:roflmao: I'm picturing Chasey with a spray can of Pam in one hand and cat food in the other trying to spray him and tossing him kibble.

There is a possum stuck in my crawlspace access. I think he's been there for a few days. My little dog has been barking non-stop and he usually doesn't. Now I know why.

Is there anyone in the Lexington Park area that I can call? I don't know how long this little guy has been there, but he's probably hungry. I just gave him some dog food.

Help!!!!

Did you try rubbing this possum down with vaseline to get him out of your crawlspace ? :shrug:

If you don't have a smoker try this one.

APPLE-ROASTED OPOSSUM Parboil a young, cleaned possum until nearly tender in salted water. Stuff with any favorite dressing. Place possum on rack in roaster, cover with strips of bacon. Into bottom of roaster pour 3 cups water in which have been dissolved 1 tablespoon each sugar and lemon juice. Bake at 350 degrees for about 2 hours. Drain all but about 1 cup liquid from pan. Surround possum with pared, quartered apples; sprinkle apples with mixture of 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind, 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Continue roasting for half an hour, or until possum is tender. Serves 3-4.

Chasey do you think spraying him with pam or something would help him ease out. :shrug:

He's not stuck like that. He fell into my crawlspace access. He's on the outside of the house in a hole surrounded by metal. I have no way of "scooping" him out. Hhhhmmm, wait...shovel...

or maybe a board so he can use it as a ramp :shrug:
 
When I was about 11-12 years old, we found a live baby possum crawling on his momma who was :dead: from a car. The baby was about 2 1/2 inches long. We brought him home and raised him to full grown. We had to teach him how to catch crickets and such... then we took him to a wildlife refuge and let him loose when he was grown...I miss my 'Possum so....:bawl:

Do you have a big fishing net or a metal crabbing one?

I was going to say a fishing pole, but not with a hook, maybe a little makeshift basket or bucket on the end and put some food in it and wait for him to crawl in then, FISH ON. :killingme
