You seem to have enough around there to make several large blankets with them.

50 to 55 years ago I was trapping as a youngster... always got $ .50 cents for em at the fur buyer. He told me they use them to make hats, trim etc. But an old lady who grew up during the depression years always gave me $ 1.00 for each clean skinned opossum I would bring her. Seems that is what they ate alot during the depression when she was young and so she ate opossum all her life.

I never seen one in my life and I hope I never do. Can't be good for anything, I can smell them from here too.

Somebody find out snowy's address so we can all chip in and send him one!

Used as a resident of dead cow and horse carcases .

My friend and former business partner, Chip and I met at a guardshack, where we had a morbidly obese boss, Moe, who would come in smelling bad and say about himself, "I smell as bad as an opossum today.". Moe did stink somewhat similar to an opossum.

Years later, I knocked out an extremely large opossum, that a dog cornered and put it in a garbage can on Chip's porch, with a note that said " A present to remember me by, love Moe." Chip opened the can, when he was taking out the kitchen trash and was startled by the opossum. He put tge lid back on tge can. The next morning, he put it out for the trash collector and watched to see what would happen. The elderly black garbage man knocked the lid off and dumped the opossum in the back of the truck and it immediately jumped off, coming towards him. The elderly black man threw the can away and ran off down the road, while the opossum waddled away.

Possum underfur is some of the softest/toughest fur you'll ever come by, the leather is thin though. Wish there were a market for the ugly things!

One time I had a flat on the side of a hill. When I would try to jack it up it wanted to roll off. There was a dead possum that had been laying beside the road in zero weather for a couple days. He worked fine for a chock in front of the front wheel. When I got the tire changed I left the possum where I found him for the next guy to use if need be, lol!

Had a coon hunt all but won once in Virgina when with 5 minutes to go my coonhound came trotting in with one in his mouth .........scratched....disqualified...

The only fur to hold it's value all these years, they are still worth $.50 today!

LOL!!
NO, Those things got to be the ugliest thing on earth,

Add good BTU's to the outdoor wood furnace.

Can you imagine him opening up that box as the possum looks up at him.....

According to the Beverly Hillbillies, possum pie is awful good.

Merkins for the elderly.

Got one in the back yard today. Taught Miss Aalaiya how to skin it. Prime possum here. Probably bring 50¢ - $1 once I put it up.
Guess I could have dinner too
