Not a trophy buck but I’ll take it. I am done passing on these. I gotta tell you, this bow can shoot. I will take my compound over a crossbow any day 👌 ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/download/Number/47480/filename/E1D16456-3EBD-4006-AEC6-953C370371A0.jpeg)

Lights out. Well done. . Thank you sir. Believe it or not, I seriously considered attempting to braise him or put him in the crock pot until I got a good whiff. He definitely just crawled out of a carcass or something 🤮. Hate to get him on my arrow 🤢

Since I stopped wiping them out, my venomous snake population has dropped dramatically. Seriously. We have two of them that cruise around my place and I have not seen a Copperhead this whole year. I have trained my dog to stop chasing them, but he still lets me know when they are near the house.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

I am so tired of people coming out in defense of possums. They are not beneficial and there are about 50 times as many as there should be. I’d like to see more turkeys.

BTW, if you kill a Boone & Crockett possum, meticulously skin it, flesh it and ship it to the fur auction with a load of other fur, it will sell for .25 cents.

About the cost of the bullet. don't know what size is a Boone & Crockett possum but pic doesn't do this one justice. 110 vmax BO & Rattler, 100 yds. But NO hogs, darn.

You can leave it in the sun a couple of days and it will swell to the Boone and Crocket size.

Nothing has touched this nasty thing. Crazy. Anything else I have left out there of deer or turkey bones/carcass gets moved around if not wiped out the first night. Nothing will touch this stinky possum.

I shot at an opossum a couple of years ago and finally proved that I actually CAN hit the broad side of a (metal) barn.
