Possums are STUPID!
« on: January 12, 2004, 01:42:26 PM »
I was checking traps today and had two bucket sets under a bridge. I make my bucket sets with a foothold bedded in front of the bucket, cause I have no 220's. Anyway, I looked under the bridge and saw a possum sleeping cloes to my set. I went under the bridge and there the trap was, set off and drug out of the bed, but not on the possum. He had been caught but hnot a good hold and he had got out of the trap. He must have been too stupid to realize that he was free. When I got there he was sleeping so I poked him with a stick and he woke up. He tried to make a run for it but I ended his struggle.

Good luck,
Zach Ellis :wink:

DON'T LISTEN TO WQ!

I have slept on the floor, in the doghouse, in the fur shed, in the woods, passed out a time or two on the beach, in the alley, and in my truck, BUT I HAVE NEVER SLEPT UNDER A BRIDGE. :twisted:

Well, I am pretty sure it was a possum, but I don't really know what Joe looks like. It could have been him. Anything is possible in this trapping game. :)

Now my feelings are really hurt :(   I don't know why you guys keep picking on me?  I would never do that to you. :twisted:  

I might be silver-tipped, but I don't attend socials!
