    I've used a .223 on the tree bears many times, all long range (up to 170m) on the ground shots, during the times you catch them on the ground just on dusk or after dark.
    Would have been out of range for the .22 or shottie.

    Very dead possum, not as much fur recoverable as with a .22.
    Welcome to Sako club.
