Skunks by the tail I know doesn't work hmmmm - 08/11/12 07:24 AM
I would much rather handle about any animal by the tail . I would not suggest muskrat or white tail deer both got me really good but that's how you learn . You don't see my son jumping into the trap ring when fox trapping anymore . that fox sent him to the hospital . Warning video contains but crack just hold your hand up when my back is turned toward you . My little queen was running the cam and was really into skunk wrangling . If you ever wonder who is miss pre teen kalkaska is thats my daughter , she's a trapper / queen proud DAD here , she's a 11 year old mink,muskrat,coon trapper with a 12th grade reading level . Perfect grades in all classes .

You have a daughter with a 12th grade reading level and you still do the posts?

Here's a question for all you tail grabbers. If you hold an opossum by the very tip of his tail, can he still get to your hand?

Not if he hits the side of the shed first

Lotsa posts, no answers. Can an opossum, if you hold him by the tip of the tail, get to your hand?

Yes Paul he could if you let him climb up his tail . When they start just give them a little jiggle

ponyboy, if you hold an adult opossum by the last two inches of his tail, I don't believe that they can climb it. At least I've never had one do it and this year it seems I catch one every day. I did get a surprise when I held a young one by the tip of the tail so the customer could take a picture. He was sitting on top of my hand very quickly. I guess opossums are just like people. When you get old and fat you can't do pull-ups anymore!
