I had a pair of possums killing my chickens at night. I would find the
heads in the hen house. So I listened for a fuss in the hen house at
night, and went out with a flashlight and a .22, and shot them both
dead, red-eyes glaring and teeth a-baring. The hens appreciated it. A
neighbor said I should have eaten them, as possum makes good eats, but
I'm mostly a city boy.

You mean the hens; still with heads, appreciated it?

I'm a swamp boy and won't eat a possum )

Take two potatoes, wrap well with foil, stuff into the possum. Cover
and bake @ 350F. When done, remove potatoes and throw the possum in
the yard!

I ate groundhog once - tasted like chicken.

Also reminds me of a hunter's suggestion on what to do with snow geese
shot in the marsh - take out breasts - freeze - use for crab bait in
the spring.
