Sunday night I was driving home from Peterborough and as I pulled into my driveway I spotted something I've never seen in the woods around here, a possum. Anyone else been seeing these guys around this area (southern ontario)?
Here are some shots of one we saw in Feb 2007 when we were chasing Jack Rabbits ..
A possum that woke up early and was eating apples ... I got a couple of good close ups and one picture of Vern Adams getting some of his own shots ....
See Ya. ... R.J. > " Remember , Trophies are measured by the time and energy expended to get them , not the size or quantity of the quarry "
If anyone has horses possums are a bad thing, they carry a protozoa that gets into the horses spinal column .Its very expensive to treat and causes paralasis.Its called E.P.M.
Lol so thats what they look like, I dunno that one looked a little cheezed to me lol great pics thanks for posting them I also have never seen them around this part of Ontario (Napanee/Kingston area).

I had not seen one until about until about 18 years ago. I even called the MNR about seeing a couple at night . They told me they figured we recieved them in a load of freight coming in by truck . Before thta i had only seen them when travelling in the USA.
lots of possum in kansas ,,,they will bite,also they will play possum, they will play like they are dead but when you are not lookin they will get up & run away.
h.j.,,,,,when i was aboy we used to go possum hunting ,skin them & sell their hides.
