I have just finished repairing a couple of traps as the local possum seem to be multiplying out of all proportion and I am running out of gear. Looking through my diary I am at last years total already with four months still left in 2014.
Last night I shot 52 off a 1500 hectare property, this morning when I went back I found possum in 9 of the 10 traps I set as I drove about last night. We will see what is in them tomorrow when the farmer checks them for me.
Very productive night, I feel a bit bad because I just haven't been able to get to him, I referred him to an acquaintance a couple of years ago but he only went a couple of times and lost interest . He's been saying he has a plague but most blokes say that and you end up finding their definition of a plague is three or four possum in the fruit trees around the farmhouse.
Anyone that lives in Tasmania would have noticed the weather has been a bit off lately, I was also bogged for an hour due to my own carelessness and didn't get home until after 2.00am, I've also got a shhitty great tear in the sidewall of a steer tire so that pisses me off as well.
Gotta love having hobbies, anyone else get up to something unusual last night?
