Whoa! Judith's tale of the "drowned" possom gave a whole new level to
the notion of "playing 'possom".
We have possoms ('possoms? opossoms?) here in (sub)urban Sacramento. One
used to browse the cat food left on our deck. (We actually fed the thing
- I think they'r kind of cute!) Anyway, they did seem to be very big on
veggies of all sorts (sweets too - grapes with honey on them went over
VERY big!) so I imagine they'd be hell in a garden!
My POINT (and I do have one) is that they were very wary of dogs so I
expect the coyote urine suggestion would work just fine! (Or you could
get a dog or leave one you may have out at night!) I also understand
they are not very long-lived so this could be a passing problem.
Peace, love and peppers
