That is a dang good idea....Not sure what me and the big d is going to do yet, you better believe it will involve eatin

 

Got your place reserved Dear Sir....

 

oops- that was sposed to be me, but she feels the same way..

 

MMMM, bird, blues and bit**in'- sounds pretty good...

 

Sure does sound good.

 

Well, I missed a big oppurtunity tonight. While watchin the race- JJ WON!!- Mudflaps and I heard a noise on the porch. With Kimber in hand I went out and Mudflaps pointed out a nice young possum on the porch that was not afraid of us.
Doin' what I do , I traded the .45 in for a rifle. The afore mentioned possum continued eatin' the catfood and ignored me and my rifle.
At this point I'm thinkin possum gravy along with KFC for my Sunday lunch.
However this nice 10-12 pound possum is still ignorin' my maglite, rifle n me. Then a red flag in my addled brain suggests this may be a rabid possum cause he shows no fear of us at all.
I check my rifle chamber insurin' that it is ready to boogie as Mr. possum escapes under one of Mudflaps Grandaddy's homemade adirondeck chairs. Knowin' if I miss a possible rabid possum and slice a hole in that chair, I will be scratchin' my own back for years to come.
Keep in mind I am proud of my ability to shoot straight,yet it was 10:30 at night with negligable light and if I go inside for my glasses I may loose the possum.
If I shoot and miss, chances are high that a richochet may hit a jogger and ya'll know what that means...
Well the young fella makes it off the porch and into our Confederate Jasmine, a very vine like plant for those not familiar- and gets stuck...
He can poke his head out but his body is rendered hapless by the vines of the plant.
At this point I realize he ain't rabid, just stupid.
Since I consider myself a fan of animals I figure I may be doin' the world a favor by puttin' this gene pool reject outta business.
Then he broke free and ambled through the flower bed and into the night.
Possum may not be on the Thanksgiving menu this year, but we always have more than enough anyhow. Besides,since I let him go we may have more possums next year for all kinda good stuff.
Might I also mention that possum fur is in a lot of ways compatible to rabbit fur for coats and what not.
Possum, it's what might be for dinner...

 

I've never been so close to a possum before.....alive that is. The little one was interested for a few minutes then it was back to playstation...........

 

let me know what days yall want us up there, and ill go ahead and see if i can get the days off!!

 

I need to take a day or to myself.

 

Eat Mo' Possum!

 

BBQ Possum.....hmmm

 

We could do so much more than bbq possum.. We could have possum n' shrimp on a bed of panetta or even possum n' bacon stuffed manicotti with a spicy good red sauce.

 

add in a little rice......

 

Gotta surf for some possum recipes. Wonder what it would do for our cholesterol?

 

Well guess what guys....I've done a little research and possum's are VERY low in cholesterol. I've found out that New Zealand has a huge population problem and they are encouraging the good folks to 'eat more possum'.
