| Despicable creatures, prehistoric genetics, serve no useful purpose than serving as targets for drunk drivers and ineffective carrion scroungers. Plus they raped my bird feeders, along with the trash pandas.
Only possible positive is that they rarely if ever get rabies.
I asked my local game protector for the best solution. He said to kill them on sight, and keep killing as long as necessary.
I can't imagine being so hungry that I would stoop to eating one of the scrofulous vermin - is it a nail to board, roast, then eat board kind of thing?
Any animal with a naked tail is an abomination. |

I've seen a few in the middle of some magazines that I wouldn't rate abominable.

I do remember my great-grandfather talking about the previous generations penning captured opossums up and feeding them corn and other edibles to clean up the meat taste. (I don't know whether it worked or not, but they used the same philosophy on hogs that fed on acorns to get better-tasting pork.) |

| Folks have been eating possums since there have been folks and possums.

Not sure how. This is a gun forum. You might want to check a cooking forum. Just make sure, if you're going to "cook" them, you cook them in the head. I tried to "cook" one that was after our chickens when I was a youngster and w/o the headcook, it wasn't pretty. Beware the momma possums w/ the little ones hanging on to her coat. It's the only thing adorable about the possums. Those mommas should get a free pass. |

| At my former residence, Mom Possum used to stroll by carrying her kids on her back. She looked exhausted!
