Good job!

I’ve seen several of your post where you’ve caught coyotes. So how many does this one make? Seems you’re doing very well. Hope you get a bunch more.

Always hurts my feelings to have to let a opossum go.

That's a good enough reason!

They will eliminate a tick problem area.
As in 5000 ticks a year!
I think its a darn good reason to let some go.

Heard the same thing from a game warden about the ticks. But he said they can mess up a turkey nest too

How ? They eat them ?

Yea, possums eat ticks, but so do nearly every bird out there. As for the lowly possum, the little fellers lived amongst the dinosaurs, don`t get rabies, and are so ugly they cute. I don`t begrudge a possum for being a possum.

5000 ticks is nothing compared to a what a clutch of turkeys can eat. If you want to let them go bc they are cute, that’s fine. But the tick reason is not a good one.

I would rather pick a tick off of me than see them destroy a turkey nest....just sayin

I would rather get ticks on me while turkey hunting.

I was just meaning when the season is over I hate letting everything other than coyotes walk away. I think the tick thing is a bunch of crap. Have you ever seen a turkey with ticks? I’m sure they eat just as many.

I think opossums are like Cats and they clean themselves regularly and remove ticks and other bugs are they clean. But I highly doubt a opossum walks around all night searching for ticks to eat. What they do like to do is eat every turkey egg they can find. So for me a opossum is as good as dead if I catch one cause I love turkeys way more than I hate ticks.
