    Dont think I have even tried skinning a possum since the 80's

    I was never fast at skinning anyway but I can pluck them reasonably fast.
    I was averaging 10 to a kilo early in the winter last year. Big blacks and reds down Haast ways. I have one spot I hit once a year where I can with my sons help make over 500 bucks in a nights shooting even with fuel and stuff taken into account.
    Always try to do a few runs on the possums and put the money towards other hunting related stuff.

    Have to travel now to get to them as locally it is a very rare event to see a possum due to all the dairy farming. All the handy country is poisoned heavily.
