PHKC sectionals and pound hunts?

We don't want those possums to go to waste what's some good recipes!!!

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.


I'd use a pressure cooker, much faster.

Any more ?

Headed to work now, but imagine you could do anything to one like a squirrel.

Did find a recipe for a roasted stuffed possum but that is pretty fancy eatin. I'd pair it with dandelion or blackberry wine.

Ain't never ate one yet but I am working up my nerve lol !! I do think it should be on the menu of our first annual PHKC banquet might have to get several cases of the remedy to wash it down might have to have a drink before we try and eat lol !!

It's best to catch them live. Then put them up for a couple of weeks and feed them salted corn and all the fresh water they want. You don't have to put out every possum to a good hound. Just reach up and grab them by the tail then in the sack they go. DON'T carry the sack over your shoulder, they can bite right through it.

PHKC

I was wondering if the PHKC would also include Porkies? We northern woodticks have more of them than we do coons. Every pup that you start can find them, easy to trail and tree. A nice big one will be the size of about three possums. They are real easy to cook also. Once you get the jacket peeled off and gutted, place the fresh Porkie on a rough sawn Hemlock plank around three inches thick and two feet long. Place in oven and roast with little or no seasonings for three hours. Pull the Porkie out of the oven throw it in a ditch and eat the plank as it will be far better than the Porkie.

PHKC

Whoooooaaa! Shaun pump the brakes there sir . the officers in this organization won't tolerate any exceptions to the rules .I tried it and thought I was gonna be the first ever suspension!

Rules committee only meets once every 10 yrs. Porkies are out. Maybe next time. Cant make every body happy all the time.

DON'T EAT THEM ALL.

Some of you folks with tick problems may want to protect your opossum population. May even want to get you a few more.🤔

CHECK THIS OUT:
While many woodland creatures harbor ticks and spread Lyme Disease, opossums kill 96.5% of ticks that land on them and a single opossum may be "hoovering up and killing" 4,000 ticks per week and thereby protecting us from Lyme Disease.
