Is Aniseed Possum Lure Any Good?
Possum Hunters or Lifestyle owners are always looking for new Lures to attract Possums to their trap sets.
Here’s an idea that I got from Peter Scoles from the Facebook Group Possum Hunting NZ group.
In New Zealand we use a mixture of flour and Icing Sugar to attract Possums to our Possum Traps.
The Leghold trap is at the base of the tree and when the Possum stands on its hind legs its captured.
The longer the possum is feeding from the tree the more chance is it stands on your trap
CONCLUSION
- This Clearly works as an attractant
- The longer you can keep a Possum at your trap site- The more chance you will capture the possum.
If you want to learn how to make this Lure, then please comment below and I can look at making another video.
Gary is a keen trapper, who has been reducing pests on his lifestyle block in Waitakere for decades. He loves keeping bees and tries to play guitar.
That’s great to know, thanks
Thanks Emily for the feedback and you are welcome, yep works for me at the moment…Gary
Hi, i’m trying to find recipes for an oil based lure, haven’t been able to find anything, how did you make your aniseed spray?
Thanks
Hi Jenn,
From memory I added half a bottle of Aniseed oil to a two litre bottle of sunflower oil.
Shook it up and added it to a spray bottle, it worked pretty well.
Thanks…Gary
