Illinois59 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I just saw the episode of "Gettin' Close" with Tiffany finding the possum in the cat food container. That was pretty funny stuff! She was a lot braver than my wife ever would have been! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 My wife freaked out one day when she heard a commotion on the deck. She turned on the light and saw a 'ppossum on the deck eating the cat food, she yelled "oooh, there's a mongrel on the deck!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I had a possum once start climbing up my ladder stand. There is just something about them, creepy looking oversized rats! Good for Tiffany for taking care of it, more than I would have done!

Illinois59 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 In 1987 i was sitting in a make shift ground blind and it was getting near dark and i heard something very close to me moving. I looked down and there was a possum walking between my legs. I didnt know whether to laugh or jump so i just stayed still. He just took his ( or her ) time and walked away.

Gator Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I had one last week try and get to my doe that was hanging on the game pole. We were sitting around the fire when a buddy pointed and said look, I looked and saw one on the ground, then seen my doe turning circles in the background. Dang thing was trying to climb down on its head!!!!! I wanted my .270, I was PISSED, but it was finished off with a .243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I just trapped one and let it go. It was a non target species. It looked so beat up from trying to get out of the trap I felt sorry for it. I released it and it just layed there exhausted. I rolled it with my foot into the stream and it did keep its head up, but no kind of escape was taking place. I removed the trap at that location and left the opossum. As I was getting into my truck I heard the crows cawing over the creek bottom I set the trap at. That opossum better had gotten going or else it will be crow food. They are mangy critters ain't they.
