Has anyone had success with a .177 on Possumes ?

Well Men, I can only say one thing.

You are a GREAT GROUP of MEN.

I appreciate the information and practical field experience that each of you have shared with me. This is an OUTSTANDING FORUM ! In my time, I have rarely found so many, willing to share there knowledge with a stranger, I thank each of you.

The Very Best,

SHOOT SAFE, SHOOT WELL, AND SHOOT OFTEN !

Kind of new to this thread myself here. but id say if you can use a t/c in your area might be a good idea on tougher game. Granted it is louder but that tradeoff is worth it to the animal. I have a thompson in .22 mag and it dose its trick on larger game..

I get Possums out here all the time in the summer. I use my .177 Xocet to put them down. I've found that a body/chest shot won't do the trick. I now only use head (actually brain) shots. The next thing Mr. Possum sees is the bright light leading to possum heaven. I try to keep my shots inside of 35yds, and I'll work an angle to get the best presentable shot to the brain. Good luck in all your hunting!

I CAN ONLY PRSISE THE PREATORS usually a head shot anywere does the trick if you  have a Gaunder Mountain in your neck of the woods they keep a good stock of them
