'Chasing ZERO' Predator Hunting Hui
Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre invites you to come and learn tips, trapping tricks and predator insights from their resident trapping expert - John Bissell.
This is an opportunity for trappers or those interested in trapping - beginners or experts - to spend a day with John and learn what actually works. Much of his advice you won’t find in a manual. It’s built up over his 30+ years of experience “out there doing it”.
It is also a chance for trappers to get answers to those burning questions that will improve trapping skills, knowledge, and results across an array of target species such as mice, rats, stoats and ferrets.
John's delivery style is an active one and he promises that it won’t be boring!

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
