I started my day with the THRILL OF THE KILL. A possum dared to not only trespass, but poop in my shop. After a one hour hunt I flused him out of a coat and kicked him into the driveway. He dared to hiss and spit at me. I let loose with three rounds from my 12 guage shotgun. It reduced him to a puddle of blood and fur. This is the best morning of 2010.

die vermin die...cool way to start the day
-
I'd say he got what he deserved, plus 2 extra rounds!
-
It took three shots from a 12 gauge ??? :o
Maybe you should post a picture of what is left. :puke:
-
After three shots from the 12 guage their isn't anything left. ;)
-
3rd from what 10ft lol wow i would of likes to see that :chuckle:
-
And I suppose you were using 00 Buckshot. :dunno:
-
I sense a little rage? :dunno: :mgun: I feel the same way with those filthy oversized rats, we lived at a place and in four years our red heeler killed 121 possums in that time frame.(we had a tally chart on our refrigerator) And guess who had to burry every one of those stinky *censored*s. me....
-
I think that I was using number 8 or 6 shot. However, they were of the 3 inch variety from between 20 and 10 feet. :IBCOOL:

WTG! :tup:

Those dang things freak me out. I was more comfortable being stalked by a black bear sow then I was seeing that big rat eating pizza in the taco bell drive through. If those things make it to spokane I will move or buy more guns.
-
Yeah I have yet to see them over here. Hated them when I lived on the wetside. I would always go out of my way to hit them on the road. Anyone seen them on this side of the state?
-
Wow. That beats my personal possum best... ten pumps and a pellet to the forehead @ 5 inches.
-
You were probably able to salvage the pelt, and were braver to get that cloce ;).
-
I just love the smell of gun powder in the a:m !!!
-
That's a good way to start out the new year kill in them varmits. I live on the eastside of the mountains and never seen one here. Lots of racoons though and woodrats/packrats. The coons come on the back porch about once a week,got one of them last year :) You need to post a pic some of us like to see the Kill.

I wacked one with a big rock just out of White Salmon. I was turkey hunting so I didn't want to make too much noise. The winter fur does make a nice pelt. My daughter's first kill was a possum so I had it tanned for her birthday.
Here's a site showing current range. They're coming......... :chuckle:
