Don't know if I'd raise them, but I would eat them if I had to and there was nothing else.

Great suggestion!   Groundhogs  have lots of meat on them and they seem pretty docile too.

Groundhogs are not docile!!!!  They will tear you apart if you give them a chance!  They can be somewhat "tamed" but not to the point that you can trust them. Also, while they are a little more palatable than Possum they are not what you would call tasty.  My Grandfather would cook one every now and then but he would have to warn everybody first. You literally could not stay in the house while one was being cooked because it would smell so bad.

YIKES!  I had no idea they were vicious.  They look so peaceful smashed on the road....  Are you sure he wasn’t cooking badgers?  Old people have pretty bad eyesight.

Still wondering if you've ever eaten an opossum.

Just raise chickens.  They'll eat anything a possum will eat, and they taste a lot better.
Plus they lay eggs.

Nope, never eaten a opossum.  Here is a list of other foods I’ve never eaten.

1)Turtle
2)Squirrel
3)Rabbit
4)Frog legs
5)Dove
6)Pheasant
7)Duck
8)Goose
9)Carp
10)Pigeon
11)Rat
12)Ground hog
13)Snake
14)Eel
15)Bear
16)Wild boar
17)Elk
18)Moose
19)Monkey
20)Wombat
21)Ostrich
22)Worms
23)Grubs
24)Spiders
25)Maggots
Or
A)spam
B)potted Meat
C)Vienna Sausages

But I would eat them if I  was  hungry.  And I wouldn’t bitch about how it tasted, what it smelled like or how mean and nasty it was when it was alive.  Only a spoiled brat or a ghey would do that.

maggots - since you have never eaten them, I'd recommend you don't start now.  Maggots can transfer botulina to fowl/poultry and pparrently that can also be transferred to people who eat eggs/meat.  I got this second hand so Ihave not confirmed it, nor do I want to.  This is why meal grubs and wax worms are preferred protein sources for poultry, in addition to earthworms.  

Out of your list, I have eaten all BUT the following:

11)Rat
13)Snake
19)Monkey
20)Wombat
21)Ostrich (but have eaten emu)
23)Grubs
24)Spiders
25)Maggots
Or
B)potted Meat

Hey little boy your mommy is calling for you. You are up past your bedtime.

Wow big letters.  That’s the equivalent of yelling right?  Usually when I argue with liberals or people with an inferior IQ (redundant?)  they eventually start yelling.  That’s a pretty good indication someone can’t keep up intellectually.  Anyway, you really got me that time, and you figured out how to increase your font size.  Good for you Corky.    Also, I don’t get it, what’s your point?

Thanks for the heads up.  Hopefully it won't be an issue any time soon, for any of us.

No problem.  One thing I wonder about though, Vultures which are really just aerial possums.  Reckon a fella could raise these for food if SHTF? See, how it works is you take a side of beef and lay it in a field of wheat. Yeah, i know you can eat beef, and wheat, but I'm trying to get past that as beef poops a lot and wheat is damn hard to grind unless you have one of those fancy wheatgrindey thingies. So back to the SHTF plan, you take a side of beef, whole black angus cow if you 'can has' one, and you lay it in a field of wheat. Now when these aerial possums land to eat that cow out, starting with it's bung meat which I hear is the softest, you catch them and eat them. Yes, I know they stink -well,  they eat rancid cow bungholes, what do you expect? Are you some kind of fancy boy for poo-poo-ing the notion of eating an aerial possum? I have eaten worse, including rotten cow bungholes. No, I have not yet eaten an aerial possum, but that's what this post is all about. So back to the specifics of my shtf plan for these yummy critters, you can even pen them up in your chicken pen (remove the chickens first, as chickens smell horrible and are loud.) and raise teh vultures for emergency food. You will need to obtain beef and chickens for the aerial possums to feed on. That will be the only tough part.

The fat ones weight about a pound. (mostly gristle, shankmeat, and rancid parts) Remember to remove the crop, which will be filled with dead cow bung holes, beef, and chicken.  Throw that away, or feed to the other vultures.

Ape man, just messin with ya....hope we can laugh together.  thanks for keeping a good attitude through this.    Serious note, we have a member name "Rizzo" who likely has eaten both possum an vulture as this is his arfcom "thing."  I will pm him to see what he says.

That's sigline stuff right there



 

They don't taste to bad and yes they are the other, other, other white meat

LOL, all yours brother!

It can, has and will be ate.

"To my friends This site is brought to you by me. For when you really need a good laugh."

And a good laugh has been had by all.  I loved the part about possum milk.  
Ease of milk collection - Intelligent possums are trained to hook themselves up to and disconnect themselves from the milking machine. As Bill Bob says “That's Easy Farming”

I just laughed so hard I woke my whole family up.  They asked what was so funny.  I told them, nothing, just possums, just possums.
