A Possum jacket sounds....interesting  :o

You should have posted this a couple of months ago.  I tried to trap some coyotes and all I caught were possums.  Got a couple that were trophy size.  My daughter finished this one off.

You might need close to somewhere around 10 to 12 hides for a jacket liner I figure from the past.That's assuming you take the middle 6" out of each one and those will be big ones.I'll skin a few here that might try to raid the cat pan from now to spring.They hole up here when it gets below 10 degrees temporarily though.

She looks proud. Seems she knows how to handle that little pistol too. What calibre is it?

My dad is in the Pest Control business and gets opossums quite regularly. (Mostly in the summer)
Normally we just throw them away.
We could probably skin them, but we've never done anything past that...   Do they need to be tanned, or?

Where are you located?
