I just pet them on the head and leave them laughing.

Having eaten possum once, I won't be trying again anytime soon (or even not so soon).

I eaten worse. One way that improved them was to put them in a barrel with a few potatoes. They would eat the potatoes but loose a lot of body fat and rancid flavor. It took some of the greasiness away. Still not my favorite, but if I was hungry enough I would eat one or change political affiliation to get something better to eat. Might be a closer call than I want to admit.

I think an "outdoors man" needs to try just about anything once. Seconds are optional. In fact some of my best days are still shooting the simple things and cooking them like my Grandmothers or Mother did decades ago. Stan had a few Wood ducks and I had a flash back to a simple roasted Wood duck with salt, pepper on the skin and a couple thin carrots, celery and Granny Smith apple slice cooked inside sealed with a couple straps of bacon, served on a pile of wild rice. I think she cooked the carrot first a little before she stuffed the bird. For sure that was far better eating than that Possum.

I feel very fortunate to live on the West coast in an area that is a major wintering area for waterfowl due to our mild winter climate.During a recent cold snap they were concentrated wonderfully on a local marsh and provided an excellent morning with my trusty Lab Rigby.A limit of mallards (8), and an unlucky Canada were the result.Wish I could say that the birds were taken with an example of British exotica but due to the salt marsh conditions the job fell to one of my trusty SKB's.chambered and choked for 3"steel.Two more weeks before the duck season ends.

Not a "Double Gun", but an "Oldie." My Dad gave me this (then new) Mossberg 16 gauge bolt action in 1953. I make it a point to hunt with it at least once a year. Took two illinois pheasants with it last week.

Terry,

Do use the cart as part of your blind?

Hi Tamid,I just use it for transporting all the usual gear.Blind material,stakes,decoys,Robo,gun,shells,birds etc etc.It's a mag deer hauler from Cabelas that I made a plywood box for that slips on.Great tool.Had it over 10 years and it is starting to rust out on me but I have another one new in the box to take over.Wish I'd had one 30 years earlier.... Not sure if I'm going but maybe we'll cross paths on Good Friday?

I love the taste of duck, and fix it different ways, but one of my faves is to take a whole dressed woodie or teal and coat the outside thoroughly with olive oil. Then, put as much salt and pepper on the duck as the olive oil will hold. Place it on the grill upright on one of these holders, and slow cook until medium rare.

I ain't ever been hungry enough to eat a possum. When I was a kid my Grandad had a large herd of herefords. When one would die he would just drag it off to the woods, to a spot we called the boneyard. Buzzards would make short work of it. I was squirrel hunting one day and walked by where one had been left weeks earlier. The hardened skin still covered it and I kicked the carcass in the ribs. Three fat possums waddled out of the enlarged "anal orifice". My mind was settled about eating possum that day.
