    Get stuck onto em Sako851. Fur is currently worth $130 per kg (aprox 13 possums)

    The white stuff is the cheapest flour you can find. I put some icing sugar with mine, also a few drops of liquid cinnamon but you can use other essences ie anniseed etc.

    Check out the info in either of these youtube channels if you haven't done it before you will no doubt find it helpful. Especially the stuff about tuning and setting traps.

    There are heaps of cheap chinese made traps on trade me and although they work ok you get what you pay for.

    As BeeMan mentioned Dukes or Bushmaster are a far superior quality

    I really enjoy the young fella's vids on the Keeping It Wild channel you listed. Just seems a good, down to earth guy who doesn't need all the flash bush gear that so many regard as essential

    Just confirmed yup I like that guy, he does the old barefoot stalk in one of his videos. Haven’t seen his possuming ones yet but will get onto it
