OK, this is just too good to pass up. We went possum hunting tonight in our backyard 😆
Tim and I were watching a movie, and all of a sudden, we heard this huge crash sound, near the fireplace. I thought at first maybe it was a huge rat (had that problem before), and Tim was like, we’ll turn on the fireplace and burn it out! So, we turned up the fireplace on high, and after a minute, I go to the back door and see something skulking across the deck. When I first saw movement, I assumed it was a neighbor’s cat, but then I saw the nose on the thing and knew it wasn’t a cat. Tim got a flashlight and shined on it and said “that’s a possum!”. It crawled over to our tree and climbed up, then “played possum” on a branch. I grabbed my very new camera (that I have not read the book on yet) and tried to take pictures of it. Meanwhile, Tim went and got his pellet gun and took a shot or two at the poor creature. Yes, folks, on Christmas night, that’s what we do around here! 
The picture is blurry, but you get the general idea… I have a lot to learn about my new camera, but this story was too good not to make the ole blog!
Here ya go:
So that’s what people in Miss. do on Christmas night !!
Go possum hunting !!
Hey, couldn’t you “shoot that thang” and even eat it? Jerry Clower might have done that. You know he made many a comedy routine out of possum hunting!!
I hope Tim’s shots scared the little bugger away.
You know, once there, he will come back !
yuck, they are so ugly and nasty.
