Thanks Bill, as long as it eases the infection it will help. :)

Last night we caught a 'possum in the Have-a-Hart trap.

Today it's raining; 1.5" so far.

Later, when the rain stops, we'll take the 'possum out of our residential area and release it in the woods.

Problem: How to open the trap and avoid all those sharp teeth!

8 Big Taters
2 big spoons of butter
1 big spoon of sugar
a pinch or two of salt
Thyme, marjoram or pepper to taste
1 cooking pot with a good tight lid

Put the possum in the pot with just enough water to keep it from burning, cover with a good tight lid. Possums take longer to cook than taters so wait until your possum has stewed for about an hour before you add the taters to the pot. Place the taters along the sides of the possum and mix in sugar, salt and your choice of thyme, marjoram or pepper to taste.

Every 15 minutes or so take off the lid and baste the possum with the juices. By now the possums own fat will have rendered and the water will now make some delicious possum gravy.

When the possum is tender and the meat falls off the bones mix a little flour, if needed, to the water/possum fat and tater mixture.

Do I take its hair off first? Or just skin it?

Seriously, back when I was growing up, Daddy caught a possum and Mamma cooked it for us. That thing was so greasy that none of us 9 kids would eat it! So, it got fed to the dogs.

I would skin it.
I have eaten about any animal you can hunt, at a game supper once, including a hedgehog... after the dinner, on the way home, my grandfather told me what all I ate, including skunk meat. Needless to say, that was my ONLY game dinner.
