I mentioned in my last post that I set my trap. I set it with an apple that Jonah didn’t finish eating. Jenna and I put the trap by a log and near it there were a couple burrows. Guess what I caught? I caught an opossum.
Here I am going to whack it with a stick.
I had to whack it several times but then my dad took a whack at it. That did the job.
We started at the neck. It was a little tough but we managed.
It was also hard to get around the head and legs.
Skinning the back was the easiest, then the sides. And when we where skinning we tried to not cut through the meat. We would skin in shifts because it was 35°F out and it was snowing.
Here I am trying to skin it with my sister's pocket knife. But it was hard so my dad got out his fillet knife.
