Holly showed us all the tools needed to catch and kill the possums. We got shown the hammer, the traps, the staple and some aniseed with flour (the bait they use).
Her dad, mum and her all have their own jobs in helping with the whole process. Dad has the spotlight and drives the truck, Holly shoots the possums and Mum, plucks the dead possums fur.
A 1kg bag of Possum fur sells for between $110-$120. Holly said they share this money between the three of them, so she gets some pocket money too!
Holly brought in some fur for the class to feel. There was fur from a black and a grey possum. The fur was very soft and warm.
Thank you Holly for sharing your "How to..." and thank you Janelle for bringing over all the equipment...minus the gun! :) It was a very interesting Morning Programme.
