Saw this little guy today riding around on his momma. Tried to sneak up on them both but momma bolted and dropped the poor little guy. Took a few pictures with my phone and left him alone. He tried to get a little fiesty when I tried to get closer. They were out trotting around at 11am this morning.

Cute little dude. I always agitate them until they play dead. The kids think it's hilarious.

Because I don't like them, because we have a history of not liking each other. Ever had a possum jump off of a shelf at night and try to bite your face, hissing sending you backwards through a sheet metal wall? roflmao Ever had one kill and eat all the guts out of your kittens when you were a kid? There are only two things I kill on site. Spiders, and possums. grin

I do believe the people in the apartment complex I was in would have had a hissy fit had I pulled out a gun!!!! People in the Austin area are a little weird like that.

Because they eat things like quail and turkey eggs, or the young quail and turkeys themselves. Same thing with skunks and coons.

I've taken out quite a few possum without a gun. Boot stomp would have handled that situation. But in an apartment complex it might be worth it for the garbage clean up factor to have it around.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Should have caught it and fattened it up. I am willing to bet Chickenmann could even make that taste good.

When starting my adult life, I had them get up in the underside of the trailer. They can make a mess of the insulation and stink up the place. Had a whole family, so I learned how to trap them and about 6 or 7 possums and the same number of 22 short hollow points later, problem was solved.

That would make me kill them on site myself. I am the same way with Javelina's killed my dog when I was little.
