So my daughters boyfriend got home after school to find a baby possum in his kitchen. His grandma (who he lives with) wasn't about to go near it. So daughter and I went over there and got the thing out of his kitchen. lol
It's kind of small... about 6 inches from head to butt (not including the tail). Since he lives in town, no wooded area's around his house, I brought it home. There's a park and trail down the street that would be good for this little thing.

Isn't it CUTE?!!

Dunno. But it wasn't in his house where this guy was freaking out poor old lady. lol

Its a little onger than 7 inches long which means its a young adolesent so he will be fine on his own out in the woods far away from traffic. :thu
 
EWWWW!! My husbands grandma... use to eat possum when younger. :barf1

We walked and walked and walked deep into the woods and found a nice little spot to let the little fellow go. Maybe it'll stay away from peoples houses. lol

They say five plus miles from the location found MIGHT keep the away. I am dealing with some myself. Have not decided on a course of action yet.......hmmmm......didn't think of a BBQ.......
 
I hear they deep fry them in the Ozarks.

Check out the Andrew Zimmer website. He did a show about that, even sucked out the brains. He said it was pretty good.

Armadillo is supposed to be good to.

I got rid of a few possums in the course of getting rid of my family of skunks a while back. Trapped them and hauled them off to the creek.

One of them I caught was younger but we used to have a big old / mean looking one hanging around that I can't say I miss it.

It stood on it's hind legs and hissed at me one night when I was trying to scare it off, I had my .357 on me and it was tempting, very tempting....but I didn't feel like dealing with the sheriff's office over a silly possum.
 
I worked at the Emergency Room for a short stint, and one night a guy came in that had tried to evict a possum from his house, and in the course got a leeetttlllleee too close. Looked like somebody had stabbed him several hundred times with an ice pick.

Never thought they were cute after that.

Back when I lived in downtown Columbus, MS, we had a possum hanging around our apt. It climbed up the stairs(2nd story apt), and was hanging out on our front porch. I told my gf at the time(may 10,000 locusts infest her underpants) to come check out said critter. So she opened the door(mistake 1), with burrito in hand(mistake 2), and started messing with that vile creature(mistake 3). Well, it got pissed, started it's hissing an spitting, scared her to where she dropped her burrito. Possum swipes burrito. Possum 1-dumb gf-0.
After laughing at her, I launched it off the balcony with a broom.
