A while back I was reading the average opossum will eat between 3-5,000 ticks a year.
Today while driving to a couple of rigs I counted 8 road kill opossums on the 136 mile trip...

Using an average of 4K a year, that's 32,000 ticks that won't get eaten and could end up on us...

Just a thought...

I'd rather kill a possum and save a turkey[emoji41]

No. You won't. No sooner than I will. I WILL root you on though. I hope you get one. Just seems you and I didn't have any luck last year. lol
 
My grandpa always said if you get lost in the woods find a possum and follow him, he'll always lead you to a road. Lol.
