    Cheers for the advice guys.
    I'm using cinnamon, icing sugar and flour in one mix then rubbing it on the tree. Does anyone mix there bait with water as well for a different consitancy?

    No problem at all sparrow, I'm glad I can give something back.

    Anyway... (10 traps)
    tue 1
    wed 5
    thur 1
    fri 0
    sat (today)6

    Couple days were pretty poor, didnt set traps for the fri morning. Been finding a lot of set off but empty traps this week sadly, any tips on getting a better conversion rate?

    Carrying possums by the tails in my hands is what I've been doing but can see it getting a bit much if I start getting more than six lol anyone have any genius ideas?

    Thinking of maybe investing in a farm bike once I have a decent amount of traps out there.
    And is there any quicker alternative to using your hands to pluck I heard there's a machine but can I just use a cordless pair of sheers or something like that?

    Cheers
    Scotty
