Opossums

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've read numerous articles that state the same....

Too bad they can't dodge cars better....

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.
