A record number of possums were culled by a team of Dargaville cullers during The Great Northland Possum Cull Competition. However, overall cull numbers were down at the annual pest destruction event.

 

Organiser and founder of the cull John Hackett says a record number of possums were culled by one of the local teams this year.

"The Hairless Possum team eradicated 547 possums the highest team total since we started the competition back in 2000," says John.

Winning team member Craig Robertson president of the Kauri Coast Recreational Hunting and Fishing Club told the Dargaville and Districts News before finding out that his team had won says he’d felt that overall it had been a successfulweekend.

The heaviest possum weighed in at 4.115kg caught by the Hairless Possum team.
