    Cheers Time Out, I had pretty much given up on the 3 A24's we have they hadn't fired in 7 months all baited with chocolate, I think I have seen a A12 possum bait in the shed so will change up and see what happens ��

    I agree that the ALP is certainly not "see you in 6 months" as they claim. As you say @time out sometimes only 2 months. Its pretty close to false advertising i reckon !!

    Haven't had any action out of my A12 possum traps for the last year but do get a few rats with the A24s. This picture from a couple of days ago.

    I understand the foot plate can be bought pretty cheap - the owner of this business offered them to me - Grantley Imports - Welcome to Grantley Imports
    Some of my Victor Pros are four years old - they just keep on going - at present they are mostly catching mice so are very sensitive to small rodents
    [/QUOTE]

    @time out you wouldn't have a couple of theses left would you? And where do you buy your snap e traps looking at getting a few of those for the new place ( old man sold runoff for bigger runoff), has got 30 hectares in total of trees I think there blackwood trees anyway some habit for native birds, pheasants and quail. So gotta start traping this new place before spring. Shot 4 possums and caught 1 cat so far.

    Cruz dealing with his last possum last Wednesday - he had a massive bleed from a tumor on his heart that night - he bounced back a bit in a few days - but ultrasound imaging and xrays yesterday confirmed an ugly tumor - he had another event this morning so we had him euthanized
    I have had nearly 50 years of long living Labradors - Cruz was just 9.5 years - too short
    Not sure how I will handle trapping without a dog - he was a great Mate
    We had one last gentle walk with him on Sunday - he loved it.
    Love your dogs while you have the chance - they don’t last forever!

    Sorry mate, never easy to lose family
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    8 rats and 1 mouse from the victors.

    1 Weasel in a doc 200.

    Getting very hard to find a pest around the Park - three of us checked about 150 traps this week - four rats and one possum - mostly invading around the boundaries - so the birds should be fairly safe during nesting
    I had to find another Lab - I located Marley with a breeder closely connected to Cruz - he is 15 months old so still a big puppy, eager to learn and still has to grow to match his sire and dam - I have been showing him around my trap lines -

    A nice big buck for you to carry around!

    Fifth rat here since I changed the gas bottle - maybe pre-feeding works - a month or so of eating the lure bottle and they keep coming back for more - suckers!

    Love your work time out.

    I volunteered for a trapping programme last year and it took a while to roll out , funding applications etc but the organisers did a great job. We then built 100 Doc 200's and took a couple of weekends to get them out round an estuary near home I must have ld my hand up too high as I have ended up co ordinating the field work but finally got to see the fruits of the labour last couple of weeks checking my easier line with my boys and the other yesterday, the other volunteers have been reporting a few critters also.
