the possum to blind it and then shot it. He scrambled down the cliff to bring the possum back to me but instead of climbing back up with it, he threw it at me and the blood went all over my pants. I dragged it back a bit and waited for Dad. We plucked its fur and put it into a bag. It was a female possum and had two joeys with it. I cuddled one of them but then dad had to stomp on their heads so they would die. Even though this might sound gruesome it is really awesome fun and I love going with Dad. Dad and //I went possuming twice in the holidays and stayed up at the DOC Base where he works. Altogether we shot and plucked 33 possums, 20 of them had joeys so we haved helped the environment by doing this. We got just over 1kg of fur and sold it. Dad gave me half of the money to put into my bank account.//
