Garage invader nabbed!!

[JD Mandrell]

Looks like a mean little sucker! How are you going to get him/her out of the trap?

This trap has a door release lever, where you can open it from behind the trap.

I'm going to take him out to my nieces place in the country and turn him loose today.

Have fun getting it out of the trap

He will be easy to get out after you drop the cage in a lake for a bit.

Were his front paws all bruised up from setting off all the mouse traps?

 

[SIXFOOTER]

Thats a good lookin healthy possum, he doesn't look stressed at all like most of them in town do

 

[dipbait]

A beautiful specimen.

Get a good air rifle, its fun to take down them critters.

 

[GWashington1732]

I nailed one of them with my car last night, that's a time proven way to kill them.

Here he is checking out his new digs, he's got about 18 acres of woods to roam around in.

Well done Bear Claw, no need to kill or main the animal--very good deed to give it a second chance at life.

EEKK - those things are so freakin' ugly.

We've got a bunch of those little ugly critters around here.

Have fun getting it out of the trap

This one looks like a teenager/young adult. Good thing you caugt an opossum and not a skunk!!

Getting an opossum out of the trap is fun and easy:thumbup:, can't say the same for a skunk:thumbdn:. I kinda like the smell of a skunk when you drive by a smashed one on the road, but getting covered in it is a different story!!!!:barf:

 

[stabman]

Looks like he wants to play!

 

[JD Mandrell]

I barely got that last picture, I forgot to turn my digital camera on before I opened the trap...he took off like a scalded dog!!!

they are one ugly rodent, but the biggest thing we have where i live is mice

 

[randomlooker]

I love possums. They're like a rat crossed with an alligator. Adorable in an ugly kind of way.

I used to know someone who was raising a baby possum after a dog killed the mother. Used to curl up and sleep on me while I laid on a couch.

 

[Watchful]

they are one ugly rodent...

Nope... closer to wombat.

Actually, and I think a lot of forum members would agree with me...that's actually pretty handsome for a Virginia possum. Most of 'em are a helluva lot uglier than that. Just nasty looking things.

 

[DTOM996]

Maybe not be appreciated... But I think those little guys are pretty cute. Reminds me of my one cat when he gets riled up.

 

[dipbait]

Why kill them for fun?

 

[sidecutter]

My late grandfather would trap them in his garden and keep them in a cage for a week or so, feeding them fresh water and lettuce, before eating them, but I just can't do it.

They look to much like a rat to me! :barf:

I'm with you on that, Unless it's eat or die I would set him free.
