Started out by shooting an armadillo then a couple hours later saw a opossum but was to slow to get it. Then 30 or so minutes later another opossum showed up and ate lead from a 20 gauge. Then about an hour or so later here is another opossum and it too ate lead from the 20 gauge. Did a look around with the flashlight a short time later and saw another opossum eating the armadillo but missed a shot at it. Bad thing is, is that I see signs of another armadillo rotting around in the garden and lost a pepper plant due to them up rotting it. Guess tonight will be another long night of see what I can get rid of. Was up till 1:30 last night chasing pest LOL [Reply]   [No Email]

They must be hybrids in your area. I can spot em come in load up and go back out and they're still toddling away. [Reply]  [No Email]

The first one saw me and took off before I could get to the bed room for the shot gun. The other one I missed I could see 2 eyes and that was it till I got up closer and then it jumped into the weeds and was long gone. Plus this was at night as in in the dark around 10pm to 1am [Reply]  [No Email]

That's what these animals are going there and digging for. Neither are vegetarian. Neither dig holes for nothing. They both eat...ate...bugs. Dig down the length of a spade, see how long it takes you to get a pail of fishin bait. [Reply]  [No Email]

The opossum if not the one I have trouble with in the garden it is the armadillo that is the garden pest. Now some times the opossum will also kill a chicken so that for sure is not the action of a veggie eater a opossum is an omnivore [Reply]  [No Email]

Yummm!! Only thing that beats that is iguana, which tastes like chicken and alligator. Ralph in OK. PS: looking forward to try possum one day, beaver ans raccoon. For real. [Reply]  [No Email]

But coming back to the critters: I eat alligator every chance I get, same deal, so what. Well cooked, and assessed before the kill and after, why not. I do it rattle snake as well, still got one skinned in the freezer from Mangum's last rattle snake derby in April. Check out the link below! http://www.mangumrattlesnakederby.com/ [Reply]  [No Email]
