I agree with me old mate Mickey Duck -they are damn good dog tucker and I know the man knows what he is talking about because he states remove claws before feeding to dog - that's a must feeding coons to dogs and your dog will get a shine from the possum oil - - yes the old possum trappers lived on them but if I took a number of you and fed you the diet some of those old trappers lived on you would not recover and would need medical treatment for some serious guts problems - and your fundamental ring gear would get e thrashing - give possum a go but having worked in the bush for over 50 years if they were any good we would have been in like robbers dogs but nah nah nah -they are just really good dog tucker - now wild shot other than deer and the very best wild pig - now thats the best wild meat NZ has - closely followed by wild sheep - but then try hare - totally under rated and really nice done properly -- but possum = labrador fodder
