What are you shooting in the deep south ticks? Too cold for possums? Another Northerner here

30 minutes from Invercargill going west na heaps of possum down here and the are really fluffy in winter making it easy to get plenty of furr I actually shot 3 in my backyard with my old crossman mag extra only 10 mtrs away it did kill them with a head shot but I didn't really like that gun at all so I got rid of it my vaporizer seems a lot more powerful than the mag extra and is far more accurate even after only 50 odd rounds the mag extra took 500 rounds before getting anywhere near accurate

Tend to be darker down south which gets a better price too. Further north you go the lighter and less dense the fur.
Think it was around 95 bucks for machine plucked and 90 bucks for hand plucked per kg end of year before last

Hand plucked down here was close to 140 a kg a couple of years ago but I was using a.223 back then I had to head shot with that if I wanted to pluck them because a body shot made too much mess of the fur 😂

Unfortunately when I left my ex I had to hand in my firearms license because she told the cops she was scared of me although there was absolutely no basis to warrant her saying that she did it just to hurt me she even kept my pig dog saying that it was hers I couldn't do a thing at all the cops take the female side straight away in those types of things

They use any excuse to take a fal.
Those fur were prices up north so im not suprised you were getting more down there.
The difference in colour and fur quality is pretty significant
