Last night i went to check the chickens in Turkey Town, and there was a huge furry possum near the door to the old Turkey Coop! Went and got hubby, he brought the rifle and shot the thing in the head, 3 or 4 times! We figured it would die any minute, so went in the house. I went out later to dispose of the body, and it wasn't there! I couldn't believe it! So i started looking for it. Never did find it. But i did find another possum in the tree not far from the Turkey Coop! Not the same one, as this was smaller and had a stub of a tail. Went back for hubby again. That one stayed dead. The only conclusion i can come to on the first possum, is that brains are not essential for possum survival. He definitely hit that possum, there was blood everywhere.
