    They are like the Regional Councils which are now eco-nazis pulling out native plantings along the rivers.If there ever was a creature that is FITH it is a DOC worker.

    always worth hitting up farmers as well if you don't have any luck on doc land.

    Bowl into your local DOC office ,tell them you want a permit to trap possums & tell them which block you want.
    Chances are you'll get treated like royalty .
    Gun control means using both hands

    It will come with a few questions though

    What type of traps are you using, do you know how to set a raised trap... you will find they have restrictions on traps I believe it size 1 victors and they may even have got to the point where they require the jaws to have rubber or plastic covers incase of bird capture.

    I talked to DOC today. The main guy was away for a couple of days but they basically said tell us the area you want to trap, use #1 type traps (no mention of rubber), and set all traps at least 700mm above ground. The thing that I was amazed at though was that permit areas can overlap so multiple permits may be issued for the same area. The woman I spoke to suggested I go up there and have a look round to see if there are any other trappers around. I was planning on checking out the area I'm looking at in person but it is a few good days tramp in and even if I don't find anyone up there who is to say that is just because I didn't cross paths with them or they are waiting until colder weather. It all seemed a bit mickey mouse to me.

    I'm in your area Stingray so you got any suggestions on good areas?
