    Have been shooting a few around the yard lately, had a friends kids up and we shot some, did a few little jaunts on the 4 wheeler and shot some more. All up have got 77 for the past 6 weeks. The first kilo or 2 takes a bit, but once that bag starts filling up, its not too difficult to get motivated and add another 10, then another 10 etc. Took it to the buyer on Monday, 77 possums, 5.6 kg of fur, approx 14 per kilo, $730. Good coin for a few nights shooting.

    Started pissing down about 4 in the morning. The full works... thunder, lightning, wind.

    So had a few wet ones to sort out this morning...

    First time ever I have thought something other than the flat deck hilux would be useful

    Yep, rather you than me @kukuwai. Only one thing worse than plucking a wet possum, that's plucking two. . Pulled all of my traps, looks like another week before they go out again. Happy plucking.

    Only positive that i can see is...

    The mesh bag of fur drying by the fire is at least making the house smell good

    The bigger ones are easier to pluck. Joeys are quite firm.
