Thread: What little pesties did you bowl over today?

Outstanding effort, @Kaneo76. Never seen any mustelids shot like that before, wouldn't have even thought it possible.

Cheers for the comments and likes.

It was to dark to check the Doc trap before work but just checked it now and picked up a female from the same spot - thinking it was the one that got away yesterday. Rubbed it all around the trap and reset it again.

Shame there isnt a tail competition in Hawke's Bay that I know of, either way its a win for the birds in the area

Hey Kaneo the tail competition is nation wide. Just put the tails in your freezer and drop them into any hunting and fishing store anytime during the month of november.

Each tail = 1 entry. Great prizes.

Sweet, Cheers for the info Kukuwai.

Just done a mission in the pouring rain to recover the tails.

Now have four bagged up in the freezer. Good stuff.

Amazing work on the ferrets @Kaneo76 - great that you saved the tails
The last one I got was about six months back - I recall being told that a piece of skin nailed inside the doc250 box would help to pull in the next one - so I cut a fairly big piece of skin off him and along with the tail - put it in the freezer - only just remembered it tonight, so found it and will try out some tomorrow. Putrid smell cutting skin off that ferret - must be desperate but worth a try. Also using Connovation Lure-it Muskattract recently - putrid stuff and hasn’t yet pulled in another mustilid - but I keep trying stuff - but something is attracting hogs

Hi Time out,

Good luck on the trapping.

Be interested to see how your trap goes with the ferret skin, nasty work cutting that up I bet - not much smells worse than a ferret.

Had a hog in another Doc trap the other night. I get alot more hogs than mustelids.

Wild cats are the other problem on this property.

Cheers,

Yes winchester, felt a bit like i was throwing stones to start with but have them zeroed at 60m now and go from there. the loudest part is when they hit the target. pricey tho should really get a .22lr

Sure, but those subs make the WMR pretty versatile?

Please explain what the benefits of using subsonic rounds for WMR? Seems like a waste?
