Someone convinced me a few years ago it dries quicker if "thrown" and I've stuck to it.

Some bits and pieces of todays mission. A BB trap I found 4yrs ago, works well. One that got away. Good winter condition.

The tails are hard to pluck, but we get as much as we can off them, some you might get half but mostly only 50mm. Selling for pet food is a little more work, the buyer will have his procedures that need following, eg glands removed from under the tail. MPI have a scree of paper work and an test like exam that has to bee passed to acquire a certificated number. All worth it tho if you have a regular supply. Happy house building @berg243.

What beeman said regarding pet food. . Paperwork to do and a test. Glands and big/small intestine plus asshole. Trapped or shot head/neck. From a area with no poisoning.

Dropped some of on Monday at the buyers. Had a heap of banana boxes with possum carcasses in them. Told that was part of a three tonne consignment. For that week. This supplier will do between a tonne to 3 tonne a week. Made my eyes pop out I tell ya.

One possum that's going to bee hard to trap. .

That's one smart possum alright, hope he doesn't tell his mates how to get around the traps.

Keep a eye on this thread, the oldies are out doing it again. that's them . Having fun. a possum planking.

This is most of the Old crew at rest. 4 possums today caught by 2 legs, 2x front n 2x back. heaps of pine pollen filled guts now.

.. Oh, near forgot. They do work. 77 possum day.

I have to say that possum guts were the worst smelling ones I've come across. Pigs, deer and goats all were tolerable.
