At work we get through about 30-40 DOC 250 traps per day. It gets time consuming when you do it properly (don’t touch the bait with hands, clean out the soupy hedgehog, grub the grass off the...

+1 for 90L Iceytek, has never let me down. I make up a salt mix in 3L milk or juice bottles (juice bottles tend to have thicker plastic). As noted, Pre-cooling before use is beneficial .

Icytek all the way/ I have a 90l Icytek that I used for 17 years when crewing on the charter boat. Half full of flaked salt ice, a bucket of fresh seawater to create a slurry and fish came out 2 days...

Whats the per hectare cost of cutting tracks, carrying in traps and the checking/rebaiting of them? I'd say at least 10x that. I don't think its quite the career you imagine.

Yup exactly same thing for me in the king country.. Seeing a wood pigeon was a rarity but now we see mobs of up to 25. Unfortunately for me it's a necessary evil. It's not the poison it's the...

I think a lot of people are pretty selective about the facts they acknowledge. Every knows about the native birds that do get killed and oh boy do the anti-1080 crowd love to talk about that. But...

Perhaps, actually come to think of it nah I don't believe ground traps is even a viable option. Having ventured in there myself recently, its thick in places and steep. The under storey was dead (no...

They will still be fine in the 7mil but just expect 50% of the deer to run at the shot before piling up. The really great thing with AB's that they leave some big globs of blood on the ground where...
