[QUOTE="tree md, post: 3568731, member: 1338"] I almost got bit by a possum a few years ago. I was doing an ancient Maple or Fruitless Mulberry, can't remember which, but it was a tangled mess that had been topped about 25 years previously. The possum was living in the rotten hollow where one of the topping cuts had been made. He nearly had my hand in his mouth when I looked around and saw him. I almost jumped out of the tree, save for the fact I was tied in. Also had a squirrel bail down the spar on me one time. He hit my shoulder coming down, jumped off of me and hit the ground running. I've had many encounters with critters in trees. Too many to remember. [/QUOTE]
