Son almost had to have rabies shots

[BTLowry]

My son came in earlier all big eyed and said a possum almost bit him.

I have told him repeatedly to put the bungy strap on the dog food barrel to keep the coons out. He drags around till after dark to do his feeding and went out and stuck his hand in the feed barrel and almost got bit.
We got him out of the barrel and I popped him with a .22.

I bet he keeps that bungy cord on that barrel for a day or 2 before he forgets

that's scary! Glad he didn't get bit! I bet you're right..I bet he remembers the bungy for the next week or so at least!

I'd rather be violated by Bigfoot than bitten by a 'possum. Hate those things, all beady eyed & rat like!

Glad he's ok

Fun Fact: possums have a low body temperature that is very hostile for the rabies virus. Consequently, it is extremely unlikely, though still possible, that you will ever find one carrying rabies.

Coons however are one if the top carriers and your boy should definitely be using that bungee cord! Glad he's ok.

Done almost the same thing!

Possums facts, is that like cat facts?

Should've saved it and put it in a burlap sack!

Theres nothing quite like driving down the road and having a possum emerge from under the seat... dont ask me how I know.

Good to know, I love catching possums by the tail. Idk, just my way of showing off to the ladies.

Glad he didn't get bit! Wonder if it tried to spur him!!

Ive had to get them twice, once when I was 5 from getting bit by a stray dog and again in my 20s from a coon. I guess Im a slow learner, its not worth it.

LOL, I bet he put on a show! He is tough though, it wouldn't have hurt as bad as a steel trap!
