Really enjoy your posts Cruz  and they are motivational . Keep them up please.

I am not sure if you can see my photobucket pictures these days - I used the fix outlined by Alan - so I can see all my historic posts and pictures
I have had a good year on mustilids around my rural lifestyle block - 1 ferret in a doc250, 3 ferrets in cages, 1 stoat in a Snap-E trap, 1 weasel in a Snap-E trap - I cant remember how many cats in cages but must be close to 10 - God knows how many rats
The point I would like to make here - is try to find the sweet spot around the farm - along shelter belts and in warm dry spots - my best spot is under a short shelter belt in a windy saddle  four rows of trees to try to stop the wind - the pheasants and quail love it - as do the cats and now this ferret - I saw a cat slope off a couple of months back and it took me about a month to get her and another week to get him - they often live in pairs and sometimes with kittens
This ferret was a nasty buggar that would fly at me from one end of the cage to the other - he could snarl and bark - had to be pacified with the Cooey 
After many years of trying to create a haven for birdlife - we succeeded - but we failed through not living there - this year we found too many plastic wads and lost too many of our pet roosters - so we have sold the property and I will revert to trapping Public land - the Te Puna Quarry Park and I will also join the Friends of the Blade group on Doc land
Sad to think of what will happen to our birdlife, but I will try to get the new owner involved - five weeks to take-over - so I might be able to squeeze in a few more pictures of cats and mustilids

Great time of the year to be thinking about trapping some bird predators before your game birds are nesting - some pics below to give you some ideas -
If you are wondering about traps or trapping - take a look at these - all you would ever want to know - also masses of great information within this thread

If you are getting ready for the duck season and perhaps setting up the shooting stand - have a think about how you might nail some rats, hedgehogs, weasels, stoats, ferrets, cats or possums. It is amazing how easy it is to trip one up - even with light weight trap gear.
Hard to believe but a weasel, stoat or hedgehog in a rat trap is feasible. I have only ever got a ferret in a Doc250 or a cage - but maybe a Doc200 would kill one - they are really good for rats and hogs.
Take a look at some pictures in this thread - must be some good ideas there. Don’t forget to save any mustilid tails for the H&F Swamp Comp - great prizes every year.
I am not sure where all of the trappers have got to but I know Salmoner is still out there doing it.

I reckon the weasels get into rat traps because a mouse has had a leak in the trap box and the weasel has gone in for a look and then got the bad news. Bliimin good traps those Victors.

Top Job..
