How is your A220 going ?

A mate has a couple of these at his work with a SA cat trap close by the 220, the possums are getting nailed and the carcasses are attracting the cats and the SA is getting cats.

I have mine in an area with very low possum numbers but it is unreal on the rats!!
Catching literally heaps of them.
Its an awesome trap sore head stoat.

I have got a few cameras about KH. I will set one up on this trap....once I get my hands in there and see how it operates

Also I agree with you on price. Fortunately this one was a gift so very grateful to have the opportunity to try one out.

Personally I would be keen if it caught feral cats as well !!!!

another one in a trap in different spot [:x] This cat is from the house cat that dissappear on farm for few years before it came back to retire at house.
It was so much alike I had to carry it back in trap and make sure the house cat was sleeping in its usual spot. ( its old now and sleeps most of day and night)
time to shoot a couple of hares and/or rabbits and set up a snare run at the river flats, see how big the problem is.
Its no wonder the animals are so flighty for stalking.
8 days from trap set till capture.

How many do you want to sell those dead cats you trapped?

In my woodshed, I used 4 rat poisons - Pest Off, Double Tap, and Ratabate.
Ratabate from Conovations was what they ate and left the other poisons for the smaller rats.

arnt they down south? lucky you. they're a major annoying pest, competition for food that native species eat. I hate them. same with rosella's and I'm not keen on the kukabura's around wiarewa way. ( released by govener gray way back. fortunately they haven't spread and are few and far between. yes I have seen one, and can confirm they do exist there, all be it years ago.) crows in hawks bay. its a sad state of affairs for natives in nz.

I am staying off steep ground while waiting for a hip repair job – so hope you guys can keep this thread going
My wife checked around 60 traps yesterday – not a single rat – this predator might have been cleaning out the rat traps - she looked to be well fed – I caught her in a rusty old cage a couple of weeks ago but she busted out when I put it in the back of the car to take her for a ride home
The Possum Master set on a log ramp has been quite successful - but I had expected the weekly fresh rabbit lure would have pulled in the odd mustilid
The same day I lost the tabby from the cage, I got a black one that had been seen for a while - in a Steve Allen trap – there is no escape from a SA trap

Hind leg on the tabby looks a bit mangled, what’s the go there?

Great job timeout.
Sorry to hear you have become part of the hippy community at your age.
Still the new hippie job today will last a hundred years.
The hills will be a challenge at the start, but life is full of hills , isn't that that truth.
Get through all those hills up and down and then just to add an insult, they try and put that little mound on top.
Good to hear your wife is backing you up and doing you trap lines.
Great wife you have! of course you know that, but they hardly get a mention and the ones that have found a good wife, that's real treasure.
Take care my friend and not to much couch timeout.

I just caught part of an artical on TV about sausages being used with good effect on cats and Stoat in a trial in nz. I think it was a rabbit and chicken sausage. Could anyone fill me in on details please?

Likewise I only got part of the article.
I did hear that when testing the dyed green sausage bait with game cameras set up a stoat went for one sausage only three minutes after it had been placed.
