First job.

I now have time on my hands so the long list of " things to do" is getting a look . Satrted with pulling in some traps for a clean up, they were getting a bit manky so hit them with the water blaster.

I knocked up a pig pen this arvo for a wild piglet I caught on Monday. Iron was kept off an old shed and the timber came off my mill so didn’t need to buy anything.

@sneeze hard to tell in your pic, are those traps DOC200's or old school Fenns?

I think they are DOC 150s? They belong to @Steve338, Iv had them on short term loan or years :yaeh am not durnk:

Ah, that's why they look so small!

Very few rats about, only catching the odd one every couple of weeks but ferrets have defiantly moved into the area.

What are you using for bait for the ferrets.

Used to use Ferrets to drive bunnys out of the warren back in the day. Now and then, a Ferret would go to ground.
Best "bait" we found was rabbit liver

Chicken necks as its what we have just now. . Iv used rabbit and a variety of stuff but generally whatever is on hand.

Yip DOC 150s, plenty strong enough for mustelids and rats.

Got a small feral cat the other day, it managed to push through the small gap in the mesh enough to get its head on the plate.
