-- Treeing Possums (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928296649)

Was told by a couple different guys that they pick up a road killed possum, throw it in the box with the dog, and shock the crap out of the dog as they are driving. Said it completely broke their dogs off possum.

BREAKING DOG OFF GRINNER'S

BEST WAY I FOUND ,WAS HUNTING 1 NIGHT WAS OVER A HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. MY DOG TREED 1 OF THEM OPOSSUMS,HAD TO WALK QUITE A WAY'S UP HILL TO GET DOG TREED.SEEN WHAT I DID ALL THAT WALKING UP HILL FOR,WAS MAD AS HECK,SHOT THE GRINNER OUT TO MY DOG WHEN HE GRABBED THE GRINNER I LIT HIM UP,CARRIED THAT GRINNER THE WHOLE WAY BACK TO TRUCK.PUT DOG IN BOX THREW GRINNER IN THERE WITH MY DOG,HEADED HOME ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES I WOULD SHOCK AND SHOCH HIM HARD.GOT HOME AND DOG DIDN'T WASTE ANY TIME GETN OUT,LOL. YOU COULD NEVER GET HIM TO TREE ANOTHER ONE,COULD HAVE PUT ONE IN HIS KENNEL AND HE WOULD HAVE NOT CAME OUT OF HIS HOUSE UNLESS THE GRINNER WOULD HAVE WENT IN.SHOCK HIM AND SHOCK HIM Goooooooooooood.

John, I think the e-collar has taken over the old methods. LOL We hardly ever hear about them anymore. My favorite was to take a 409 pump spray bottle full of gas and drench the possum. Then take a stick and shove the possum out. When it hits the ground and dog grabs it, strike a wood match and throw it at the possum. I about fell off the tailgate when a hillbilly at a prohunt told us that one. LOL

i dont mind if my dog trees a possum because im not going to any big hunts so a possum is just as fun as a coon. i dont shoot them out or praise the dog, just pull them off the tree. i would sooner have a dog that trees possum than one that thinks its going to trees squirrels

If you want to break your dog off possums, 1.) Catch a live possum. 2.) put live possum in dog box with dog in same compartment. 3.) ride around with dog and possum in same compartment shocking dog every 1/2 mile. 4.) release live possum and take broke dog home.

I have struggled with this for years. I have beat, kicked, shocked and cussed. I have tried everything short of settin em on fire (funniest story ever btw). I wonder if breaking the dog off the track would be more successful than when they tree em. Im going to try turning a possum loose, or when i see one crossing the road, and let the dog start trailing it and press the button. It works on deer, why not on possums..? Cant hurt i dont think. Just an idea. If it works..i want the patent on it lol!!!
