Stoat Trapping Project
Sponsoring: The cost to sponsor a stoat
trap is $225. As a bonus you will receive 50% off an all-day adventure
trip!
Q: What are
stoats?
The
stoat is a member of the mustelid family, along with weasels
and ferrets. It was introduced to New Zealand late last century
to control rabbits and hares.
Stoats and weasels are similar in colour and general
appearance, but stoats are larger, have longer tails and a straight
line where the brown fur on their backs meets the white belly
fur. Ferrets are much larger and more stocky than stoats, generally
lighter coloured, and have a dark `mask' on their face.
|
Q: Why
are stoats a problem?
| The
introduction of stoats is commonly regarded as one of the
worst mistakes ever made by European colonists in New Zealand.
Stoats are now by far the most common of the mustelids and
are widespread in forest and on farmland. |

Happy New Years to you all.
As you can see by the graph below the stoats and rats are making their way into the traps and are getting snapped up. Jolly good job!!!.
The traps along the South Coast track are also doing their bit, to rid the area of the nasties.
It is a bit sad that somebody has confused our work with the trapping project and the good work we are all doing, with the proposed 1080 poisoning of the Waitutu area.
Some anti 1080 campaigners have taken to spray painting the traps and destroying three of the interpretation panels The one at the Wairaurahiri Doc hut has been painted with anti 1080 slogans and a large chunk has been broken off, The panel at the Percy Burn Viaduct has been wedged off the wall and has disappeared completely leaving only the corners on the wall. Lastly the panel at the start of the South Coast track has had an anti 1080 cartoon glued over the middle of the interpretation panel so it is now unreadable with the remainder of the glue still attached to the sign. There is also at least 6 traps missing. I am going in on Monday with two volunteers to try and locate these traps.
Now if these numb nuts would just sit back and think about what they are doing they may just figure it out that these traps are doing an awesome job.
They help rid the area of these nasty pests. Or do they just want to encourage this property damage to the extent that we can no longer afford to keep fixing their vandalism and give up on the trapping
.. and when 1080 comes along as an option to control the predators on the Eastern side of the Wairaurahiri River they all jump up on their high horses and say what about trapping to rid the forests of the predators Well HELLO!!!!!. There is a very good trapping programme in place which is looking to increase the traps already in place. The Hump Ridge Track is getting organized to trap their track and if I can get a couple of other trap lines along the face of the Hump Ridge we may be looking at eradication of rats and stoats in the controlled area. Wouldnt that be awesome!!!!
So if any of you know who may be responsible for the destruction the traps and signs please have a word to them or encourage them to ring me
It is really getting tiresome.
For the record we at Wairaurahiri Jet, Johan and Joyce are sitting firmly on the fence on the, 1080 in the Waitutu, issue. We try to be as well informed as we can, also with our guests we have a wide variety of opinions and much discussion on the subject. One thing for sure, the more we learn the less we know!
Now Ive had my whine onto the good stuff. Trap kills for the last 3 months.
Thanks again for your continued support because with out you all it just wouldnt be possible.
If you think your two year sponsorship has expired and you wish to re sponsor your traps please email me

Hello all.
Hope you are all fit and well.
Did you manage to catch the TV 1 programme, South with Marcus Lush as the presenter?
Johans almost famous now with people on the street saying youre the guy on TV the other night.
We have been very busy checking traps on the river and the new South Coast traps. The traps have been snapping away on the evil pests. (yippee)
There has been an amazing turn a round in the stoat, rat ratio.
This month alone we have caught 24 rats and only 2 stoats.
At the beginning when we first started this trapping project the ratios were the other way around.
It seems to be a favorable year for rats. Worst luck.
My biggest worry is that the stoats will breed up, rack of rat is one of their favorite foods and like most creatures when the belly is full and content, you start to look about for a mate to while away a few minutes with.
I really hope we dont get an increase in the already too many stoats in our forest to kill off more of our native birds.
Thanks to all of you sponsors for your incredible support Im sure we are making a difference. Thanks to those of you that have renewed your sponsorship. Its awesome to have your support.
We hope to have annual bird counts in the areas of the Eastern bank of the Wairaurahiri River and the South Coast Track. This should give as some facts and figures to go by, other than our return guests commenting on the increase of the bird life. Even though the comments are great to hear.
Now here is the real good stuff the Kills for the last 4 months.
There are two lists of traps now with the addition of the South Coast Traps (49 traps from the Wairaurahiri River to just past the Percy Burn Viaduct)

