Thread: Angry Possums.... in a cage

All I have ever done is pull the possum by the tail with right hand and hold cage with left hand, I've never known a possum to grip that well that it couldn't be ripped from the cage. Once out of the cage hang possum so front paws touch the ground as there is less chance of it climbing back up your arm, use the usual club to the head, if working in residential area where one can be observed then just place instep of boot over ribcage, put pressure on it until it breathes no more. If possums are caught and then get wet with rain, whether in cage or trap I take them home alive to dry them out before killing, always good fun getting them into a sack especially when there are already some in it...horse never seemed that keen carting live possums in a sack on their back.
