Had an unexpected intruder tonight

[bigchuck83]

i've grabbed possums by the tail to get them out of the shop or out of a live trap. the ones in a trap can usually be kinda angry. kill em i say!

The reason I asked is most haven't picked one up by the tail or seen someone pick one up by the tail. Doing so you get to see what it actually means for them to play opossum. They curl up a little and play dead.

All I've ever seen was the hissing and claws. I also hear they're not so good eating. Lol

I've watched a possum go "dead" in a hurry when surrounded by my five dogs. It doesn't move a muscle even when I go up and nudge it with the toe of my boot, so I'm half convinced it's dead. Then I call the dogs away and move off some distance, and wait. Sure enough, after a minute or two the critter will get up and walk away.

The first time you see an opossum crawl out the ass end of a dead cow you will never look at them the same.

Saw one inside a dead mule one time! does that count CHenry?

Do you still envision that disgust when you think about opossum? If so then yes.

be glad it wasnt a raccoon. I had to get rid of two of those things a couple years ago. And that was before I owned weapons, so it was harder.
