Thread: Bird Predator Control

Not sure I would worry too much about rust @FatLabrador
A year or so back I gave some of mine a spruce up - the main thing I was trying to do was clean up the saddle that the foot plate pivots on - when they get rusty the foot plate won’t move freely
I always have a tin of Prolan in my bag so if anything is stiff - they get a good squirt of lanolin oil
I understand the foot plate can be bought pretty cheap - the owner of this business offered them to me - Grantley Imports - Welcome to Grantley Imports
Some of my Victor Pros are four years old - they just keep on going - at present they are mostly catching mice so are very sensitive to small rodents

@time out you wouldn't have a couple of theses left would you? And where do you buy your snap e traps looking at getting a few of those for the new place ( old man sold runoff for bigger runoff), has got 30 hectares in total of trees I think there blackwood trees anyway some habit for native birds, pheasants and quail. So gotta start traping this new place before spring. Shot 4 possums and caught 1 cat so far.

Cruz dealing with his last possum last Wednesday - he had a massive bleed from a tumor on his heart that night - he bounced back a bit in a few days - but ultrasound imaging and xrays yesterday confirmed an ugly tumor - he had another event this morning so we had him euthanized
I have had nearly 50 years of long living Labradors - Cruz was just 9.5 years - too short
Not sure how I will handle trapping without a dog - he was a great Mate
We had one last gentle walk with him on Sunday - he loved it.
Love your dogs while you have the chance - they don’t last forever!
