As a by product of my rabbit culling business I send frozen rabbit pieces to Windy Hill Sanctuary on Great Barrier Island for catching feral cats. Their website says the have killed over 200 feral cats. I want youbtoo know that the good work which you and your mates were involved in, continues to this day. I'm very proud to be supporting Wild Hill Sanctuary ongoing environmental protection and suggest that other rabbit shooters could supply rabbit baits to other predator free conservation projects.

Last week I caught a massive male ferret by hanging a couple of whole, bloody rabbits inside an empty wire dog kennel with ring/circle of DOC200 traps under the rabbit. The ferret trigger three of them and got catch in two! Classic booby trap!

Unbelievable how large those ferrets get . Glad to know that work is still happening on Barrier , they had banned or were about to ban any new cats on the Island , I don't think there was a huge feral-problem back then so things must have gone downhill a bit . When you see those Chevron-Skinks you realise how special they are , big-ones around 30cm are pretty-amazing , most people probably don't know they exist
