    Possum Trapping/Shooting

    On Saturday night I shot a possum and Sunday I got 2 possums out of 10 traps and 5 were set off. I learnt 4 things.
    1. The first smack on the head knocks it unconsious
    2. The second one kills it
    3. The third one smashes its eyeball out
    4. An the second one says "COME HERE GUY" to the flys!
    As the first possum woke up half plucked but I managed to get em.

    Do you think farmers would pay for possum control, $2.50 per possum?

    Unlikely, seeing as you already make more than $2.50 per possum for the fur

    Well done and a great edited vid to give the greenys nothing for their anti hunting campain, just don't let them know you had to eat what you trapped on @bombers farm.
