Hey, possums really do play possum

In reply to logdog:

And to think people talk badly about Florida.

Possum is right up there with coon. Nasty, greasy, gross. Just say no.

Interestingly enough, the same tactic works well with wild boar, if you are man enough to catch one alive. (I'm not.)

I have no firsthand experience, but when we were coon hunting, my father would give the coons to people that worked for. They loved coon. They would grudgingly take an opossum.

My dad swears that when he was kid, possums would hang by their tails from tree branches, and they could hit them with a baseball bat and they would spin around the branch. But he also smoked a rubber hose during that period of his life.
