Thread: Help / tips with Possum shooting

Others may disagree but the possums where I used to shoot seemed to like eating with a view ie they tended to be up trees around the edge of the bush and I've shot a lot more of them looking up at them than I have from above ie trees below a track
The odd whistle or clicking noise can make them look at you and then you can see their eyes
Using a 10/22 you can hear the sound when they get gutshot it is more of a 'pouf" sound
I've stitched a few up with half a dozen shots with a 22 and they still wouldn't fall out of the tree
I only ever plucked as I went and did the long fur - back fur not tail fur - I could leave one about 15mins before the fur started to "freeze" back on
Just like a dog moulting
Get to know the area and you will find certain trees are more favoured/ produce regularly
