Thread: Trapping with the Terrors.

Father and son's weekend so took the boys to set 20 traps in three spots weather was perfect for it and the boys love trapping possums and its so easy to take most of my kids to do it.Im no expert but thought id take some pics to show how I do it and my multi tool that is a standard variation of which quite a few trappers use which in turn was given to me buy a old trapper.We set twenty traps in three areas I set 4 and 4 and 12 the 8 were in two area's I know real well and the twelve were set in a new area to see how and were they are operating,we took 6 out of the 8 I set and then 7 out of the new area with a couple of misfires so pretty happy. Of those 15 I was told by the terrors that 3 were theres.they know the rules and plucked there 3 while spending the money already from there millions they were getting.Here are the pics.
Loaded and ready to go


hound is keen as well

Here's my tool it hammers staple's hammers possums heads and cuts shit out the way and helps me hop over fences.And it has a notch to remove staples aswell.

These are pics of tracks and highways and possum magnets like trees in the middle of paddocks.

boys with there millions and some driving lessons thrown in as part of the deal.

After all that I didn't get pics of my traps but I conceal them in the dirt and put aniseed just above my traps at around there reach hight.Great fun for kids to come along to heaps of pics two to show mum.

Some well used highways there for sure.

Great when you get those little ones involved and something they'll remember and they're learning good skills

Exactly they spend the setting up part climbing trees and trowing sticks and general boys stuff but there still watching ya.its the bits like donging them on the head they enjoy the most .plucking not so much but minecraft keeps there mind tickingI don't get that shit ....never will.

Looking forward to getting my grand daughters fishing on the lake, first job will be getting them in a boat! Got great photos of my kids first snapper, theyre in their 30s now

Good stuff neckshot :thumbup:

Anything that gets them out of the house is good and if it makes a few bucks all the better!
