Ugh! Reminds me of a couple or years ago, my wife had just bought a brand new ($70) ice cooler to bring cold stuff home from the store without items melting in the summer... think yummy ice cream. Well said ice chest was sitting on the back porch and a opossum was making friendly with it about 10pm one night. I heard the commotion and grabbed my 22 pistol revolver (9 shot). Threw on the back lights and took careful (yeah right) aim and promptly shot said opossum. I chased it around the backyard a time or two and eventually plugged it enough to kill it. Bunch of little opossums came out of the pouch btw. Should kept one to raise, knew a guy that did that once, said it made a good pet and would ride around on his shoulder everywhere. I disposed of said opossum in the woods behind the house and everything was Jim Dandy...except for the next morning! My dear red headed wife came in boiling mad about 6 am and disturbed my delicious dream with this blonde...and was yelling something about the new ice chest. I finally figured out that I had shot 2 holes through said ice chest and she was rip roaring mad about it. I did fix it with some epoxy so it still works to date. But my hunt and kill tactics have been called into question by said red head. I am no longer viewed as the great white hunter I once "thought" I was. :oops: Notice I kept using "said" as in witness testimony. I do not admit to above alleged events and wish to plead NOT-Guilty your honor sir. :wink:
The last opossum I killed has scooted up a tree right by my almost new F150. I took careful (yeah right) aim with the trusty 1966 special anniversary (150th) Remington 12Ga and boom. Opossum fell right out the tree and right on my white pickup splattering blood everywhere. Yep, I had to wash my truck right then and there as blood does harm paint. Fun in the dark.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
