Is this a case of bows being too weak or the opossum being completely hardcore? If the latter, how do we weaponize them?
>>
>>28654186
This is a case of either an edgy faggot or a young kid that doesn't know any better. Those heads are for target shooting. Even a direct heart shot wouldn't necessarily kill instantly. If hunting or controlling pests you need at least basic fucking broad head arrows or bolts

Opossums are little bastards. Best way to weaponize is to add acid blood and corrosive saliva onto their genes.

Bow scene is absolutely riddled with edgy little crotchspawns. There's every indication that the shooter was some middle schooler with a $50 bow he got from the local Academy and decided to kill shit with his fiberglass target arrows.

The arrow plugged the wound and stopped them from bleeding out

Sometimes you have to do pest control.

In this particular case that little shit should have just smashed it with a baseball bat instead of trying to play fucking Turok the Possum Hunter with a toy bow.

What kind of a pussy can't finish an animal off AFTER wounding it that badly? It sure the fuck didn't scurry off faster than he could have run up and killed it with a stick.

Whatever single mom raised this little shit didn't teach him anything about humanely killing pest animals. My old man told me the first time we hunted squirrels "If you have to kill an animal you have to make it quick. If you can't then don't."
>>
>>28654186
All vermin are surprisingly tough. Coons especially.

And field points are fucking fine, you autists. Why waste a broadhead?

Maybe a judo point to just blunt force it in the head.

It is pest removal. Small animals have shitty, short, brutal lives. Life is harsh. Get over it.

It's an opossum, the worst thing they carry is fleas, their body temperature is too low for basically any disease to be carried by them so even the louse are clean

Them taking up roost around your property also tends to deter more damaging and disease ridden pests like raccoons and fucking cats

That being said, I wouldn't have paid to have it saved
>>
>>28654231

I agree man. I had one as a pet for a few yrs. Got it when it was small enough to fit in a coffee mug. Because of that animal, I ended up becoming a veterinarian.

If you bath them weekly, their fur becomes extremely soft and fluffy, kinda like a cats. Becomes a giant cat - rat that will eat any thing you feed it mostly.

Opossums very rarely carry rabies because of their unusually low (for mammals) body temperatures. However, they are known to carry diseases like leptospirosis, tuberculosis, relapsing fever, tularemia, spotted fever, toxoplasmosis, coccidiosis, and trichomoniasis.

Fuck off, I kill vermin with trash aluminum shafted shit so I don't care if the arrow gets trashed. I save broadheads and carbon for actual game animals.

It isn't illegal to use field points on non game species. Critters are not game species.

Opossums have a remarkably robust immune system, and show partial or total immunity to the venom of rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, and other pit vipers.[6][7] Opossums are about eight times less likely to carry rabies than wild dogs, and about one in eight hundred opossums is infected with this virus.[8]

Have you ever considered actually buying arrows that
A) Are of decent quality and won't get trashed if you shoot a varmint with them
B) Have a nonshit arrowhead so that it will actually kill your game and not give it the very likely capacity to wander off with one of your arrows?

These are very basic things any aspiring bow hunter should know, and they will serve you well when you grow up and actually get into big boy hunting.

This is a case of a dumbass (like >>28654211 said, probably an edgy faggot or kid) shooting an animal with a low-draw-weight bow with field points.

If a 40lb compound bow can through-and-through a deer at 40y with a broadhead I'm guessing that possum was shot with something recurve in the 15-20lb range, AKA a child's toy bow.

Also, possums are hard as fuck to kill.

>>28654227
>not just konking it over the head and getting it over with
Have you actually tried braining a possum? They have a tiny fucking brain in a very thick skull. I smashed one up with a shillelagh/walking stick and had to beat it into a literal blood smear before it actually died. Felt horrible having to whack on it for like 10 minutes.
>>
>>28654229
This. I hit an Opossum in the head with my car doing about 50mph once. It spun around in the air about a dozen times along side the car's passenger side window. I reversed the car to see it, and my friend and I could not stop laughing as it waddled into the woods, turning around to grit it's teeth at us every once in a while. We nearly pissed our pants it was so funny, but yeah, those fuckers are tough.
>>
>>28654808
I have lots of nice arrows, you mong. Carbon shafts shatter and split easily when they pass through something and hit a rock/tree/etc. I have shot through deer and had my arrow get mangled from a rock impact.

