I would like to find a possum dog for me and my daughters to hunt.
They don’t go as far to tree, they are low down so my kids can see them, and we have tons of them.

Breed or sex doesn’t matter
It can tree an occasional coon
But I am primarily looking for a possum dog

Some of the best I have ever been with was a hound / cur cross you might check the shelters I had a buddy got two pups that way and man they were gamey you don't want a cold nosed dog more like medium to hot nose a couple caged possums they pick it up quick kinda like to have one myself just to go have fun with once in a while.


Tar


My buddy has a half redbone half blue tick right now that came from the shelter and he makes good dogs look bad.

Some of the best possum dogs I've hunted with were walkers. They don't slick tree on possums.

Possums all most seem proud that they beat the dog to the tree. There are no circle trees with possums.

Find an ad that is advertising a jam up tree dog. If it says "dog will tree a possum in thin coon" $500 or best offer...


THATS YOUR POSSUM DOG!

High Ridge , I had a good one a couple years ago but I ruined him. lol Only trees coons now. On a serious note I like your idea. Its not a bad idea at all. Its about the hound and the experiences that come along with it not really what the quarry or type of game we chase. Its about the sounds of hounds that get our blood flowing. If a person is just doing it for the enjoyment side of things you are definitely on to something. Good luck in your search. It prob wouldn't be to tough to train one in a hurry.

Brother N Law has a Cur dog that will tree coon possum or bay diller. And is great squirrel dog. He uses him to keep critters out his chickens so he don't break him off nothing. He won't run fast game. We take him out and it's a blast killing possum and diller. He sounds like what your looking for cause he don't hunt far and always has something exciting happening. Only negative is he don't open on track or have that big beautiful hound mouth.

2 year old B&T, not much count for anything but he will run a deer on occasion and will tree a possum. Last B&T on the place and the price is right.

I want one to. Around here possum hides and coon hides are worth exactly the same $0 The kids I take don't care what they shoot, long as they get to shoot and a lot less walking on possum tracks..

Is it time for UKC to start a Forum just for possum dogs? Or should the possum dog threads be moved to the "Off Topic" forum since possums are "off game"?
