A lot of people still trap possums here in New Zealand,i do a bit of trapping when i get time.

There is quite good money for possum here these days $75 a kilo/$75 for 2lb it takes about 20 possums to get a kilo,just puck the fur off like one would puck a duck.

It's a different species of opossum in NZ than in the U.S., much cuter and the pelts are pretty nice Big Grin

The Australian brush-tailed opossum.



They were introduced into NZ and are a very serious ecological problem, so have at them.

Well I hope to go to New Zealand hunting one of these days, but...........trapping? I live in Canada and I have been trapping for many years....BC, Alberta and Manitoba. Beaver, mink, fisher, martin, muskrat, lynx, coyote, fox......you name it I have trapped for it here.

Great forum.

I'm a past district director of the Minn. trappers association and a trappers ed instructor. I put on trapping demos for the school districts(mountian man through modern) and at some local festivals. I did beaver control trapping for the local wardens in Minn and Wisc. Ended up moving to Wash. after the great construction slump in the mid 80's. Been too busy chasing a buck to trap since 86. will retire in two years and will hopefully hit it again.

This should be a great forum.

Haven't been on Accurate for awhile...thanks Saeed, glad to see new trapping section. I sure will look in from time to time.... i love to trap. Last year:

17 muskrats
too many coons
2 red foxes
1 gray fox
1 mink
3 beavers
1 coyote
1 snappin turtle

I like to bragg, too, lol. Not much to bragg about though considering the time spent (wasted i guess) but it's fun.

aim small, hit small

Hi I too have trapped as a kid and later during the fur boom during the 80s then on and off alittle since then. Cought em all coyote,fox, bobcat, coon ,beaver,.Loved every minute of it. When I retire I will be back at it. Its an art once hooked on you never forget.The only reason I don't do it these days is time. My other vices are big game hunting,with rifle and bow ,shooting,reloading,bow making,arrow making,and fishing,Work sure gets in the way of my fun.

Thanks Saeed!
I started trapping before I started hunting. An old neighbor said that a hunter needed an animal to walk in front of him, a fisherman needed an animal to eat food in front of him, but a trapper needed an animal to put his foot exactly where the trapper wanted him to put it. I decided that was for me. It led me to hunting and all the other obsessions that members of these forums enjoy.


Work hard and be nice, you never have enough time or friends.

I'm looking forward to trapping season just as much as I'm looking forward to hunting season!
