attack opossum

[HoughMade]

Several years ago, one of the biggest ones I've ever seen was under my neighbor's porch. Grabbed my single shot .22 and couple Stingers. Put the muzzle about an inch behind its ear and fired. Hissed at me and bawled up in a corner. Second round was right between the eyes and dropped it. Told my neighbor maybe I should have brought my AR, that was a tough old guy !

One to the vitals, and then: "a good clean finishing shot"

It wasn't "11 round to the face", but it did the job.

Get the dead animal traps they work better

I've never had good luck with those, I found that no matter what bait I use, I just can't get the dead animals to come to the traps.

Were those about wildlife pests or were they commentary on a youtube video of a bad guy getting shot?

Seems the skunks and opossum might be at war

While it's true rabies is pretty rare in some mammals like opossums and squirrels (for various reasons). Any mammal can theoretically contract rabies (3 opossum examples cited above).

Every single one I've trapped in a live trap has thrashed so bad in there, they tangled themselves in the coils and died.

How often do you check them? lol
