Thread: Possum Trapping

Been a while since I updated this..

I've got just over 30 traps at the moment.

Probably averaging about 6 a day right now taking into account the bad days. My records 9. I've hit it a few times, still not got those double figure numbers!
Bagged a quad as well which is great lol
Have learned a ton since I started but still got a lot to learn. I spend more time in the bush than I used to due to having more traps, taking more time setting them properly and scouting new trapping spots. It probably takes me 3-4 hours sometimes more, depends how good a day it is and where my traps are etc. Feeling pretty fit as well I might add. Really need to invest in a quality pair of waterproof boots though...like really lol
Caught a black one the other day, I skinned it but not sure what to do with it now. I've only caught 2 so far and a few in-betweens.
Also I swapped the cinnamon in my bait mix for vanilla essence which has been working nicely for me although I have problems finding the right consistency of my bait I prefer it to be powder but cant really get that with the essence?? Got a little box of ginger as well I assume its in powder form, might try that next week to see what its like.
