Pull up in the driveway after work and this is what I find
Probably seems like a dumb question: What do they do? As in negative, since you trap them.. Don't think we have that animal up here.
Can you use it for anything? Fur? Meat?(Probably not...)

Never heard of possum pie, huh?
...................They can carry rabies and for that reason alone should be avoided. They don't do much harm unless your upset by something other than your dog eating from the dog's dish. The fur's no good and you'd have to be pretty desperate to eat one.
It is a nontarget catch. I do not trap for Opossum. As far as 'can you use it for anything?' Fur? Yes. Although it is not quit yet in prime. Meat? Yes. Here's a few recipes you can search for... Possum Stew Coon Hound Possum Gravy West Virginia-Mex Possum Stew Possum cheese dip Apple Salsa with Possum Legs Possum and Taters Cajun Possum Chili Stuffed Possum Deviled Possum Eggs Choctaw Possum Possum Sweet Potatoes Wild Possum Kabob Possum Pot Pie Possum Creole Possum Roll Texan Possum Chili Possum Tartare

..................I'd probably upchuck on the cook if I had to eat possum. For the truly adventurous, here's a recipe that I just found with a google search:
Possum Tartare
At least you find one alive. I usually find em dead in my backyard. The day *after* garbage pickup.
My dog likes to run up against the fence and throw his weight into it. That usually knocks the possum off the fence and into his jaws.

Somebody should tell the furriers the fur is no good... Although the fur is not considered a luxurious fur here are just a few products...
How about that veal some of ya'll like.... Or that chicken.... What have they eaten?
BTW what is really in a hotdog? BTW2 I'm not really trying to pick a fight...
LOL I wouldn't upchuck. I just wouldn't eat it... Most recipes [if not all] I wouldn't eat. You would have to leave out at least 1 ingredient before I would concider it. [possum]

It that anything like Moose Turd pie?
.............tastes the same I'd guess.
:-)
Then what's in a turkey dog?

Lips & eyebrows. Unless you're in a muslim country where they make chicken dogs, in which case I have no idea since chickens don't seem to have lips & eyebrows like cows or pigs do.
Make a redneck or hillbilly stew.

................You guys want OT?..........heh heh.......here's a copy & paste from the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council's website:
What exactly is in a hot dog?
The ingredients in hot dogs have been the subject of much humor, rumor and speculation. But the answer is less exciting than the question.
All hot dogs are cured and cooked sausages that consist of mainly pork, beef, chicken and turkey or a combination of meat and poultry. Meats used in hot dogs come from the muscle of the animal and looks much like what you buy in the grocer's case. Other ingredients include water, curing agents and spices, such as garlic, salt, sugar, ground mustard, nutmeg, coriander and white pepper.
If variety meats such as liver and hearts are used in processed meats, the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires the manufacturer to declare those ingredients on the package with the statement "with variety meats" or "with meat by-products." The manufacturer must then specify which variety meat is included. In the U.S., companies are required to list ingredients in order, from the main ingredient, to the least ingredient
thats a wierd looking possum :-) Here in New Zealand they are a pest. I see at least 10 squished on the road every day. They eat our native trees. The fur on our ones is extremely soft! It feels great. We killl them and export both the meat and fur. The fur on ours in softer than any rabbit I've ever felt. I've never tried the meat... I'm not going to either - it just seems wrong!
That sounds like a dish from the Beverly Hillbillies. Seems like they had some kind of dish with the word Gizzard in it, if I remember right. I guess Mr. Drysdale did not eat to much of those. :o) Bill Berckman

Few weeks ago, fired up the BBQ grill cooked some excellent steaks. Left the tarp off, and forgot to put it back overnight. Next morning I'm about to open the grill to clean it out... I open it.... inside was this nasty looking opossum lying inside. Scared the CRAP out of me. Was tempted to shut the lid and fire up 40,000 BTU on that "mother", but my plan was ruined by my daughter that stepped outside and caught me almost in the act yelling: "Nooo... Daddy don't kill it...." So I left it go... Man, they are NASTY looking creatures!!!

The first one the dog caught died awful easily. Put the thing in a bag and tossed it in the back fo truck to dispose of in the dumpster at work the next morning. MISTAKE! Damn thing "woke" up about 15 minutes later and threw a fit in the bag trying to get out. Dog went nuts, kids freaked....and I had to figure out how to get it out of the bag without getting hurt......wasn't fun but finally pulled it off.....ugly little bast**d when pissed off.......let it go cuz the daughter was demanding it......it came back the next night......the dog made sure it did the job right this time:)
