Thanks From New Zealand

[Coote 5]

It has been a while since I visited this forum.

 

I just wanted to thank everyone for the good information and entertainment I've had from this site. And I particularly want to thank Pegandgun, Glen Waters and David Holdaway (TrapWorks) for the information they've shared privately about trapping.

 

I've recently had some success snaring rats in my garden. They've been avoiding conventional snap traps, and the primitive deadfall traps that have worked for me in the past. Brass wire isn't readily available here, so I've used some 0.38mm 'tiger tail' nylon-covered stainless steel cable for the job. (We use tiger tail wire in our jewellery business to make necklace cables for the glass pendants my wife creates).

 

Some of the rats were big. A couple measured just over 17 inches long from nose to tail.

 

David... I hope you read this. I tried emailing you to thank you again for your help, but the email address I have doesn't appear to be working. If anybody can tell me David's email address, I'd appreciate it.

 

Here's a link to some game camera footage I have of my rats:

This site is a great resource and an interesting place to visit.

 

Thanks and best wishes from New Zealand, Stephen Coote
