Caught a 12 lb-er !! It's a trophy possum. Big male. His sole mate was hanging around the set until I shoed her away. I may mount it. Normally I get a few small ones in my coon sets. Never a 12 lb-er !!


Just a weekend trapper...

I’m starting to think the 18 pounder I pulled out of my pool last winter should have been tanned instead of canned-garbage canned.It was soaking wet though.

Hold it close to the camera with a stiff arm and set the lens to infinity. Just kidding- they are out there.

We call them "Cat - Pan Opossums". With so many folks feeding the farm cats from the porch smiley's nutrition needs are 'over met' !!!!!!!! They may live 1/4 of a mile away but they sure know where the cafeteria is........... Wait until someone catches a "Cat - Pan Skunk" (in a cage trap, on the porch, Sunday morning and calls YOU - the local TRAPPER to get it gone before services - been there) .................. the mike

Catching a 12 pound possum is like catching a 12 pound largemouth bass. Trophy for sure.

I have a shoulder mount possum in my hunting cabin, it is my favorite mount, as it was mounted by a friend shortly before he passed away.
