Thread: Possuming 2019

@kukuwai awesome thanks for the response. Yeah I have come across that fella before but I only watched his deer stalk video (if it’s the same guy I’m thinking of)

Is there much use laying in summer or does that just cut into your winter game?

I’m sure the southern Ruahines haven’t had a 1080 drop in yonks

This would be a question for a fur buyer, or someone with more knowledge than me about the end product.

My understanding is that during summer the possum fur is less desirable for the buyer as it is shorter.

This said however, i did receive text messages from the buyer all last summer saying they were buying fur.

From a trapping perspective, given that the possums are carrying less fur in summer. The only thing i can see is that we would need to catch more possums per kg.
@BeeMan may know more than me
