Here in South Texas they are calling them CUH. Taquache , Possum

SmTx · 12-22-2020, 01:02 AM

Corn fed for sure

tlh2865 · 12-22-2020, 01:04 AM

Am I missing something? Looks like a plain old possum

Agreed big *** opossum

Louis · 12-22-2020, 05:38 AM

**** big corn fed possum

Slaunch · 12-22-2020, 06:29 AM

Look at the head on that big ole joker. Hot dang it’s been eating good out of someone’s trash bins.

DRT · 12-22-2020, 06:32 AM

I'd do a euro of him and have it dipped in camo.
But only if you kill it with a knife because it's obviously a high fence opossum.

N.DaWoods · 12-22-2020, 06:47 AM

Nasty old opossum. Very common gross creatures. I saw one crawl out of a stinky 2 week old dead cow. But they prefer trashcan and any dog & catfood.

Goldeneagle · 12-22-2020, 06:57 AM

I see em here in Dallas. City possums can get waaaayyyy bigger than country possums. They get better vittles.

Cajun Blake · 12-22-2020, 07:00 AM

Go catch him and post a reward

AntlerCollector · 12-22-2020, 07:08 AM

Big Lee · 12-22-2020, 07:18 AM

I'm surprised he was able to climb the fence!

Low Fence · 12-22-2020, 07:52 AM

“Blue Back”

BTLowry · 12-22-2020, 08:00 AM

Please post pictures of what you are calling a possum and also what you identify as a coon so we can get a better idea of what the thing is you posted

Big boar possum is what I think you have there

Big Lee · 12-22-2020, 08:13 AM

Cajun Blake probably has a recipe for that monster.

Walker · 12-22-2020, 08:20 AM

Big pig · 12-22-2020, 11:55 AM

Good Jerry Clower story: “Wanna buy a possum?”

Anybody wanna post a photo for me? It’s a game cam bobcat.

scubasteven25 · 12-22-2020, 11:58 AM

Very healthy tick eater right there.

Shoot rats too! I used to work at the home depot in the colony and I saw a rat so fat I thought it was a possum. It was stuck in the rack that holds all the wire spools.

I have never seen a possum that big ever. We have killed quite a few but nothing that large.

Gotta live deep in the city of Houston to see them that big.

Fed by the local crazy cat lady that feeds the 2,500 stray cats in the neighborhood.

I saw one once that could hardly walk he was so obese. He kinda did more of a waddle/mosey to the cat food bowls.

JonBoy · 12-22-2020, 05:10 PM

I nearly hit one in the neighborhood about a month or so ago that was bigger than my super fat house cat. Biggest opossum I've ever seen...must've been a good year for em

Dave W · 12-22-2020, 08:32 PM

Yeah it’s a possum , it’s just a bid azzz critter
Thought you guys might get a kick out of it

I figured there would be some coon azz wanting to eat it

??? What are you comparing it to? It’s a opossum on a fence.

oktx · 12-22-2020, 09:20 PM

It's a city person with a fence.

Montec man · 12-22-2020, 09:26 PM

Sabertooth monkey rat

BlessedVeteran0305 · 12-22-2020, 09:35 PM

Flaka opossum

sendit · 12-22-2020, 09:41 PM

I can see “guess the weight of this possum” in the future

bobby314 · 12-22-2020, 09:48 PM

That's a solid looking critter. He would not fight in featherweight division with his buddies.
