I googled possum paws and it did not match

yeah apparently the tag didnt work. He probably came back so he could smell nice and fresh again

I had a possum bite a broom and refuse to let go. I lifted him by lifting the end of the broom and he still held on. He hung there as I carried him down the street and left him and the broom in a field. (Or maybe it was the yard of a neighbor that I did nto like, I am not sure).


I never saw the broom again, I think he ate it.


By the way, there are websites with good recipies for possum. I am told that it tastes like chicken.

Good luck and God's speed skel1977. We're behind you all the way.

Could be a troll. Or a demon. I would bring a priest with me just in case. Or at least someone slower and weaker than you.

Hey how about a squirrel.. HUM

Get a large have-a-heart trap and smear peanut butter on the tray and set it with only one side open. I bet you catch one. Then do this about a dozen times. If you see a hole where the squirrel goes in DO NOT BLOCK IT, it most likely has babies and it will eat another hole in.

Oh each time you catch one bring it at least 2 miles away or else it will come back.

When you put the trap in the car put it into a tall bucket first so you do not mess up the car..

lol its funny to me people keep suggesting other animals like squirrel. I said i saw the paw. It was not a squirrel paw. It was cat sized, im pretty sure if i saw a squirrels arm i would know it wasnt a giant squirrel. It didnt just stick a little paw out and pull it back in. It stuck its paw or hand plus its entire arm through the bottom and pretty much waved to me. It wasnt a small cat either. From the size of its eyeball im pretty sure it was a fat cat. Im not smearing anything in peanutbutter. The last thing i want is the entire forest under my house.

Things are serious when it starts waving at you. Next thing you know, it'll be wanting to be invited in for dinner, or ask if you have spare a can of tuna. "Yoo Hoo! Down here... Howdy neighbor!"

ok - I just signed up on this forum ... this is one of the first posts I have read ! You guys are cracking me up !! Somewhere in the back of my head the music from Jaws has started up . Can we post pics here ? If so - how about a pic of this paw and raffle a can of tuna to see who guesses the animal first . Oh ya - and two other words .... animal control (if they are humane and no kill).
