What are you really going to do with him?
What were you trying to trap?
Maybe I shouldn't ask.  :smt044

John, it's really not too good. Honestly tastes like a worm crossed with a rat.

Saw this on the TV for gathering road kill;

Get a can of florescent orange spray paint.  On your way to where ever you may be going, slow down, open the truck door, and spray a hash mark every time you come across a road kill.  Then on you way home, any kills NOT marked are freshies.  Toss in the bed of the truck and your good to go!

This hillbilly I was in the military with once told me that you have to feed them cat food for a week or two to make them taste better.

I can trap one just about any week you want. Trap and .22 from the mouth all the way through the body. Drops them no problem. Then fed to the vultures.

John,

You might want to Google "Grannie's opossum recipes" and see what you come up with. I bet it will wash down good with some ice cold sassafras tea!  :smt044

Maybe we could have a fish n chill by the C-ment pond.

Here's the tune "Five Pounds of Possum in my Headlights Tonight" to listen to while you cook your possum:

Alright this is just too funny!The only knowledge I have on the subject is from my childhood. What I can tell you is that after my mother cooked one in her oven she made my father go buy her a new stove! Loaded with grease, and not in the yummy bacon way, more like in the... well, the nasty Opossum way. My fathers family hails from Kentucky and Tenn so we ate everything as kids!
