It seems he has moved in with me. Well, on my property anyway. I found this burrow excavated between my house and the neighbor, the entry on my side and the 'residence' on the other. I set up my game camera to see who lived there and by golly it's the same opossum I trapped last week.
I don't know if he was responsible for all the damage to the lawn but if so it appears that he has either eaten all the grubs and earthworms or has developed a different diet. Sorry I couldn't get the video to imbed so just follow the link.

If you need to relocate him, you will want to take him a pretty good distance away or he will just return.

May you live in peace with each other.

I finally figured out that I have to bribe the deer to leave my landscaping alone. Put out an apple cut up every night and once they get the sweet taste of apple nothing else I've planted tastes good
