Possum is good for you. Many people eat it and never know what they are eating, yet they love the meat. I have fed possum as a dish for many many years and just never mention what it is.

Nobody mentioned the scent glands. If you don't cut them out the meat would be stinky. Greetings from Trinidad.

Greetings from a 66 year old native Mississippian who is living in Jackson now but grew up in North Mississippi. Moccasin isn't top of the food chain eating but it is edible. Sorta has a muddy taste to me but it does come out as nice pure white flesh which flakes about like fish. Got to watch for all the small bones however. Just in case your viewers might like to watch, I have a video on my channel for grilling raccoon. I harvest and eat a lot of wild game off my land because it is free range, wasn't fed any growth hormones, shot full of medicines, not preserved with chemicals, and is simply pure, natural meat. Plus it is cheap and tasty if you cook it right. I grew up eating wild game and have never stopped eating it. Plus it's pretty hard to beat squirrel dumplings with some hot biscuits or a good rabbit stew. The folks who are buying processed meat at the grocery are missing out on the much better taste of a venison back strap steak or bob white quail smothered in gravy over a bed of rice. Wild duck and deer sausage in pasta is to die for. it's a shame people haven't learned to appreciate the taste of a wild turkey and think that a butterball bird is the way game birds really taste. Alligator's not bad, dove is pretty good, and most everyone enjoys wild hog. Then there's frog legs and crawfish to consider, both of which I have on my land. I could honestly eat nothing but wild animals and game fish and never miss eating commercially raised meats at all. Haven't ever tried a bobcat but am glad you mentioned eating it. I've got a few of those around here too. Might have to give that a try. Keep posing more videos guys! I enjoyed this one. PS> When I was a teenager, when we killed pigeons a friend of mine from Louisiana always took them home because they loved eating them. Never tried them either but I'd think they would be better than crow!

Now, I myself have fried and boiled Timber Rattler...even tried something because of the over boiling, "it fell apart"...made us a Timber Rattler Salad, like Tuna Fish Salad. Well we actually have that on video from the Third Annual Southern Bushcraft Rendezvous...the Fried version is also on video cooked at home...but fried is a tough meat and it does indeed shrink up to nothing...very tasty though...really no flavor what-so-ever. Rattler has no flavor to speak of is what I'm trying to say here...just got me an Opossum last night..."I call them Possums"...skinned it and shot a video on the skinning process...but am researching You Tube to see how to cook it to where it will be cooked right first time every time....I'm thinking about frying it like Deep Fried Chicken...Because Mississippi Boys Like their Chicken Fry...Might save some in the freezer because I do Have a Bit of Crow myself that I love to eat...and put that Timber Rattler, Crow and Possum in a pot and make a stew...we ate all the rabbit though by-the-way...lol.

I caught an opossum that's been stealing eggs and killed some of my pet chickens last night. Too bad I don't want to kill and eat it, to exact my revenge. I just don't have the stomach for it. Yea, I know, it is its nature and not to blame but still.

I found out years ago - you can soak any kind of wild game meat in Sprite/mountain dew type soft drink and it will take gamey odd taste out . More often than not feral hogs don't have that "GREAT" taste sprite will improve them big-time . I bet it would work on possum too .

cr500mike tried the vinegar soak, tried milk. We got so many posium here in CT thought they were rats. Never saw one in Minn. Thought they might be like muskrats or porcupine.
