Thread: Possum trapping plan

In my younger days (caught many hundred of the furry critters for pocket money) I use to use flour, vegetable oil and a splash of vanilla essence mixed together till it was like play dough.
It was a very durable bait. Anything but heavy rain did jack all to it.
Even once the bait was gone the coons would chew the bark where some of the oil had soaked in.
Was good stuff.
