A little fun


Recommended Posts


Possums range from a few pounds to maybe 10-12# for a good size one. You never know what your gonna get with a possum, some of them "faint" right away and are no fun for the dogs, others put up a nice fight, but nothing like a groundhog or raccoon might do. They do have some nasty teeth, and can be formidable. this one gave us a good time.

 

Possums are nice to start young dogs on since they don't do the ripping damage the others might do. Some dogs have lost their noses or taken bad bites thru the nasal passages by groundhogs because of their chisel teeth.

 

Here are a couple of links to hogs and possums:

Possoms are usualy around, 4-10lbs i would say...7-8lbs being an average...they have the MOST teeth of any animal in america!...FIFTY!...FR had one that went 19lbs and it looked like a badger with a rats tail!

In my very limited exsperiance with them, i would say 8 out of 10 are easy...BUT every now and then you get a horrible little b*****d!..lol.

Most seem to get hit buy the dog and then they "Go Possom"...most dogs go down and hit them, they fight for a little then go soft...sometimes a dog leaves them, because they let off a stink like there dead.

Some people dont like them, but imo, its better than digging NOTHING!..lol..

Anythings better than a skunk!.. :blink:

Kye,.
