By my experience the possums are out and about from dusk to dawn and the best time to shoot them is when you're feeling enthusiastic enough to go out and do it.
Pick a warm, cloud-covered night so the Lad doesn't get cold and miserable and make it fun so he wants to come back and do it again. Do a few short missions first and extend the duration as he gets experience and can handle the late nights.
I love hunting with the kids, it's so rewarding. Good on ya for getting him out there.
