I agree that the price is low but I think that would have a lot to do with the fact that they moulted in late September.

Did I ever tell you we invented and held the Patent for the possum plucker. I am looking up above my desk at the Letters of Patent right now.

Proud moment, Mate and I won the inventers award at the Field Days.

We also hold the Letters of Patent to the Nooski Trap.

$100 per kilo, on average its 20 possums to the kg so yeah he should of got at least $200. I don't know how big they were.

Just been told 8 in the talley were furry joeys not worth plucking so that makes sense now,and one adult coon was unpluckable because of second growth.

Nooski are strong in Rotovegas. we were led to believe that David Blah blah blah did all the work. It know makes sense that you are involved and the main instigator . Looking forward to a trek wid you, Spook and Rushy, Pengy, Gibo and other grey power members. I'm keen, and so are you and the rest. Normally I go to the Bach for my Birthday, but this year I keen for the trek.

Yeah that is a good idea GA. A trek, any ideas where we will go.

I just had a trek, Drove down to Taumaranui yesterday. Shot a red yearling just on daylight this morning and drove home. To tough, I like to lie around the campfire for a few days bullshitting and shooting the breeze. We have friends coming tomorrow and Wife has to go to work.

In reply to your first remarks here GA all I can say is 'I will write the book'.

20 possums to a kg we average about 10 to 12 down here in the deep south

I spotlight with a .22 but around here they are getting harder to find been out on a few mates farms and haven't seen a thing normally just hand pluck them and save it up till the price comes up then that's my yearly ammo stash sorted getting access is the biggest issue and would need to be going out every nite to really make something of it

We have a bloke come in ,he sets 200 traps a day. He got 3000 in a month -not bad .

Another reason for no poison

Weighed up the 10 I shot and plucked last week, 409 grams. I feel disappointed in my efforts, must get more!!
