trappers

I guess I would have been a great pioneer after all: I have now successfully trapped a skunk, a ground hog, and an opossum. I looked opossum up in wiki, and found out that people actually used to trap them to eat them, and used their fur for brushes. this one trapped himself twice. dad went out last evening and opened the trap so it would leave. at 11pm, he was still curled up and playing dead. in the morning, he was re-trapped. dad said he must not have clipped up the door hatch well enough. so dad had to kind of shake him out of the cage this morning to get him to leave. opossums are much uglier than ground hogs.
