Can I record ad-hoc kills on Trap.NZ?
In the event that a pest is killed by something other than a trap (e.g. roadkill, killed by cat/dog/firearm etc.), it can be useful to record this data as part of your project.
Currently, there's no direct way of recording these in Trap.NZ, but clever folks have found a way around it.

If you want to record multiple kills on this trap, you can do this on the website by changing the "Strike" count field.
