Thread: Possum Payday For Boys

Every Friday and Saturday night the Dundee bros head out to set traps,Dan Dundee aged 13 and Sean Dundee 9.

Sean D uses his Grandads cage trap and has caught two possums and the neighbours cat and has also plucked two possums after a spotlight.

Dan D uses these new leg hold traps as the ole faithful gins are banned.

AWSOME

Nice one fellas

Anyone got a rough idea how much the fur is worth of a single possum if you pluck it?

I've got a few bags of it but I've been a bit slack at doing it the last couple of times. The 17 makes a bit of a mess of them sometimes.

$6

Iv found thick winter coat around 12-14 to a kilo and 16-20 summer but its not something I have done heaps of

The fur is so light that even 20 doesn't seem like it'd make a kilo. That's a liter of water.
I'll have to pop it on the scales and find out how much the fur I've got so far weighs.

So $6 ya bloody tarwillingers.....

Oh yea and b4 u drop it to the buyer man... Lay it out in the bathroom with shower on full blast.... 10kg will become 11kg

On average $5 bux a coon we average 18 to 20 a kilo here,I see my young fella has joined the eldest boy Dan got some good footage last weekend searching for new territory too trap.Yeah I think a small squirt on a mist sprayer might help

thats a good story
