-——Nasty little creatures.——

Yes, there are....

Last month, my dog was literally going bonkers at the back fence line...possum was on the top of the fence...

I poked it with the end of a shovel several ties to get it to move on....

It wasn’t budging....hissing and baring it teeth at me...finally pushed it over into my neighbors yard...

I preferred to have shot it, but didn’t want to hassle of the wrong sherif being called and arresting me for firing a weapon in the county....

My beagle, jack Russell and Blue-tick hound "fenced" many possums and I finally got the right tool - a 6 foot wooden dowel - and I got so good I called myself Babe Ruth. One swing. Its not easy at first. But after a few months I was averaging 25 foot line drives. They just got up and walked off like nothing happened. But i dont think they came back.

The Blue-tick hound was the sweetest dog ever. A rescue pooch and I didnt know a thing about Blue-Tick Hound. A real hunting dog as I was to discover after an investiagtion of the carnage in my backyard.

Revelation came when I saw it corner a possum - scarier than a Velociraptor. The Jack Russell even got spooked - that never happens. Best dog ever.
