Go to let the dogs in and I open the door and my bulldog is dirty and real happy he caught daddy a possum. He runs in the house and the thing is just laying there so I get my .22 and poke the thing to make sure it was dead and the possum opens it's mouth! Last thing he did. They are nasty looking critters suprised it didn't bite my dog although if I where him I would play dead to.
I submit to you: Ferlin The Possuem Killer

he is a johnson american bulldog out of dick the bruiser 55 blood lines. He very smart and really a good dog heck he is the only one that listens. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I also have a bull mastiff. And a mix of bull mastiff and him I kept the only female. here is a pic of one of the male sfrom that litter this pic was takin' at 11 months he was about 150lbs when that was taken. The largest pup is about 195lbs from what the owner told me doesn't suprise me he was 100lbs at 5 1/2 months. At least the are a little bigger than the coyotes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

possums are cool if you get used to them. i've got two left. momma possum got squished in the backroad and i got 5. one got loose, joked and told my dad to check the road. next morning bam! roadkill baby possum. but they chase me around the yard if i run from them, like to crawl on me, etc. better and neater than a cat.
 
The other morning I'm getting ready for work when my son comes in the bathroom and tells me there is something outside his window stuck in the window well. So I go have a look. What do you know I'm face to face with a possum(lucky there was glass in between us). Needless to say it didn't live much longer.


I wonder what the neighbor thought as he was driving by watching me standing over the window well with a rifle.

Oh by the way, in case anyone is wondering a .17 HMR is enough gun for a possum at a range of about 2 feet!
 
When I was living back in Kansas about 3 years ago, I had a possum on the back porch. I go out to light the grill and here this thing is. I got a bucket of hot water and dumped on it, didn't move. So I got out the trusty old Ruger .22lr and took care of it.
 
Opossum are the dregs of the animal world. Also, they carry a virus equine protozoal myeloencephalitis, or EPM for horses which is terminal.
