But then again, I've seen a black jack 'possum hold off a whole pack of coon hounds when cornered.  I know I wouldn't pick one up unless I had on welder's gloves.  They can bite something fierce.  
My ex and his family used to capture them live, and feed them corn for a week or so before butchering them for the pot.  You parboil them whole, then smother with lard and bake  with onions and sweet potatoes.   I would not recommend it for gourmet fare. 
And besides, the skin looks too much like cat hair for me to appreciate it.

wheel. Ever notice that they stop in the headlights? If EVER anything begged to 
be road pizza....
