Possum Conundrum
Alright experts,
I've got a gyp with a possum problem. We've tried to be smarter, we've tried meaner, we've tried everything from the conventional methods to the outlandish and back. We've tried things that a man shouldn't admit to on a public forum, lol. I need ideas, this gyp is worth fixing if there is a fix.
So here's the brief backstory... bought her early last fall as a green started pup. Would miss pretty bad and tree a few possums then. Started working on the missing by just walking in, shining her trees, then walking off and tapping her with the collar when she was slick. She didn't take long to get surprisingly accurate. Throughout all that she'd tree the occasional possum, and we'd handle it just like the slicks. Mid winter she pretty well quit the possums and her accuracy was plenty good, better than most.
Recently she's started on the possums again in a big way. She trees more coons than anything I've seen and has all the chrome, but she can't pass the possums up. Suggestions?
