    Good job on the deer Wildman. It is not our @possum trapper he is a few ridges over using legal traps and has a permit.

    I thought your allowed them as long as they don't have teeth just a flat blunt jaw? But still what this clowns doing isnt right. I have a few leg hold traps ( perfectly legal brought on trademe) but stopped using them a year or so ago as i never caught a possum that hadnt had his leg severely gored or broken from the traps
    If god didn't want us to eat animals he wouldn't have made them out of food.

    Good work on the deer,Quite windy up there today. You weren't driving a white double cab ute were ya?
    I don't know who's traps they are but I doubt they'd give a toss about people moaning on the internet about it.
    If it were me and wanted to teach them a lesson I would have pulled them and thrown them down the bank.

    There are ways and means of setting your traps to alleviate this damage...you need to learn these things.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Looks like padded size 1.5 and un padded 1 are still ok.

    Yeah I couldn't walk up the river directly due to wind so had to go bush... Ended up running into the stag there...

    Nope no ute.

    Thats fine, I feel better for wining on the internet

    Yeah its shocking really. I mean people cry foul about 1080 causing suffering to animals, which it does, but dying of starvation or infection in a trap over a period of days is far far more cruel than a lethal dose of poison....
