BillyXmas546 very cool thank you will add that to any new traps i place

kukuwai well spotted it’s actually just sand that blows in from the estuary, if I turned it 90 degrees it would swamp the treadle and render it used, buggered if I know why the weasels live around...

Nice one @KuKuwa had bloody forgotten and am away next weekend so would’ve missed out just dropped our 31 off thought we were in for a much bigger number early on but last couple of months have been...

Ah and the wire on each end had no openings? So the kiwi can’t get its beak round the baffle maybe, some one will know.

Hi Finnwolf it is surprising what gets through a small hole, but I imagine those small holes are to deter kiwi and weka, did you notice if there was a second baffle or greater distance to the...

Hi sore head stoat Opening up the holes on the trapinators is something I have thought about but they are on public land and I don’t need the drama of someone’s foxy or Jack Russell sticking their...

My estuary lines are obviously pretty flat so i just carry a 20lt bucket with every thing in so its accessible and the crescent in my hand/pocket for opening the traps, started with a pack but was...

Welcome to the Forum BillyXmas546 if your gonna post in the other threads they appreciate it if you post something in the introductions thread. But a dead ferret is a good ferret so you are all...

From memory it was a mix of rabbit or liver, have caught a couple before on separate occasions but this was unreal, amazing how they get in ............. but they don’t get out!

Finally Covid restrictions, work and tides aligned to allow me and my boys to go and peel some critters out of my estuary traps after 7 weeks.

Obviously not the priority at the moment but they mentioned in the news they have discovered ferrets were subseptable to covid 19, hence that’s what they are testing the first vaccine attempts on.

Yep well I got a surprise also with my swamp comp prize, 134797
Put it on the side of my compost heap where I know there’s mice and the odd rat and the hog is all I have caught in nearly 4 weeks.

Interesting about the rats, there are no carbs in my traps at all at the moment (egg and rabbit) and last round it was 6 ships to 1 Norway, so not a good test model. I occasionally get a half eaten...
