Turn the tables and feed the possum to your chickens!
I'd husk it and boil it first. Your chickens will convert it to yummy eggs!

I did that with a sick hamster once and put it back in the cage. Sadly Oreo died in the middle of the night of an unknown disease and the kids were sad. Yes, I was a horrible parent.Put the trap in a large lawn and leaf bag.
Hook the bag to the exhaust pipe on a vehicle.
Fill bag with stinky exhaust and the animal will go to sleep forever.
And maybe some beaver for dessert.Get ahold of @swampratt , he'll have Elle mae fix him some opossum pie .
You could probably get away with an airgun...a head shot with either a 10.5gr 177 or any 22cal pellet will work if you have enough power. Of course a trap and a drive to the country would be more humane, but I've dispatched rats, such in town. I would say you need at least 600FPS for 22cal and 800 for 177 if you are shopping around...22 probably better.I live in Norman. I have chickens and noticed a possum in my backyard tonight, snooping around my chicken pen.
Does anyone know what legal options I have? Shooting it isn’t an option in town. I have a live trap, but what to do with it then? I don’t want this thing eventually digging it’s way into my chicken pen.
CB’s. No louder than a pellet gun.I live in Norman. I have chickens and noticed a possum in my backyard tonight, snooping around my chicken pen.

I thought about that but still a lot more dangerous and not to mention if he got caught. Airguns legal in Norman as far as I know as long as the projectile stays in your yard. But yeah, CB would be better if you could get away with it...I think they do 550-600FPS but hit a lot harder due to heavier slug.CB’s. No louder than a pellet gun.
Yeah it depends on where in Norman and how close the liberal neighbors are LOL.I cant imagine a world that a single 22 short will be heard much less sending out Norman's finest. You can always trap it and take it wherever the sooner nation allows you to shoot and dispatch it there. I'd take it to Blanchard for a second chance at life; I hear they are well liked around there
