I've done my share of work in the bush too. Trapping stoats and working for a number of years setting up Maungatautari. The problem with trapping is that it's not just about possums. You've got to hit the rats and stoats too. Which means a shit load of traps. Trapping might be a viable alternative in the front country but sure as fuck isn't in the back country. Even if we had enough people to do it. Which we don't.
