'Possum' You'll find them a little harder to kill than rabbits which are a snap to kill with a sharp blow behind the neck with a stick or the side of the hand. A gun works just fine too.
Once dead, remove head, tail, and feet at the knees. Then skin just like you do the rabbits. The skin will be a little harder to take off than rabbit skin, but it will not tear and will come off in one piece just in case you want to save it as a trophy. Ha Ha..
Then you clean it and cut it up just like you do the rabbit. If it is a young possum 1 1/2 to 3 lbs, cook it with any rabbit recipe. If it is larger, soak it over night in salt water and make it into a stew or some dish that allows you to cook it until it gets tender

Sweet 'Taters And 'Possum
Recipe By: Arthur and Bobbie Coleman
Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1 Possum
Salt as needed
8 Sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Sugar
Bacon slices as needed
Thyme or marjoram to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper optional
First, catch a young fat 'possum. This, in itself, affords excellent
sport on moonlit nights in the fall. Remove the 'possum's fur, either
by skinning or by soaking the 'possum in hot lye water, being careful
not to get any on the hands. Clean, take off the head and feet (unless
you want to cook it like whole roast pig), and wash well. Salt the
'possum well inside and out and freeze overnight, either outdoors or
in the refrigerator.
When ready to cook, peel sweet potatoes and boil them 'til tender
in slightly-salted water (to which 2 tablespoons of butter and 1
tablespoon of sugar have been added). At the same time, stew the
'possum 'til tender in a tightly-covered pan with a little water.
Arrange the potatoes around the 'possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle
with thyme or marjoram, (pepper is optional), and brown in the
oven. Baste with the drippings often. Served hot, sweet 'taters and
'possum, is "a dish fit fer a king!" Yum, Yum !!
Just incase you wanted to cook some Possum!

I'll gladly try it, if somebody else does all the work. I've only ever cleaned 1 possum...and I'll never clean another one.

 Anything that will crawl out of a dead cow or anything else i just ani't gona eat.
Only thing differant in a possum and a buzzard is wings and fur.
And you ani't seen one buzzard recipe on here.

I think that crawling out of a dead cow thing is kind of a show stopper for a lot of people. Can't tell how many times I've heard that. Seen it too.
