Kill..all vermin...Racoons also carry diseases like distemper, rabies, etc...I kill lots of them every year and have no problem letting them rot.  If I can salvage a pelt I will.  Coyotes same, skunks same, Feral Cats same, Marmots same...I also shoot the occasional porky.  Trapping and releasing does no good...it just displaces something somewhere else.  All of the s bears that they trap and release just make problems in other areas.   :twocents:
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

You guys must have different coons east of the mountains. I would never even consider eating one of the nasty, garbage eating, disease ridden pests we have over here

I would rather eat a pigeon

If nature is going to take care of over population when is it going to take care of us?  :yike:

Good point.

Won't take much. A couple big tsunamis, a massive earthquake, California falling into the ocean, Mt Rainier erupting, that should do it. That'll be enough to keep us in check. At least here on the west coast. Maybe on other continents starvation and disease, along with other natural catastrophe's ought to do it. Oh and let's not forget global warming.

My vote would be pandemic. Throughout history it seems to be the most prolific man-killer. If this bird flu thing ever got off the ground, tens of millions of people could be fatally infected before the first one died. Scary stuff.

I understood everything she said.  I think I have lost most of my accent lol.

Dont get too close to him

I thought that was funny she said she went to the mill.
He asked with what/how much corn?
She said a bushel.
He said what did you come back with?
She said "Grits"...  I thought that was funny.
I think he was asking how much grits she came back with.


I had the raccoons that ate the oysters and clams and crabs.  They was good eatin.  Stuffed with sweet potatoes and crock potted, or slow cooked.  To me its like wanton waste unless it has mange or boils or something, but even deer sometimes have things wrong with them.  I have a hard time shooting yotes cause I dont eat them, but I skin them out.   I have heard that bobcat and cougar makes good jerky.  I dont shoot too many crows cause they taste like liver, I dont like liver too much, but occasionally I will eat it.

I challenge you to eat a raccoon or possum, put it in the slow cooker.  Cut it up like you would a chicken, quartered and all.  Cover it with water and put some onions and taters in there with some Lawrys or Johnnies seasoning.  Slice up some carrots.  Let the meat get done a bit before you add teh vegetables.  It will fall off the bone.  Ive eaten raccoon, possum, squirrels, marmots, and the regular stuff too like this.  You can put some cream in there too just before its ready to eat to thinken it up.

If I was hungry enough Id probably eat just about anything.  Ive cleaned animals and eat sandwiches at the same time.  I think a lot of its in your head, that wont let you eat stuff like that.  I wouldnt eat stuff that feeds out of dumpsters or in teh city, but away from the city even the pigeons are good eating.  They are rock doves after all.

I grew up on the coast and ate my share of shrimp, crabs, oysters, and clams.  Im no savage, I always cleaned my crab before I boiled them, so I didnt have to sift through guts to eat them.  Theres nothing wrong with eating "the other" animals other than what you can get down mentailly.  I used to watch the Vietnamese kids eating them big ol 3/4 inch ants by licking a broomstraw or grassblade and poking it down the hole.
