when you live in a sub. city it's different. you dont want these rodents reproducing and getting out of hand. Animal control is not going to come out for a possum and i'm not wasting time and money buying traps so the kids around here can mess with them. The last glue trap i setup caught a 7 year old kid.
your son looks very hesitant to touch that critter! haha
He's cute! How old is he now?

I just wanted to say, if you were raised as a "respectful" hunter...you would never have attempted to shoot a opossum with a pellet gun...... that as you said just doesn't do the trick. Either trap/relocate or use a bigger gun, if you are having problems.
In my experience, a young opossum was regularly gaining access to our basement...... Hubby just picked the young'in up by the tail. Here is a picture of him in our kitchen. And as politely as possible, put him in the neighbors yard.........then we fixed the crawl space opening that lead to access to our basement...........problem solved.
They can be very mean, but would never attack unless cornered. Unless of course if it were diseased. I have not had any problems just respecting their space, and have never seen a rabied one either.
