I've got an opossum who's hanging out in my ducts and walls. I was thinking of getting a trap and catching him (or her, I don't want little possums to raise!) and letting him out in a field far away from me.
Anyone have any experience with possums in the house?
I was visiting out-of-town and the guy said a raccoon had gotten into his hen house and killed four chickens and two ducks. “Yeah - I put out a trap and caught him and hauled him away a few miles.”
“Wait- you let him live!?”
“Well, I didn’t know how ‘citified’ you are so I left the details of me blasting a hole in his head out.”
He had a pet raccoon once that as it got older got mean and couldn’t be trusted. He let him go many miles away and it made it’s way back! He took it on a trip with him over a hundred miles the next time.
Me too.
