load it in the back of your vehicle, travel about 5 miles away and release it.

That's illegal in most states, and just dumps the problem off on someone else​

I just had to trap a couple of them the other day. I used dog food for the trap. These things are alot like cats. BTW when you think they're dead.....lol....nope. Before we trapped them i had one that lets just say i did everything i could to make sure it was dead and the sucker got up and ran away when my back was turned for 2 seconds.. lol..... Creepy little things.

Thank you all so much for your advice and knowledge. I seldom post here, I do come to read tho, everyone here is so kind and helpful. I will set traps out-dont want to lose any more hens. I get too attached to them to have some rotten critter have them for dinner.
I thought possums were scavengers not killers, glad I asked you all for opinions. thankyou again!!