Wairaurahiri Stoat trapping news letter
Hello to you all.
We have all suffered an early start to winter this year with so much water falling from the sky to fill our nearly empty river.
Whilst we had a low river during April we took the opportunity to upgrade the boat with new computers. Its made an amazing difference to the noise and economy of the boat. Hard for my brain to comprehend that two little boxes can cause the changes.
Johan is rapt with its performance he says its like having a new boat.
I have heard through the grape vine that the planned pest control that was to be taking place in the Waitutu Forrest has been postponed till next year. Now I really hope the small group of Kaka can hold out through another breeding season.
I hope the trapping that we are all doing along the Wairaurahiri River will help by creating a barrier to the pest and the recent trapping the Department has carried out will be enough to help this group of Kaka to survive
South Coast Track trapping project.
We are planning to start this next stage of the trapping on the 12th June.
Thanks to Janet Gregory from Land Care Trust, Janet has been able to secure some funding through the Biodiversity funds to get the first 35 traps out from the Wairaurahiri River to Percy Burn viaduct. We also have had heaps of support from trap sponsors and volunteers for this next stage of our trapping project a big thanks you to you all. It wont be long now till your traps will start catching evil predators.
Sponsorship renewals
Some of you have already re sponsored your stoat traps for another two years we thank you and the birds thank you. If your traps are coming up I may be getting in touch with you to see if you wish to re sponsor your traps for a further two years. If I miss you please drop me a email if youre wanting to re sponsor.
Catch numbers for March, April and May

Well done everyone. Thanks again for your continued support. You may have noticed that there are more rats being caught maybe that means that if the stoat population goes down that will leave room for the rats to build up so that may explain the flip flop on the tallies. See graph below
Keep and eye on the Southland times for the new South Coast trapping.
Thanks again every one

Look out Stoats
|
Sunday, 8 July 2007
|
Hello to you all.
Johan and I with the help of some volunteers (The kids and their friends) have added to the amount of traps that we have on the Eastern banks of the Wairaurahiri River.
We have had some of our stoat trapping sponsors electing for us to place the traps on the river banks and come on their trip at a later date.
We now have 64 traps out on the river. YIPPEE
The weather was kind to us with the snow right down to the river banks. And beautiful blue skies over head very awesome!! How lucky can we get? To be in this most wonderful place!!!!
The stoats are still being caught with each trip down the river, allowing our guests to see conservation in progress and ridding us of some nasty pests.
I hope we see an improvement in the bird numbers this summer.
If you want to come along and see the trapping and enjoy the ultimate jet boat ride at the same time send us an email or give us ring.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello,
Look out stoats! Your days are numbered.
We have had a huge couple of months with regards to the catching of the Stoats along the Wairaurahiri River banks
Our sponsored traps have caught well over the sixty stoats, which we are over the moon about.
I will give full details of which traps are catching what in my next news letter.
If you want to go on our email list for stoat trapping reports or you wish to sponsor a trap please send me an email with your contact details.

What you can do
|
Monday, 28 August 2006

We need sponsors to purchase a trap or traps.
The traps are the DOC 150’s (kill traps) in specially designed boxes made by Alister Jukes of Te Anau. To these traps our good friend David Mollison has designed a flag system that will pop up upon the trap catching an evil stoat.
Wairaurahiri Jet will maintain the traps as part of our normal day trip.
The verbal story has always been part of our trip, now it will also be hands on. Where we will be re baiting and re setting the traps.
You can sponsor a trap by the following options
### Purchase a trap for $225 and come along with us to place itfor free. (Normal day trip price pp $199.)
### Purchase 10 traps for $2000 plus g.s.t and get 10 seats for ten people to place the traps (Normal day trip price for 10 people is $1999.)
Trap sponsors will receive in return an exciting day down the Wild Wairaurahiri River, Lunch at the Waitutu Lodge, a chance to make a difference and you will get regular reports on how the Stoat trapping is going.
Also you will have the naming rights of the trap and where we can we will endeavour to get sponsors as much coverage in published articles. The sponsorship is for a two year term.

Wairaurahiri Jets Stoat trapping project
|
Monday, 28 August 2006
|
Our company operates in the heart of Southern Fiordland. Over time we have noticed that birds we once took for granted that they would always be there are now not so plentiful or are gone completely. Unfortunately the sad truth is the on going decrimation of our once "millions and millions" of native birds.
Today Opossums, Rats and the worst predator the evil Stoat are continuing to diminish the population.
Gone from the area in our life time are the Kiwi, Weka, Saddleback, Kokako, Brown Teal and Blue Duck.
Under dire threat are the remnant populations of Kaka, Falcon, Parakeet, Robin, Little Shag,, Morepork and if there are any left the Mohua or Yellowhead.
Our intention is to place traps along the east bank of the Wairaurahiri river from lake Hauroko to the sea.(125 traps)
