I've had lots of problems with possums this past year. Always went after the hens leaving me with more than needed roosters. Whereas our LG dog easily keeps the raccoons scared away, the possums aren't scared of her. Went out two different nights to check what she was barking at to find a possum on top of our rabbit cages. She couldn't reach them and they just sat there snarling like the picture. I went in the house and got the gun and both times they were still there when I came back out. Needless to say they are no longer with us.
I now keep a livetrap set all the time and have caught several. As darkmatter said, they are easily trapped.
