I watched a dog bring a possum on a front porch, buddy grabbed a shovel to scoop it up and bury it. He started hollering about it still being alive, it was just the little babies crawling all over. The dog ate them like treats while we laughed and he stood horrified that his dog was a heartless baby killer
You can raise the babies. Little bottle and some baby milk, a heat lamp. Them and baby squirrels. Same same.
if we were driving and came across a possum, my grandpa would pull over so we could kick it and catch it. Possum hide would bring 8 dollars.
I'm fond of the way it looks, but that is pretty funny. Depending on my commute next time around I might have to try one out. My wife wanted an FJ until she sat in it. She pointed out that it felt like a truck. I said wait until you drive it. She was finished.
I had one that hung around a barn I hunted out of. I would eat a sandwich and throw him some food, he'd hang out with me and waddle off once I was done.
They are pretty chill animals. One I had growing up thought it was a cocker-spaniel, because the family dog was a cocker-spaniel. It would try to bark at people walking up to the house and everything.
I'm pretty sure that possum knew a gunshot meant dinner too, he would be the first to the gut pile of a field dressed deer
The ladies in the next trailer over from us back a few jobs ago unknowingly fed one cat food to the point it waddled around like a small hog. The sound of one of them screaming one morning when they saw it crawl around the side of the dumpster where they fed the cats was quite funny.
