They have glands,like coons,that have to be removed before cooking..... No I have never eaten them,but I did grow up on the bayou,so there were plenty of them to go round....lol...

I have never tried grinners but once now Nutes are rather tasty kina like Musquash

I say live and let live.
If he becomes a threat then trap and release...
Like some people, they can't help it if they are not attractive.

update#####

I woke this morning went to the coop and had two girls dead. Seems Mr. Opposum had a Mrs. SOMEHOW she got in my pop door. she was still inside the coopwhen I got there. She got into the door, but couldnt get out. It was crouched into a corner and mad a all heck .

Live and let live is fine, until my hens are dead.

Yep. Thats what I tried to tell my neighbor when he found a "cute" possum sleeping in his chicken coop in the nesting boxes. All the eggs had been eaten that the possum found. Im not sure what he did with it, but hopefully, its playing possum permanently. I have trapped and shot four so far this year in a matter of a month. Im planning on getting a 410 single shot as thats what my Dad uses and it seems to do the trick. Hopefully, you wont have any more problems, but if there is one possum, theres more.
