That's probably the best idea yet I reckon.
Ive been pondering a little about it as I never needed to live trap possums ( usually just shot onsite).
A bit of a hassle to get him out and ded without getting bit yourself.
So a ball bearing from the Shanghai device to stun, then get him out and belt on head with stick for insurance.
