Yup, agreed! But it was one of those magic nights without wind, moonlight so bright that I didn't need to use my head lamp and each time I came over a ridge there would be more pest animals. The possum are nesting on the cliffs. I shot 22 rabbits and 16 possum. Man I love killing possums, pity I'm not geared up to pluck them!?

if you get them quickly after shooting you pluck them just like a duck...by hand,small tufts at a time, carry a couple of bread bags with you,will fit 4-5-6 in a bag. if three possums up same tree..only shoot ONE... stay under tree and pluck it,then shoot next one and pluck,then third...that way they dont get chance to cool off..the fresher and hotter they are the easier to pluck.
