Thread: Possums

Hey guys, I'm new to this site and hunting in general so I need a lot of advice.

I want to start trapping possums to sell plucked fur for money, experience and some well needed time outside the city.
I need to know what I should know before I get started and how everything works.
The big problem I'm having is what the doc thinks of possum trappers. Would they allow me into the area to set leg hold traps? Or would they find them inhumane?

Can anybody here give me their possum plucking experiences and basic information on how to do it? Things like 'how many possums make a kilo of fur' and 'how often you find traps with no possums in them.'
Also, how is the doc going with 1080 these days? Surely they will let me set leg traps if they are allowed to gas wildlife?

All information is appreciated, thanks guys.
