Thread: Possum trapping

Prebait is a great tool, it makes your future trap sites a part of the coons routine before you get there. You can sort the best spots for traps etc with a minimum of work adjusting markers etc to make life easy. A mate does this with great success, prebaits for up to six weeks then in for the kill. He runs 100 odd traps and sits around 90% for a week or longer.

For lure we always used whole meal flour, icing sugar, cooking oil and aniseed or rose essence. The oil puts some water resistance into it.
