The Trapper of the month is on hiatus
“The trapper of the month” contest isn’t doing what’s it was designed to do. Ie “Encourage people to get out and set traps to help the native bird”.
Does anyone got any ideas how we can get more people out there setting traps? Who knows if trapper numbers increase, we may bring it back. But as it stands March 2023 will be the last month.
Best Trappers – March 2023

Great effort guys!! Going to use the tunnel trap plans to create some rat trap tunnels
Sounds Great Mike, looking forward to hearing you results. Yes the Tunnel traps work well, for mice and Rats I have been finding.
Make sure they are stable and on a flat piece of ground, you want to Rodent to be comfortable being in the tunnel.
Thanks…Gary
