No pics, sorry I was already in bed and was kind of rushed.
About 30 minutes ago my step mom comes banging on my door and says that there's a possum in the chicken coop. So I grabbed my marlin 917v and run out, beautiful shot hes up in the corner stationary hanging onto the ceiling. Popped one in the spine from about 2 feet and he fell, took him out the coop and saw a little bit of twitching, he may have been after our chickens but I hate to see him suffer so I popped him again in the head and that was that. Unfortunately none of us are any interested in possum so he's nothing but coyote bait. In checking the rest of the chicken coop we found one of our chickens had tangled itself up in the netting in the panic when my step mom went to get him out he jumped out and ran off towards the woods in the darkness, about 15 minutes later we'd herded him back into the coop so it looks like we've got one dead possum and no dead chickens (a few days ago this same bugger ate the head off one of our chickens.) After securing the coop we took him down to the field we're hoping to lure the coyotes (faaar away from the house and chicken coop) and left him.
