If it was a slow day I would but I usually dont see them in the woods. Just sticking to the road on some occasions.

Probably not. Not because I wouldn't get a kick out of it if I tried, but I just don't see the point. You have to either resharpen or replace your broadhead blades now and for what......a possum? Nah.....

We don't have any possum up here. I wouldn't shoot at a coon but I would shoot a fisher, we have too many and I figure thats why we rarely see any rabbits.

I probably would as long as I had an arrow to waste with a blunt point on it.Seeing oppossum and raccoon at day time is a bad sign and they may have distemper or rabies. Both of those animals are mostly nocturnal. That said, when I've seen a couple of raccoon roosted in a tree on occasion and I have not shot at them because I didn't want to spoil my hunt. ;)

I let them go. Saw one this past weekend and just watched him go about his business about 10 yards from my stand. It was cool to watch him climb a tree then hang from his tail.

What he said.

What would you do with it after you got it? :eek: Or maybe its just an ego builder.

WHY ? Unless you are going to eat it

I'd let it walk. I get more entertainment from just watching. The only way I would would be if I hunted a farmers land and the owner mentioned that the animal was becoming a problem.
