Thread: The Oldies possum trapping again

After gutting, de-limbing and cleaning up it was after 6pm so we were buggered. Today we started earlier but we only got 69 so it was an earlier night (only 5.30pm). We have a good routine now. We are currently only trapping the road side so clear the traps until we have 3 and all pluck together. The boys use the back of the truck but I do the way I was taught by standing up and holding the possum. I find the body stretches better and even though I am slower it is easier for me than the truck deck (and cleaner). Back out tomorrow but showers are forecast so hopefully they don't eventuate.
