Yeah, so I have nothing to add on the hunting front. That's not going to stop me from posting inane stuff tho'. My dog was barking very angrily last evening at about 6pm. I hadn't closed up my chicken coop yet so I quickly headed outside to see what was up. As I headed across the yard I could hear the hens squawking for all they were worth. I saw a dead chicken in the run but whatever it was was in the coop. I flung open the door ready for the worst (coon or fox) and it's a damned lousy 'possum. Armed only with a maglite, I grabbed his tail as he ran by and clobbered him with the flashlight. Then I carried him out and clobbered him some more. If you've never tried to bludgeon a 'possum to death.. it's not easy. He was a big 'possum. (water bottle for size comparison) This is my second maglite victim, first one was a big boar coon. Maglites are awesome. (this was 3 D cell model)
LMAO!! I've got one of them big mag lights too, mine holds 5 D batteries. We take a big mag light with while tracking deer/bear at night. We've always said If we find one not dead we'll clobber them over the head with these big things. :D Opossums are disgusting, we've got them SOB's here too. It seems more and more are making there way north here. Keep them down your way.
Christine, sometimes I wonder about you. I wonder if I would stand a chance in a fight against you and the answer is hell no. You are one tough chick. You have my utmost respect for you and your stories. I mean who the hell grabs a live animal by the tail and beats them? I'd had to give him a field gold kick first with my boots.
hahahaha, that's a great story. i'm gonna have to show the wife this, she won't even grab a bug, although she's shot 2 deer with a rifle. congrats on the late season kill
Christine, you are my hero. Mad respect going hand to hand with the opossum. I likes me some wings, but I ain't coming to your crib to get em and I would bet the word is out in the opossum community as well.
Possum boppin is great sport, nothing like beaten the batter out of one of them egg snitching chicken killen bastards. Your local turkey flock will love you for it. Great Job
haha thats awesome! We used to catch those ugly things and let them go at the local college and watch the city slickers freak out
It don't get much better than that! I've clubbed one before, but grabbing it by the tail, then clubbing it....you are my hero
You're right about them being so tough. When my wife and I were dating we had an encounter with one. Shed walked me to the door and when we stepped out on the front porch, there he was between the house and a rocking chair. I grabbed a golf club and commenced to beating the hell out of it. Took me quite a few swings but I eventually got him. Tough SOB's. UUUUUGLY TOO!!!!!
