Thread: Possum trapping

Cheers for that, All my sets are about a hours walk into the bush. I am deep in there and have my spot marked on the GPS. Tomorrow im going to move all the traps (the first five sets on the left) that havent caught anything and looking at them i would say they havent caught anything because i have placed them in the wrong place or tree, I have noticed the wind has changed direction and it is blowing hard on that side of the mountain which might have something to do with it. I do not think it is cause of the lure i have tried. I would say its more to do with I was in a rush to set them when i first started because i have caught possums on all the lures i have experimented with now. Ive been hiking gear up for a few days and i will start on making a base camp tomorrow if i get the chance so i can stay there a night or two that will give me chance to set the traps properly, ill set the traps in the day and shoot them at night in a different area and see how that goes. I just got 10 more traps as well and ive sorted out a numbering system as i have found it very easy to lose track of what traps you have checked and what havent been checked. I also think a notebook is in order to log which traps have been successful and which needs moving.
