That sounds like the voice of experience.

I reckon the best way around that is to use the missus pet as the possum dog instead

its not him holding it but it holding him

my elvis got one on his face at 9 months never touched one again till he was 18 months.
but by jesus he,d developed a hate and method by then the bastard.
he.d grab them behind the shoulder then shake the crap out of them and beat them against the ground, trees, anything
.they didnt need plucking by the time he finished.
it must have festerd in his mind cos to my knowledge he didnt get any practise in between possums.

Geez Dundee...you just got a cross between an insinkerator and an industrial vacuum cleaner...just watch your pack weight go up on those multi day trips eh worse than feeding a teenager....!!
But well done they are just so loyal can be taught anything usually quickly...Cheers mate

Grabbed a frozen duck out of the freezer for some lessons with the old .22 to add gun fire to the retrieve.

So you shot it. Then the lab retrieves? Is this part of your gun acclimatization bit?

given elvis was a Gsp xrotty and built like the proverbial shithouse that jacko was goneburger before he was even dead! bit like a human vs a bullelephant whose got PMTand a basd attitude!
youre dead right though .40yr ago had a mate here on the coast whose foxys specialty was in the burrow scraps&kills .that bugga was an absolute master till one day he came up again an old pissed off buck jacko who vent his spleen&fury on foxys face costing the dog an eye.Humans are not immune either -had a nasty old female in a trap ripmy finger open with a back claw strike once -hurt like f...........

It was shot during the duck season with a shotty.Biff the duck fire a shot then send the command to retrieve.

Went to grab the frozen duck out of the dog tucker freezer and it was gone! My old man is in his 80's and decided to band saw all the pests in the freezer.Asked him last night where is the duck? He biffed it cause it wasn't dog tucker.Bo not impressed either.

better get out there quick and get another few as not much season left.

Maybe shoot a puk

We had a golden lad when I was a kid, called “Chief”. He hated them too. He would just grab them by the guts and start chewing till he came out the other side the old possum would be going to town on his face till he got to something vital. Bit bloody gruesome but effective! If we treeied one we would full it full of lead from the bsa air gun till it feel out from the weight of it, then introduce them to Cheif In saying all that I’ve seen him run past possums to get to ducks. He seemed to know when too and when not to. Lucky I guess.

duck season is finished here.

Night time training on the dummy with a bit of gun fire added.
