Wanderings of a Possum trapper

[@bevanblunden7545]

I love your content man. I’ve just started possum trapping. Ran my first line of 23 because it’s all I can afford for now. Got a permit from doc to trap in some doc land.

[@BushEscape]

You're so right, we are so lucky to have this as our backyard, to wander about hunting as we go, long may it continue. Loved the footage of the hind barking, another easy watch entertaining vid. ps, loved your little trekking joke....

[@PS-Straya_M8]

LOL your joke when you were on the top of the hill and pointed out your route dropping down to the saddle and then walking up across the mountains tops! I actually believed you there for a second and said bloody hell this guy is fit!! 😁

[@Afro408]

I can now only dream of hunting in that country. Thank you for taking the time to film this and letting us tag along. Cheers! :D 100 likes!

[@trueaussieray9093]

Wow! absolutely stunning! very very lucky man indeed to have that in your backyard!

[@richardkremer8313]

Truly enjoy the scenery. An lake. At my age seen many great places. You got the lead of best. Thanks for showing it fight to keep this way. Showing it allows the stinking rich to build an destroy. Politicians can be bought as countries try an expand for resources. They know not what they do!!! PEACE BE WITH YOU AN FAMILY.

[@craigperry7376]

Magical place. Wow love this video. Thank you for sharing this special place Shay.❌❤️

Love this track bro, beautiful view over to monowai from the top if you drop through the next saddle. And how good is that massive slip when you hit the tops. Would love to come give you a hand one day if you need a packhorse.

@@mierypesado6740 I’m still not convinced. Looks suspiciously like lake Waikaremoana. I’m certain Shay will clear this up for us.

All your videos are awsome I’d love to come out and do that for a while. Do you ever try fishing any of the rivers? Keep up the good work have a good one.

[@Brittanysjoy]

Maybe I missed it. Where is this location. Stunning scenery and really enjoyed your video. Well done.

[@tongoio]

I used to hunt possums when I was at high school. Stretched and dried the skins for sale when the buyer came to town. A well set undamaged full black doe skin once got me $15. Most reds got around $5. That was about 1979. Now I live in Australia and when I talk of hunting possum for the fur trade I get hated on. Love to be doin what you are doin

[@snkrhd8958]

AWesome videos man!
