    I think your putting the heat on them and have thinned them out, so would suggest trapping known trees ones that you have regular success. Some trees/ runs are just the one every possom likes. So target these ones which catch regualry which will mean more miles but better to put traps where you catch rather than just going round checking empties. That and /or try a differnt flavour of lure to break up your patterns. Perhaps they were in the pines eating pollen and now that season is over they have moved to a new tucker source .

    up here this time of year until Feb we shoot a heap of possoms in paddocks grazing grass like sheep out in the open without a tree in 300 yards. So perhaps they have changed there foraging habbits also.

    Thanks for the updates enjoy your yarns a great deal!
