Possums are marsupials so no, they do not carry rabies. I have also trapped my fair share of them and raccoons. Here’s a pic of a fox walking across last week. Id like to get that one.
My wife beat one to death with a shovel. It was rabid and we had to put 3 or 4 goats down because it had bit them and came after her in the barn. It was a ****ing huge mess! After that we trap them and shoot them. Our dogs also get sprayed from time to time. I hate skunks.....
My 9 yr old is with me this weekend on his first hunt too. I don’t Know how excited he is but I feel pretty good we will see something tomorrow. I have him shooting a 300 blkout. I’m just hoping he does well. If anything he has learned so far it is that everything tastes better at deer camp.
I killed 3 today. The first was a doe I didn’t take a pic of but here are the two I got this evening. I could have swore the buck was bigger, but they are in rut in taliferro county.
