I've got evidence of a Possom or Chupacabra living in the crawl space under my house. I've decided to crawl in there and investigate. Since gun play under my house is out of the question I am going to bring a knive. What kind of blade is best if I have to get rowdy with a fur bearer.

O'possums are nasty animals to deal with. I don't recommend going after them with a knife. I think the best thing you can do is get it/them out of there. Maybe someone can suggest a way to discourage them. I've seen them caught in live traps but I'm not sure about bait. Good luck.
Pepper spray bomb or "Chad smoke" and toss in...stand OUTSIDE with shovel and or "canned magic"

Would advise against going in with a knife.
Set up a live trap, I normally use sardines. Seems to work for possums, and coons.
Either one is a NASTY critter to deal with when cornered. You WILL need a trip to Dr.
Trap, then a .22 to back of head. Problem solved.

Borrow a trap or make one. No way do I want to get close to one of those damn things with the chance of getting bit. You know MD is the rabies capital of the US, right? Even a small bite would be bad.
I hear that porcupines don't like the scent of mothballs, so maybe that's true for possums as well. You could toss a bunch in the crawl space and see if it helps him decide to leave. Cheap to try.

I'd say call Turtleman but he day-ud.

If you know the entry exit point, set up a snare. They are cheap and available on line. The live traps work well also, I used fruit for bait.

Don't bring a knife to a possum fight. You will need stitches and shots! Bait and Live trap. Go from there.

Man up and go in there Bloodsport style you Nancy Boy!!!!!
Nothing says GTFO like a round house kick to the Jib. There's only one way to deal with a trespasser that refuses to comply and that's a 180 degree chuck Norris.

bait trap like others have said. smoking him out will also smoke out your home. .22 shot shells are wildly ineffective (took 5 shots point blank to kill a hog nose snake trying to crawl under my house, a butt stroke would have been kinder and worked better). If it must be dead right now, a good flashlight and a.22 air rifle mght be a good idea for you. Maybe a rimfire .22 loaded with subsonics/ colibres. Still not as easy as a live trap.
