Also I think pretty much everyone knows that every house out here is accompanied by at least one large gun and one person not afraid to use it.....

I ordered my possum trap from Amazon today. Sav-a-heart type. Meanwhile next month I can buy a pellet gun like Kuntrygirl spoke about. But if the trap comes and I catch one, the 22 pistol will have to do. When Amznda and I went into the yard last night, early evening about 6:00, a possum was there. Fortunately I had locked the coops at about 5:00, but if I go somewhere in the afternoon and don't get back until 7:00 or 8:00, I am putting the girls at risk.
I know someone mentioned the best bait on here but I don't remember what it was. What is the best possum bait??

Apples, canned pet food, ,or fish is the reputed best opossum bait some say...

Tuna works pretty well. You want something that puts of good scent.

I use to bait all my traps with sardines in oil any fish type substance that carries a lot of smell.

May be too late now to reply, BUT, I would leave them under her. In a few days, flashlight them, or candle them as some say. But holding them in a dark room and putting a high power flashlight under them shows me the same as a candle would! Anyway, why not?! Let her try! Just beautiful watching a lil Mama raise her chicks, and if they are fertile and growing you will know by lighting them every few days. If not, mark them with a pencil, place them in a different place in the fridge from the regular ones, and crack separately when needing to cook, to ensure all are usable. But I would always give lil Mom a chance!

Good to hear that, after I move I hope to get a big dog, one I do not have to take care of. I would like an American bull dog, the Nanny Dog and cattle dog. I am in the city, but roosters in the country side have been stolen (and chickens). Coyotes, skunks, all cats (mountain lion, bobcats, house cats) and owls normally have problems using wire cutters, and snapping pad locks. I usually live in the country side.

Not much of a city person, despite growing up in the city. My dad said I was a throwback, instinctively country. I know how to do things I have never beed thought. No one in my family had guns, but me.

I ended up in the city because my mother did not want me to go back to Florida or someplace in between. So she bought a house for me as a surprise, putting down the exact amount I had in the bank. In less then 24 hrs. I was really broke, and owned a home. And I had just gotten a job as well that day. I had to make a decide if I was going to refuse the house, I accepted it, and was great full I had found a job, to make the payments.

Mom was afraid of me living in the country. She dose not realize I am safer there. We took care of each other. When I stayed home from work (I worked 6.5 days a week as a mate on a fishing boat), all my neighbors stopped to see if I was alright. My car hadn't moved. I was gone by 5:00 and got home by 8:00PM.
