Since our chickens starting disappearing I have been trapping and night hunting to find/get the culprits.
I have trapped a couple of possum fairly easy and then I keep missing this one who always manages to eat the bait without tripping the trap.
I figured that he wasn't stepping on the foot pedal hard enough to spring the trap so I wired the bait to the top of the trap switch so that when he pulled on the bail it would trip.
Still no possum. Possum photos every night and he eats all the bait every night at different times but never trips the trap.
I have lubed the trap and set it where the slightest touch will set it off but the possum still fails to trip it.
I never see him at night when I go looking for him so I can't shoot him.
What now?
