Last night when I went to take the dog out there was this gigantic possum just sitting there in my yard. It scared the heck out of me.
Once I scared it off, and calm down , I started thinking about how my friends were telling me I was building the tortoise pin more securely then it had to be. Now I'm glad I did. One pen and a new chicken coop are under construction. They are going to be very secure I can tell you that
How well do possum dig? My soil is all rock so it's difficult to dig in.
I might call animal control tomorrow and see if they could set the traps. I can't shoot it, I don't have a gun, and I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with an elephant.
My dog is too old and immobile to chase it away, but she might have given it a good shot if I let her. In her younger days she sure would have.
