Thread: Possum fur

one more on the old pine,may as well wrip all the traps out and just leave the ones around the pine. Its catching a few!

Best I ever got was 5 on one cyanide lure on the same night. But that pine is the gift that just keeps on giving

What’s an average nights catch if you set say 25 traps?

thats like asking the winning lotto numbers.

Visiting Blenheim last week, I sold hand plucked fur at Wool Marketing Marlborough for $110/kg.

Going back a few years possum products used to be exempt from income tax to encourage hunters... I suppose that is long gone? can anyone confirm?

Sold some hand plucked fur the other day for $115 at Mciver Engineering, Rotorua. Basically Bush agent. The price had just risen from $110. Hopefully the price continues in that direction, which used to be typical for summer vs winter prices. The process had changed since i last sold fur. No more cash cheques anymore. You get paid through a bank deposit, so need to take your bank account number.
