    That's one smart possum alright, hope he doesn't tell his mates how to get around the traps.

    I have to say that possum guts were the worst smelling ones I've come across. Pigs, deer and goats all were tolerable.

    Yep I'm not buying any more cheapies I only run a line of 35 and I lose as many as I catch with the cheap ones, cut those soft jaws off straight away! Those Dukes look good value for the reliability so will replace asap with those.

    Ease up helping the government with 2050 Beeman or there will be no point handing them down to my boys 😉

    Yep @kukuwai did think about skinning it, even thought about getting it stuffed, but was out voted by @Mrs Beeman and @Mooseman, ( hard to share a skin ) It was near albino. I have caught a couple like that over the years, and I don't really think that I wont catch another before 2050 extinction.
