Looks like this critter is trying to steal my Trail Cam and Critter Cam!

Fortunately, he didn't make off with either, but had he, I had video evidence from another Trail Cam!

You would of had video proof that it was stolen, but you could never identify him as he was wearing a mask!

Definitely trying to steal your cam! Will probably use it at its own den for its own critter cam/protection! 😂

Yep, I'm seeing more run-ins between the rival Possoms Gang and the Raccoon Gang!  The Possoms can be vicious!

I've only seen one attack on camera and that was a raccoon going after a young possom.  The possom actually played dead and the raccon lost interest!

Most of the time, they just dance around playing tough!   ;D

LOL!  Yep, there was a subsequent video that I didn't upload that shows him get up and amble off like nothing happened after the raccoon left!  Possoms seem to be pretty easy going for the most part, and when they act all tough, I think it's mostly a bluff!  But, with the prehistoric saber tooth teeth they have, I'm not going to call his bluff!   :o

I've had one run in with a irate opossum. It was while I was hunting, I think it had distemper, but can't confirm that. All I can confirm is that it no longer had any health problems other then lead poison.

I can only imagine the drama that happens back there that doesn't get caught on camera!  LOL!  It's the Wild Kingdom!
