had that happen in an austin1100 when i was younger .we were way out in the w hop whops up a bush road spotlighting jackos .alls on full alert round the corner and here smack between the headlights are ma &pa jacko in a furious lengthwise lambada. mate didnt hesitate pedal to the meal and what a bloody racket as possum met body pan.slid to a halt ,all piled out expecting two nearly dead jackos -zilch apart from a wobbly arse goin up the bank into the bush!
Ol jacko is a bloody tough customer at times.
actually just a word of warning .if you do nail one be bloody careful when pickin the carcasse up .I see lots of guys grab em by base of tale and hiff em onto a truck.those claws are not only to atttachh em to trees and telepho ne poles they can also inflict a nasty bloody wound to humans if the owner is in distress .had it happen to my twice when trappin em as a kid.a cowkick from an olde doe opened one of my fingers right up and it bloody hurts.brother had back of his hand ripped open by a supposedly dead possum.
