Thread: Possum trapping

Hello all, im new here and was looking for information on trapping possums. Ive searched the forums and have found a lot of good information on lures and so forth and i have tried pretty much most of the combinations of different lures without any luck. I know how to check for possums as i normally just shoot them but i have had no luck in catching them in traps. I am using Victor no1 traps i have 30 of them set over 3 nights at the moment and i have had a 0% catch rate... do i need to get more traps? I know the possums are there because i shot 12 last night in the trees above the dam traps when i was out checking the traps!..My last lure i tried was icing sugar and flour 1 part icing sugar to 5 parts flour. I have the trap set on the tree base around a foot away from the trunk and put the lure on the tree trunk. I have used this method for all the lures i have tried and i havent caught a single thing. any ideas on what im doing wrong?
