possum on the half shell
Just came from Asheville, NC east on I-40 and I 'll be darn if right there beside the road near Black Mountain was one DRT.
Griggs you best look out.

Just be sure you keep them in the hills . We don't need them down here in the flatlands . Also the pole cats and the Ashville liberals .

That might be a possum police holding a dirt digger.
I can remember when their were no armadillos in Okla.
They dig up big rocks in the yard, rocks that hogs would not dig up, then lawn mower whacks them and breaks out windows. I suspect they hide and watch when I'm mowing and point and laugh.
They sure stink fast when dead. In past I would belly shoot them at night in the yard so they would run off and die until one ran under the house and not enough crawl space for removal.
Green flies were thick for awhile and buzzards circling house.
I now go for head shots and cannot sleep if I see one run off wounded, causes flash backs of the stench from under the house. Adds new meaning to the term PTSD.

Don't confuse the delicate white meat possum with those armored creatures! That gives possum meat a bad name.🙂

Ain't eatin no possum. I saw one crawling out of a cow carcass some time ago, nope not going to do no mater how much cornbread you feed it.
Proper way to prepare possum, kill and hang on clothes line for a few days, hang head down, Reverse process, hook teeth over clothes line and allow to simmer for a few more days, every day during this last phase whack it a few time with a big stick to "mellow" it up. When contents seem to be real tender, snip the tip of his tail off and enjoy, sort of like a real stiff milk shake but draw hard enough and all is good.

I saw my first armadillo two or three years ago around mile marker 24 on I-26. I guess it was heading for Asheville and I-40. I wish you people in the southwest would have kept them coyotes and armadillos!!! ☺️

They burrow under my daughters house so she has learned to trap them and release them elsewhere. Problem is they keep coming back. I told her to take them to the other side of the six lane highway next time!

That's wild, an armadillo near Black Mountain. That is 50 miles east of here. I never have seen one up here in the mountains. As far as I know, I left the armadillos and fire ants behind when I left Georgia.

We actually have them in southern, IL now. The local professor from SIU university has called it because of "climate change." 😐️

...Armadillos are cool!...Ive seen 'em all my life, alive and a LOT squished on the roads... they dig out a small, cone shaped hole
when eating grubs and insects...as a kid, found one with its head down digging, whopped it with a stick...the can really run fast when they want to!...

Dang Tex! I did my share of mud pies but......😁

We joke that armadillos are born dead along the road due to their propensity to jump when frightened. This throws them right into the passing vehicles height.

They are interesting critters.....but as they dig holes along my fence rows and waterways, they do not get a pass on our place...

We actually cut up and cooked one a long time ago at squirrel camp as a lark. The meat favored pork, and did taste OK. Most of the time, we call them "Texas Speed Bumps".

Most likely a clean animal. Don't think they eat what a possum would.
