Any openings in the trap must be much smaller than the critter you are trying to catch.
No wonder there are no Australian mountain men.
All my caught possoms have been raiding the feed barrel. I would have to kill them before I could feed the chickens.
Get an empty barrel, garbage can, whatever, Throw some ripe garbage in the bottom. Place a board as a ramp up the side with a bait trail to the edge. You will have your possom looking up at you hissing and swearing the next AM.
It will work, possoms dont go to college, they are not real bright. It is a miricle they have lasted these millions of years. They can't even cross a road.
