Thread: Possum Trapping

Day 2: 14
I moved a good few. Road side not quite as good, creek trees at back were pretty poor.
Day 3: 9
Road side very poor, creek trees I got 2/13 traps.
On the other hand, that ridge and the manuka bit is doing good. Got 3 traps in each and they all are going off each night.

I think ill move all but one creek trap. Stuff that ridge full of traps for a night, up and along all the runs. I'm curious to see what the results look like. I'll stick more in the manuka section as well. I reckon I'll only be in there for 1 or 2 nights but we will see.
If I can find my vanilla essence bottle I'll switch it with the cinnamon when I go back out just to mix it up.

Getting myself one of those trail cameras to do a bit of research on the possums. Hoping to learn a lot from this. Will be looking to test different things and seeing what seems to work best. Plastic bags above traps, different lure etc etc. Also I want to see what trap shy possums will be like when they notice one. I'll probably stick camara on runs for best results will also be able to find out how many possums are using a run each night on average. I could go on all day about the things I want to do with this but hopefully its going to do what I hope it can....could be good for pigs too
