Smith&Wesson 3 Possums 0 *GRAPHIC PIX*

[jjdward]

I just went down the the coop and saw tracks but no possum. I done a few things to the coop today to help keep the darn things out but thanks to a SNOW STORM IN GEORGIA (go figure) but I still have some work to do. I'm gonna get some traps next payday!!!!

And one more thing, thanks for all the support!!!!!! Its nice to have folks on my side for a change!!!!!

You go get em!!!! Get dressed warm. Have some hot chocolate and take 30 minute shifts out there and plug those nasty things. Forget the traps. It's huntin' time.

Yes, I ate some of the possums I caught raiding my Coop. Its a dark rich tasting meat, quite good really. And the fur is really soft and warm for making mittens/hand warmers for the deer stand.

Are you serious? lol
It would take a lot for me to eat possum!!

Yes, I'm serious, I've tried a variety of wild game(?). Squirrels, Woodchuck, Beaver, Raccoon, Possum. None of it tastes like chicken. Waste not, want not-----my father during the depression said that on the Kansas farm he grew up on that if it walked, crawled or flew, if you could shoot it, you ate it. A friend of mine said he ate dog once and I hear a certain ethic group loves cats for dinner. I have recycled some of my varmint shooting as Orchard fertilizer.

Did you know a Hedgehog's closest relative is the Possum? They do look a bit alike in the face.

My daddy has had horse before. But as for me, times have never been that bad. Pretty bad but not that bad!!!!

Kudos! I'm loading the 410 for our nightly visitor!

I think using a .357 Magnum on possum is a good example of "too much gun". But better too much than too little.
