Wongo 4 : possums 0

Rob, when I inadvertently stand on a tiger at my place it is I who She-ites, not it
Feel free to come and collect them so you can compare the samples (snakes not mine).

Iain,

You could be sitting on a fortune mate - just find their droppings. They say you can encourage snakes to defacate by massaging their bellies.

Of course the body fluids at their other end may discourage the possums too. :eek:

All this is just a theory at this stage - so it will be interesting when Scott tries is out to see if his results are similar to mine.

1 possum, cut-up
1/2 cup oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, sliced
4 carrots, cut in thick slices
1 small can whole kernel corn
1 can whole tomatoes
1 bell pepper sliced 2 zucchini cut in large pieces
1/2 head cabbage cut in large pieces
8 ounces tomato juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
10 drops Tabasco
salt and pepper to taste
5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced

Brown possum in oil in a Dutch oven or heavy skillet. Add all ingredients except potatoes, cabbage, pepper, and zucchini. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer another 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Roasted Sassafras Possum

1 skinned and dressed possum cut-up
3 cups sliced carrots
6 cups onions, quartered
6 cups potatoes, quartered
1 clove garlic minced
1 can cream of mushroom or celery soup
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cups water
salt and pepper



Brown possum in a little grease in a ovenproof iron pot then remove pieces. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Arrange possum artfully on top. Bake covered at 350 degrees F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

BTW when you depleate your possum supply just substitute for any other meat thats handy ie: cat

Nah, cats are only good for crab pot bait..

I don't believe you, come out here in summer and show me

I like you mate.

[Wood Borer]

No problems, you hold the tiger snake and I will massage it's belly

Give me a call when you have caught it and I will be there in about an hour or so unless I am busy.

[Gumby]

Wongo, I tried that leaving them in the forest stuff on my wife - but it doesn't work. She came home again. :mad: Believe me, if she can find her way back, any possum can. I mean, have you ever heard a female giving directions

Had a mate who bought a house near a national park about 4 years age & of course his SHMBO wanted the fire place opened so she could have open fires, so he removed the cover off the top of the chimney, couple of nights later much noise etc possum had come down said chimney into lounge room , was finally chased outside but to this day some of the little soot markes still remain, BTW chimney is again sealed

On the other hand my SHMBO bought me a pet possum who lives on the front verandah and is no problem at all

Am trying to get in touch with Hezbollah after possums destroyed my two banana stems that were loaded with $16 a kilo bananas

[silentC]

It's a bit like those new mouse traps that catch them alive. It says on the box "release the mouse blah blah blah". As if I would go to the trouble of catching a mouse just to let it go. It goes on to say "if you must dispose of the mouse, kill it humanely blah blah blah". Now that's more like it.

[Wood Borer]

Wongo,

Do you want the repellent and a snake skin sent (scent) to your home address?

[Iain]

Is that the plastic one that claims to kill humanely, gently strangles them for about 20 minutes, at least the other ones are quick, and painful if one goes off while setting it.
