Thread: Bird Predator Control

Firstly @Timeout re TNZ recording program: It doesn't take long to set up but I had trouble imputing the trap locations using GPS co-ordinates, for some reason it thought I was in the North Island, so gave up and just entered each trap manually as best I could on the map and that worked ok. It is easy to record trap kills (my partner can even do it on her phone), produces a good map showing trap locations and kills so easy to see hotspots. It also has a good reports section and can generate monthly totals, graphs, bait profiles etc. So far so good.

Secondly I caught my first stoat today, happy to get one but sad to know they are around!! I hit a rabbit with the hilux 2 days ago so chopped it up and put the back legs in a couple of 200 boxes and that's what got him



At the point when I realised it was a stoat I remembered all the info I have gained from reading these forums:

1. Rub it inside the boxes (I took it for a walk and rubbed in in a few of them).

2. If its fresh squeeze its belly and rub the urine on the box too. (I was surprised how easy this was got some on a couple of boxes)
3. Keep the tail - Swamp comp - How and when does one enter the tail?? Its in my freezer
