:ninja: The mystery discovered. Glad you got that thing outta there.

With a face only a mother could love. HA!

HA! That reminds me of one I found....I had some old Mustangs out in the woods YEARS ago at my fathers house and lifted up the hood on a '66 Mustang coupe and there was a Possum and it hissed at me....shocked me so I dropped the hood(not attached to hinges) Right on his HEAD!....came back a little while later and he was gone....probably with a pretty good headache!


I've also had the rabies vaccine treatment due to contact with a Racoon years ago that climbed into my garage and wouldn't leave....it ended up being rabid. Interesting side note, once you have that treatment you are permanently immune to rabies....although you can get a 10 year booster if you like...veterinarians do.

There was another
 

Well, yesterday Marcos (jarhed) and I spent the better part of the evening looking for a stench that was filling my closet. After cutting several holes in my walls and ceiling we found the source. I guess the opossum I trapped had a sibling and somehow it croaked in the ceiling above my closet. Marcos removed the rotting corpse into my waiting trash bag and the stench quickly subsided. I cannot describe what a rotting opossum smells like but suffice to say I don't ever want to smell anything like that again.:puke:Hopefully they weren't triplets.

My possum story.

A few years we were getting ready to go to a swap meet. I went to my dad's shop to grab a cooler. A possum was moving around there, I didn't have time to mess with it and figured our dog would take care of it. When we got back that evening I went looking for it. Didn't find it until a few days later dead. Other than squirrels no animal makes it out of our yard alive. She will get them occasionally. Here a pic of our doberman with my 1 year old nephew.

Well I'm glad that smell and dead animal is out of our hair.

That possum looks like an old man I used to work with at a local iron foundry here in Lufkin.
