I'm sure Jerry L. can provide some recipes - 'possum are considered
delicacies out his way.

Envy the Racoons - we have Brushtail Possums - they are heavier, live
IN the roof and while they don't carry rabies (unknown here thank
gawd but the big fruit bats carry a related lyssavirus) they aren't
bright enough to get tame. Very noisy though and the babe rides
cutely on the back when it leaves the pouch. Sitting watching TV the
other afternoon (World Cup Rugby) and got wet when one peed in the
ceiling and it ran down through the lining boards. Now the wife
insists I move them out. How? Reason with them?
How serious is the rabies problem?
