Don't know what it is my dog has never treed a possum since I've had him he's treed 3 in two weeks caught one in a cage put him on a chain and shocked him every time he went for it to the point he went as far away as the chain would let him. Gonna try tonight. Anyone else having trouble?

My 7 month old pup treed one the other night. I cut him were they dump dead cows. I knew there would be some there. She showed interest there so I bumped him, told him bad game and sent him on. He went about 150 yards and treed on one. Done a good job. LOL...... I walked up, shot it out, started shocking as hot as my collar will go as soon as his teath got the possom. Then about the time the safety kicked the collar off I had him by the collar whiping him with the possom.
Sent him on and he got under a coon, got to fight it and ended on a real good note. Hasn't touched a possom since. I still dump were I they they are but our woods are full of them and that is one thing I never kill. Unless it is to train a dog.

Had a possum climb a tree outside my dog's pen a few nights ago and just sit there looking at her. Sat on a limb not far from the ground just above the pen's height. Made me mad as could be b/c it was almost like the thing was purposely antagonizing her. BUT....I shined the light on it and scolded her bad enough that she went in her doghouse and I never heard another peep the rest of the night.

I sure don't like to kill possums. I have two places that I hunt where possums are real thick. One of the two places will be my first drop on a nite hunt.

I'm confused... I thought these hunts were FOR opossum... dang. no wonder. hahaha JK

The first thing I say in a cast after we cut the dogs loose is "This IS a opossum hunt, right?" it helps break the ice haha

has any one else noticed it being hard to tell when your hound hits a coyote. i always know if its a deer because they will take them out of the country but a buddies dog likes to hit coyotes and this time of year its hard to tell if he is on a old boar track of a yote. how can you guys tell?
