Im sure your heart was pumpin seeing that door shut. Keep at it, cant wait to see some success pics. I have been on trapperman drooling at all the cat pics. One guy caught a full grown cougar and had to release it. :yike: :yike: :yike: Luckily it pulled out after it saw him approaching and he didnt have to do the catch pole rodeo.thats cool..the guy that made my traps caought a small cougar in his...Im hoping now that the big freeze is over they will smell the lure better

Honestly I used to LOVE catching possums. I like their winter time fur. We used to get $4-$10 a hide for them in the 70s. I was never disappointed when I heard the chain rattling in the dark, it was always better then not catching anything at all. :)Ive never seen one that far in the woods,he was damn near white.But will he be good bait

Don't think it'll be much good for bait. The ones I've dumped always were left untouched or pretty much untouched. Same for any member of the weasel family. I'll have some beaver traps out the week after Christams and will see what I can do for bait for you.thanks

Only thing I have ever seen eat an opossum is another opossum.

I was control trapping by auburn a few years back and got a frantic call from a home owner that i was working with. She said I had a bobcat in my box trap. I rushed up there and found a possum in the set. Poor lady couldn't tell the difference.
Catch you later and have fun

One in the rig now, would have been two, but someone decided they wanted the 2nd and the trap :bash: :bash: :bash: Still working on that issue :bash: :bash: I'll see what I have in the morning. Still working on details with the boss of getting them down your way. I may have a better solution though. I'll make a call to a trapper in Rainier and see what he does with his beaver carcasses. He usually catches over a hundred every season. You would have to go to his house, but still closer than meeting me halfway. I'll let you know. That was your cell you sent me correct?

I'm been wondering if bears would eat possums.
Perhaps when the maggots go to town on it, it will attract birds.
