    Trapping.

    Set up some traps on the weekend. Did a pre bait on some Thursday and set up 16 traps Friday. Three in traps Saturday. Had a couple get out set some more and changed a couple.







    This morning ended up with seven. One on a poplar the rest in pines. Two on a double on a old man pine .





    10 possum total.
    600 grams fur.
    $1.80 kg for body head/claws off and guts out.
    If I average $10/possum.
    2.5 hrs work ( setting, plucking/gutting, pulling traps. Not including travel as was already on job)

    So 10 possum/ 2.5 hour = $40/hr.

    Not bad.
