You caught 90 out of 120 of "those" traps (those meaning the modern ones only allowed today)
AMAZING result if so !!!!!

Do you set on board ramps or direct on ground ?
All Pine trapping and before Catkins ??

You are plucking "cold" Possums ??

Bodies - what are you doing with them - pet food ??

Hi Sarvo, we use victa and dukes, ground set as we are in the pine forest - the catkins are just starting. We pluck within 5 mins of dispatching them or as soon as they let their fur go. We sell the bodies to the same guy that takes our fur.
