Dead Animal Hunting

So we've been noticing this horrible "fishy" smell in our backyard that had been getting worse and worse as it had been getting hotter and hotter. Tonight the smell became a distinctively "dead animal" smell. Ab found something up against the foundation of the house under our deck. I wanted NOTHING to do with it because I was feeling like dirt all day, and gagging at the prospect of dealing with it, but we had to do something so I went to Home Depot and Sports Authority for some supplies to psych myself up and I didn't mess around...HD for gloves, mask, and plastic suit, and Sports Authority for a huge net and nose plugs :)

Here's the Pre-Removal pic...



Using our big huge net (thanks to Ba for the idea) I jammed myself under the deck and scooped out a dead possum. It was probably the most disgusting thing we've ever done, but we did it, and hopefully the smell will go away soon!
