French frogs

When I was in high school, we had a cat the would climb on the back door and hang on the window and scratch her back feet down the door to let us know she wanted back inside. I remember waking up to my mother screaming one night, looked down the hall and she had jumped back on her bed and was screaming "Poss...posss...posssum" She had opened the door for the cat but a possum was on the porch. I'll never forget that! We laughed about it for 30+ years.

Dad raised dogs & bedded them on hay that he stored in an unlit shed adjacent to the kennel. He reached into the dark barrel one day for some hay and heard a loud hissing sound. After retrieving a flashlight from the house he found a very unhappy possum that had decided the hay barrel would make a nice nest.

Well that's almost cute!

And K would really get lost on the hatch thread. I can barely keep up with that one if I stay online alllll day!

Your definition of cute is some different than mine. That thing's uglier than a mud fence!

They are awfully ugly aren't they

I like possom's they eat the rats I kill. as a rule I don't kill them or skunks . If they get in my chickens I do . the skunks eat the grubs and mice if they can catch them . most of the time they aren't a problem. possom's are so slow you can run them down on foot . we used to do it all the time . my aunt would but them in a cage feed them grain for a while and eat them . my dad was a coon hunter so we ate a lot of coon when we were kids . we ate possum too just remember it being very greasy . we had fun when we were kids . caught bullfrogs at night with a spotlight by the hundreds . ate all of them . either walked or road horses miles following a hound on the track . learned to see in the dark just let your eyes adjust for a bit. when the hound would tree the lights went on and the coon or posson was shot out of the tree . some times just for the dogs to kill . sitting here thinking about it makes me realize what a country boy I really am . all these years working in the city hasn't changed that .

Whistlepigs are right tasty when young; too greasy when full grown for me

you ain't right but your alright . we just shoot those and give them to people who do. I just have a hard time killing something that's done me no wrong . I'm the same way with people
