Around here I leave the opossums alone. As I learned from my father, they are very territorial with respect to rats and keep them at bay. They also eat few if any fruits but do a great job of reducing the number of beetle larvae in the soil. If they want to hang out in one of my citrus trees during the day its fine with me.

I also don't shoot the coyotes because we have way to many rabbits and rats in the brush that come down from the nearby open space. On the otherhand, a crackbarrel air rifle with a laser sight will nail any of these critters.
