Salted meat
This method is used with great success in the South Island in areas that are only visited twice a year. The meat keeps well and seems not to become flyblown as happens with some products. Rock salt can be bought from Farm Suppliers. Venison meat or rabbits works well.
Layer salt in bottom of container.
Cover with one layer of meat, small peices, cover with a good layer of salt, add another layer of meat, then salt until the container is full. Cover and leave for some weeks. Place in trap boxes or suspend from the lid on fine wire.
Let me know if it works or you.

Keep at it Jean. What PWMT needs is a bigger audience for your blog. Like the salted meat idea. It might save some labour - and money for the Trust.
ReplyDeleteMaybe ask Connovation or the other lure suppliers if they have tried it? Have we a good meat supply in the area?
Barry I am sure I can get rabbit meat from a friend at Omori but deer meat would be even better.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if we could use this blog to contact others, do you have any trouble getting in to the site? Jean
Roadkill rabbit much more available than venison in both Omori and Pukawa
