it to the roof of the trap hopeing it would wiggle in the wind plus I put a possum front leg in.

    Then the next day I caught a hedgehog and it ate the possum leg and tried to eat the cats tail. I rebaited it with another possums front leg and a few days later I caught the ferret.

    And at work the bosses had previously told me they hadn't had a Possum on the vineyard in 22years of owning it, this guy came in for a bit of hare leg that was intended for vineyard cat no.15 since november this one is giving me the run around, oh well bit of surprise fluff for the bag a bonus.

    I think Doc developed them it's basically a Timms you fix to something firmly the bar still comes under their chin and I suppose it's all over a bit quicker cos they are hanging........ But your right Catanator would of been better 😄

    Great work @Sparrow - getting the kids involved is great - I love the picture of your Son with the straw in his mouth - the family will love that picture forever!
    So good to see the cats and mustilids coming out - all destructive animals and this is the time of the year to get them before the birdlife is nesting
    Looks like the Trapinator is a lethal tool - so much better than the Possum Master - steel around their neck is more humane than a piece of string to strangle them
    My Mate was showing me how to rebait and reset a Possum master a couple of weeks back (he has been operating about 30 of them) - nicely reset and turned the safety off - he bent down to put flour around the tree trunk and the bastard thing tripped and the handle hit him between the eyes - ironically the next one he checked did the same thing but didn’t hit him - it might have been the rain on the trip mechanism
    I hate using the Warrior traps - even though the steel safety frame makes them safe to work on - I don’t like putting my hand in there - the sharp steep jaws must be a very rapid death - give me a Sentinel every time!
    If anyone wants to read a great test report on all types of possum and ferret traps - this document has to be the best -

    Marley checking out his last rat with me - sadly we had to take him back to the breeder as he was limping on a front left leg after modest exercise - they took x rays back in May to see if he was OK for breeding but decided not to keep him. Our Vet was able to access the x rays for us and I was fortunate to have expert Vet friends who advised us he had early signs of ED and advised us to take him back.
    After owning him for six weeks - it was a sad process to give him up! We are again looking for a young Labrador - we have had five puppies throughout our lives - so not going there again.
