Just dispatched a large and nasty possum. I saw the motion light come on under the carport and figured it was the raccoon twins trying to get into the feed box again. I went out with the shotgun and discovered the aforementioned possum instead. It snarled at me like something out of Resident Evil and didn't even try to run (the raccoon twins are always gone before I can line up on them). Then the question becomes "what does one do with said dead possum?" I'm not digging a hole for it in the middle of the night, so I'll figure out what to do with it in the morning, if nothing drags it off before then.
