Possum

[TedKennedy]

You'd be amazed at how effectively a small dog can kill a possum.

I’m in east Norman. What area by the river are you referring to? I believe I read it’s illegal to release them onto private property, so just want to confirm I’m releasing them in the right spot. Would I be able to release out by lake Thunderbird? I have a live trap like in the pictures posted.

fill a large trash can with water and drop cage and all in. Quick and painless. He will be back to eat your chickens if not removed permanently one way or another.

call pd and they will dispatch animal control to you.
or let him out south jenkins near the river.
far west end of rock creek rd ends on the river too.

Not the dispatch needed.

Can you make it happen when he catches the oppossum?

Pellet gun will do the trick. Between the ear and eye.

I caught possoms in live tramp. spray painted them red. Had them come back from 2.5 miles away, I just shoot them . They are a plague on ground nesting birds.

Gamo Swarm pellet gun. Not loud enough to attract a lot of attention and effective. I’ve have gotten a few dillos rearranging flower beds and possums trying to get neighbors pet ducks. Get the one with the 10 pellet “auto” reloaded to save some time

If you’re on an acreage, just pop it with a .22. If you’re in a neighborhood, it depends on your neighbors, but a single .22 shot is probably not going to be noticed by anyone if it happens somewhere not in public view.

You could always do a variation on what my grandpa did. Take the trap and drop it in a trash can full of water (he did it with a pond and a tow sack).

ETA: I’ve dispatched many coons and possums in east Norman over the years.

Put the trap in a large lawn and leaf bag.
Hook the bag to the exhaust pipe on a vehicle.
Fill bag with stinky exhaust and the animal will go to sleep forever.
