What animal is this?

[Guest TankerHC]

A relative told another relative it looks like it weighs about 30 pounds. The other relative says its probably a bear.

What do yall think. 30 pound bear?

I figure they grew up in the mountains, many of you grew up in the mountains. So I'm sure you have seen plenty of 30 pound bears to compare

That aint no bear.  It's an opossum.

[Guest TankerHC]

Yeah I know. Was joking. But that was a real conversation.

Looks like the rare soft-shelled armadillo-- they have been moving up from the Gulf for several years now.

Snipe for sure...

Opossum. I have one bigger than that living under my shed just outside my fence for the dogs. Keeps them wound up all the time. I started to shoot him yesterday but didn't want to have to discard. JTM We the People of the United States, in order to form a more Perfect Union......

You'll need a pillowcase to catch it.

You'll need a pillowcase to catch it.

And a blindfold.

In my experience a paper sack works just as well.

Never blindfolded no one on a snipe hunt before.

wild hog. TWRA just upgraded them as a nuisance in Tennessee. They have been damaging a lot of wildlife areas in TN and are a growing problem. I would recommend you shoot as many as you can and if you don't like the meat then donate it to hunters against hunger or a local food bank.

Elusive black panther.

 

 

Can't be. That picture is no where near a voting booth. 

 

Definitely a 'possum.

Uh...uh....no you can't. Shooting hogs in Tennessee is not legal except under certain circumstances! And for the most part, donating hogs is not authorized!

Nah, they've been classed as "destructive to property and may pose a safety or health risk to people, livestock, and other native wildlife" for years.
