We have seen one in our yard at times..I agree possum are ugly critters!! My dh has an outdoor camera set up on a tree in the back part of our yard and we have pictures of a skunk, deer, rabbit, possum, squirrels,woodchuck and wild turkey..not all at one time of course. lol But we did have 12 turkey walking thru the yard and we saw them just in time to count them.