Why waste good arrows? Aluminums are cheap, get the job done, and I don't give a fuck if they break or get lost in the brush.

It isn't worth wasting broadheads on vermin. The instant mortality of something I loathe is not worth any amount of $$ to me. Field points kill them fine. I use judos for squirrels and shit that I plan to eat, and several variations of broadhead on large game.

I take 3-4 deer a year in bow season alone.

My experience is that possums come equipped with litterbox training as standard equipment. I got invaded by 3 baby possums once, they stayed behind my file cabinet for about a week. Every night they would come out to eat cat food, drink cat water, and use the cat box. Then they would troop back behind the file cabinet. My cat, who outweighed all three combined, would just sit there and watch them.

Well, for that matter, I would just sit there and watch them. Guess I can't blame the cat for following my lead. I'm a horrible role model for animals.

Possums are fucking almost invincible.

One of my first memories is going out to our barn, and watching my dad try to kill this possum with a hay-fork.

He had this thing back into the corner and probably stabbed it a good twenty times with the hay-fork, the possum was biting at the tines and jumping at him the whole time. he completely impaled the thing and pinned to the wall a few times too.

Then, my dad backed off because he was getting tired, and the fucking possum just jumped out and ran passed him, out the back door. I bet the fucking thing lived another 30 years too.

Possums are hardcore. I hit one in the head with a 2x4 at least two dozen times so it would go on and my dog wouldn't kill it. Not that I mind if she kills them, just didn't want to fuck with it at 2am when I was letting her out.

This so much.
I live in Australia where foxes are a really big problem due to being an introduced species.
I generally just trap them and release them on my neighbours property.

I had two baby possums as pets.

Those are the creepiest, weirdest, most inverted fucking animals ever. They never bit me, but they always watched me. Like hawks. I moved, their eyes moved. And I call total bullshit on the nocturnal thing. Those fuckers never slept. They also shit all over everything.

They can't carry rabies, though. Leprosy, I think. But no rabies.

Fuckers don't die. I don't know what it is about em but they're just bad ass motherfuckers. They don't feel pain, or seem completely immune to it somehow.

I have em all the time out here pestering my dogs and fucking with my trash. Coons too.

I went through a damn quart of anti-freeze in a month and about 30 of the damn bastards but more would still come. I laid out little squirrel traps and chained em to a heavy tire so the thing would scream all night and drive the rest of em off.

It worked but killing him in the morning was a pain. They could eat 22lr like it was nothing. Just scream some more. Ended up using a 000 buck and just blowing it to bits and bleaching it when I was done.

Grisly business, but no more critters.

Possums aren't bad. They're big, slow, garbage-eating rats. You can totally confound them with bungee cords. I've lived around the things all my life and they're slightly higher on my threat list than fungus.

Yep.

Imagine that animals are guns. Possums wouldn't even be HiPoints. They'd be WWII Liberators at best. Made as quickly as possible from the shittiest materials available and just spammed every the fuck where. I'm actually surprised they evolved fur and not just natural cryoprotectants.

So it was one of those shitty Chink-via-Amazon 20lb crossbows.

Point still stands. Anything over 35-40lbs will through-and-through a deer, not half-penetrate a 6lb possum.

In fact, the fact that it WAS a 15-20lb CROSSBOW is even more fucked up and retarded. The shitty little pistol crossbows are still like 50lbs.

This is a case where some numb nuts tried using field tips instead of broad heads because whoever was hunting this thing was an utter retard.

Also, he was using crossbow bolts.

So that's possibly 75-200lbs worth force, assuming he was using a crossbow.

I really wish I could find the retard who shot that crossbow and slap them with the opossum.

Anyone who had trouble with the killing power of the M4 was actually having trouble with their own personal accuracy.

None of my Joes who were dialed in killers ever had any trouble, even at ranges where you're using the bottom of the ACOG's stadia.

>ITT: field points are for killing hay bales, not possums the thread
possums are disease filled rodents that live at max 4 years. Outside of thier native environment, IE "not where people are", they are vermin.

this is why librulz shouldn't be veterinarians; the massive hypocrisy that dogs have a 50%+ kill rate, wild cats have effectively a 100% kill rate, yet rather than killing this literal tree rat "humanely" some brain dead woman veterinarian probably removed the bolts, patched it up, then went back to euthanizing unwanted puppies.

also it was shot with a crossbow; arrows look about 23", have 4 fletching, and no knocks.
