Will we ever run out of possums. I'll bet I've gotten 70 so far this year. Seems there is a cyle with these animals. Other yrs (same trapline) I'll get 25 or so. Anybody else noticed this.

I have been blessed only caught 1 possum in MN,in my life.Now down south was adifferant story.Did get a few then.
Mild winters in the north country have allowed possums to spread and reproduce,thats to bad--we need more duck egg feasters like we need another hole in our heads.   Tom

You guys ain't doing it right. You have to want to catch possums to avoid catching possums. I know it sounds weird, but I wanted to catch some possums this year and so far I have only cuaght 2. So teach your self to want grinners and you won't catch "many". :)

Oh, I see,so I have to convince myself that their worth $32,00 a piece and I should  catch as many as I can.

P.S.  Do I also have to convince myself that they then should be skinned and stretched?   :lol:

Yes. You have to convince yourself that they need to be skinned and stretched and then you have to skin and stretch every dag-gone one of em. :)

For a very unreasonable fee I'll teach you how to never catch possums.  My method is fool proof. :P

I think Wacky is a little giddy fm popping caps at yotes lately and thinks he can do anything like even anchoring yotes  over 400 yards.....  Wacky thinks he can take on the silver mink of the southland LOL :grin:
