Ah, wise words indeed. YES...an emergency food source!!! I've seen many online recipes for possum, some that actually look pretty edible. Of course, we all know ANYTHING can be made tasty with enough spices, ketchup, and BBQ sauce!
Unlucky for those two..but sounds like the wise ones have learned to stay outside "the wire"...

Thanks for stopping by, I sincerely appreciate your comments!!! :D
