Very nice.

Christmas possum. Saw him walking thru the neighbor's yard. Walked right up to it. He had no idea until I stuck the camera in his face. I was hoping he would "play possum"...but he didn't. He hissed really loudly and drooled a lot.

Nice catch. That’s pretty cool

The next time I see one, I'm going to try and pick it up.

I'll bet those suckers bite like an angry raccoon.


One time I spotted a young muskrat crossing a busy road in GJ moving away from any ponds along the Colorado River. I figured it was doomed if I didn't catch and relocate it. I approached it in a gas station parking lot and it quickly admonished me with teeth and claws that it wasn't going anywhere without a fight. Not what I was expecting from a normally non aggressive musky.

I didn't have a noose pole with me, only some light leather work gloves and a cardboard box. I finally corralled and scooped it up and quickly closed the box. Lucky fellow got another chance at being a muskrat when I released him at Connected Lakes.

I pick them up with 12ga, 4 shot.

Exactly!

Neat, thanks Irving, I didn't know. I've only seen them a couple times in OK and TX. Still, welding are probably a good precaution.
