    The Oldies possum trapping again

    @BeeMan, @Mooseman and I have been out trapping again this week. We thought we would be adventurous and set 120 traps on Tuesday. Started our day yesterday at 9am and after about the first 20 traps we were at 100% caught!!!! Finally finished clearing the traps at 4pm and had a total of 90 plucked. 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.
