opossum

[hitnspit]

Ok people how the heck do I grab this darn thing in my barn. It has been killing my meat birds fast. All this time I thought it was a weasel or rats until the day I came face to face with this thing. I went to grab something to crack this thing over the head and as soon as I turned around it was gone. So I have put out traps and got nothing. I read the top baits are fish, Apples and wet pet food. I now see it pooping everywhere but cant seem to get the son of a gun in a trap. Any help............

Shoot it

I'd say chicken or eggs, or both, since that is what the possum is after in your barn.

Give a good dog an hour and scoop it up with a shovel.

I carry a small gun with me every now and then but have not seen it for a few days.

And my little 15 lb Westie can dispatch a possum (that's what we call 'em 'round here) that is as big as she is in only a couple minutes. They are truly awesome 'varmit' dogs. Westies rule!
