    Most of the possums we have been shooting lately have been in native trees. Natives tend to do a lot of growing in autumn so i figure they are eating the new growth.

    In a month or two they will be in the pines feeding on the pollin buds

    With regard to plucking....a good tip i picked up on this forum was to get a bucket (preferably a square one) chop the bottom off and tape on an onion sack.

    Place downwind of dead possum and pluck into it. It works well and is heaps better than a plastic bag
