had friends in va as a kid who ate them...i think i may have eaten it....not sure

I will wait till the SHTF for all the possum and coon eatin.

Cmon T ,u could use them for meatballs in the gravy...

I’m with upstate on this one!

I guess I usually fall into the "don't knock it until you've tried it" clique. But I always noticed that nothing would eat the possum carcasses in the multi species carcass piles that I left out in the woods. Silly predators probably didn't know how to properly parboil the suckers.

Here lately I have the urge to upchuck. Not enough taters with possum gravy. Some muskrat stew might help. I need help.

A couple of raw buzzard eggs would settle your stomach right down, but there not available right now.

My Dad was quite fond of possum and Mom was certainly not afraid to cook it and put it on the table. These were not road kill possums though and not ones shot hunting. They ware caught live, put in a cage and fed for 2 or 3 weeks before they were killed and cleaned. I have chased down a few to put in the cage and one ate what was put on the table. I would not call it a favorite but it did not make me sick either.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

My grandmother loved possum, they would catch them and put them up for two weeks and feed them buttermilk and she thought they were divine. My dad says he never really cared for it but ate it several times growing up. But I don't know if I could stomach it, once I was coon hunting and my dogs trees and it sounded like they were in a hole. When I got there they were barking at an old rotten goat, I pulled them back from it and turned around and a possum stuck it's head out of the rotten goats arse. Kinda did me in for eating them

When I was a kid and caught a possum in a rabbit gum, a feller across the street from us would want them and do exactly the same as you mentioned. Feed em' out like a steer.

Interesting that that thing eats like a champ but still doesn't seem very well furred.

A far cry from eating it's way in to a dead cow and living inside till it's all eaten up!
