Gotta ask, do you eat wallaby tails? I always imagine they would be like Ox tail stew?
Or any part of a wallaby?
Another tree hugger.

This bugger was huge,nothing in the traps yet but this big doe was perched on the cattle yards before the mighty stirling knocker her off.

I took this one and another one that was left out of the photo, they started coming and making a mess near the laundry room, there are still a few left to put an end to the invasionAttachment 252100
I made a large possum very tyred last night, if that counts.
One from the pine again.
Attachment 252223
And his mate looking from a macrocarpa
Attachment 252224
One wrong foot move at the pine at night wouldn't end well.
Attachment 252225
Didn't have to go far for this one was in an oak tree at the bottom of our drive.
Attachment 252248
Then another two just as it started to rain,while I was checking traps.
Attachment 252250
Few spits of rain doesn't stop a stirling effort.
Attachment 252333
That possum was playing in the out of bounds area at Waikanae Golf Club
Attachment 252405
2 hours in the rain,one coon.
Attachment 252413
Another grey.
Attachment 252433
Out there again tonight,fired a shot at coon way up high in a pine tree.Thought i missed but the stirling never misses.lol.Had the rifle leaning against the fence when I heard the thump of the coon hitting the ground.Went to retrieve it and the bugger was still alive,so blooded my new blade.
Attachment 252496

Took my boy and his mate out last night for a spot light, they put out a dozen traps. Come back to tell me there was a cat in the cat cage:) ended up shooting 9 possums, 2 were in there traps. on the way back to the house young fella said there's a cat. sneak mode down to some bull rushes shoot to half grown cats one gets away. get down the hill another 150m spot another two cats and get one.
So 4 cats for the night including cat in cage, 9 possoms and they got aother 2 in there traps this morning.
Total of 5 cats and 35 possoms in 14 days all within a 500m radius from the house
Quick cruise around the farm with the lad.
One fiery red and three small greys in the bag.

How many do you reckon you are getting a week/month Dundee? Seems to be plenty about in your hood!
With a mate on private property with a pig problem last evening, turning these pests into bacon.... Mmmm

Good work! I think I was getting about 12-13 posso's to a kg of fur, so you might be a bit less than that with some of the monsters you've been getting. Nice bit of beer money there!
Last sale was 17 coons $103.80,this bag has 10 in it it but a few little ones worth $59.80.Quote:

Off to a slow start but up to 11 so far. It's a bit of a beloclava and fingerless mittens kind of a night. Cold southerly gusting to 25 knots and I'm on the top of a hill! Alison Holsts spicy beef stew is in my Thermos and it's getting pretty close to dinner time. Whi doesn't love Alison Holst cookbook?Attachment 252938
