        Yea that's about right!!  Bout like my flakey neighbors. They feed the wild turkeys and asked me how to keep the gobblers from fighting as there's plenty of food for all. Told'em to shoot all but one! Ain't bothered me since.

this is what makes me nervous about hunting almost anywhere, you never know how many city slickers are in the woods with a gun pointing it at you.

This is very much for real, the folks in question are from the BRONX.

I got a real kick out of the pic with the possum hissing, along with the "not very friendly" comment and the frowning face!  I can just picture these idiots trying to pet the "cat" and actually letting it loose in their house.
 
Classic!

They dont move that fast you can run right up and grab a possum - just be careful which end you get.  No%20No"not very friendly!!!"
 
Thanks I needed that.

Yea you can snatch'em up by the tail, I will admit I have done it, but have a tote sack with you to put them in. A small tire checker works great too!!!

Did I actually write that!!!   ROFL

When I first bought the 64 that is my avitar I named it The Possum Popper. The TR-1 light with the SWFA supplied Burris 2-7 on top make it is perfect for the job of sitting on the deck poppin possums.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Yes those teeth are sharp and they have more of them than any other North American mammal.
 And another interesting factoid- opossums don't contract rabies; thier body temperature is too low to incubate the rabies virus.

oh....I didn't know that about rabies...that's good to know.
 
I always liked the old opossums! I don't care if they poke around at night and clean up all bird food/ cat food, scraps, etc. They're funny little critters with good manners and they wash up afterwards like a cat!!  They sure love those fruit pies and stuff!!  Smile
