Don't have opossum here, so my first choice is rabrit, then beaver . I also caught a couple on shad ..And lure to of coarse . 8 out of 10 last season with rabbitand a good LDC lure . I couldn't have asked for anything more ,except better prices on the furs ...LOL.....
NO. Thow out coons, fox, possum, and coyote carcuses. all of them suck for bait. keep the bobcat, beaver, and muskrat carcusees. those are good for bait
