I am not a big fan of those weird dudes,

but they eat just about everything I don't want in my yard so they get a pass.

Still don't like them though.

I usually just catch them on accident. Our most common possum job is removing a dead one from a crawl space, fun stuff 

I’m with A-Jay on this one. Although I’m not looking to remove anything from my yard and I don’t see them very often in my yard we had one living in our last house’s yard and as long as I didn’t screw with it it didn’t screw with me.

@TnRiver46 question for you, do possums sit quietly in the trap or are they as “aggressive” such as hissing and pretending they’re going to charge which was my experience with the aforementioned possum from prior post. I’m assuming as a last ditch effort it’s not willingly going quietly.

They always open their mouth to show teeth, sometimes growl and hiss but they are ten thousand times calmer than a coon in a cage. I am usually trying to catch skunk coon and groundhog so I typically just open the door and let the possum walk away. I’ve come across them in a crawl space before and just grabbed them , wouldn’t dream of doing that  to a raccoon

That roofline in the first pic is a real doozy! I can just imagine the glacier that would build up behind that overhang in my neck of the woods from Dec to March 😏. Wouldn’t last one winter here before the roof would be leaking terribly.

It’s a terrible idea for many reasons! One of which a raccoon can stand there and rip the soffit apart as opposed to hanging upside and doing it (which they can do but why make it easier) 

 

the same thing happens when people tuck an awning under a soffit, the coon can just relax while tearing up jack and letting themselves into a warm insulated attic haha

Got sprayed by a skunk, happens every single holiday or wedding , guaranteed. Murphy’s law doesn’t just apply to fishing

It was wonderful 

Just drop that HaH trap in a bucket of water. 
 

Just kidding, PETA!

Come on @J Francho, I’m a professional. I don’t use havahart traps! I’m actually allowed to relocate squirrels 

I’m on fire, two squirrels and a coon already
