jeez it would be an experience to be in a sled behind them when they all let rip............. fair burn off your eye brows

mutton is fatty and will put it on your dogs almost as well as possum but they fart almost as well too.
trumps dog roll worked well for us for years till we got a bad batch and went off it.

My friends in question used to live not far up the road from you on Messie station.

Yes, beware ye the possum fart. Melts plastic, unblocks drains and removes stains, makes grown men cry

I've three fussy eaters, allergies, no weight gain, hair loss.

Got no possums round here, dogs would have found them if we did, and no farmers wont me shooting thier property even for bunnies and possums

Where's your sense of adventure. There's always roadkill?

There are none!! I dont get it, there are a few bunmies on the road and I may have one farm to shoot but need to pick up a box of beers before I ask and the suppressor for the 17hmr

so I take it you don't live at shown address then???????

there should still be possums around,when your out spotlighting bunnies next look around any rock piles/bluffy bits etc that's where we used to find them in Tarras and still do in the Hunter hills.

I get mine each week from new world 2$ per tray grab a 10 trays and give him a couple morning and night will chuck weight if its a tucker problem.

go to a local butcher better deals on brisket bones than the supermarkets ie banana box for ten buks or goodsize bags for 6$.,
the guys tellin you to feed possum lots are setting you up believe me if you feed possun to reguly farts will be the lest of your problems and i,ve never found it to be a good fattener anyway.
theres a reason they feed it and horse to greyhounds good for thier coats tho.
leftovers covered in gravy do pups well fat and seepings off the roasts poured over leftovers will be almost as good.

Dogs need 30% fat in with meat . Another good food is if you know a farm home kill guy ask him to keep the trype best dog food out there .As said above brisket is very good .

A rarity around central otago these days. Be bloody lucky to get one a week. In fact more like one a month.

Don't need the hmr, just a shovel to peel them off the road
