What to do with Raccoons (dead) (now with pix)
« on: October 05, 2009, 04:35:38 PM »
We want to harvest our own grapes this year, so I've been attacking the raccoons.  Last year "they" got all of them.  I do have the small game license.

My question is, what are they good for?  Hides, sell to the low rent diners, what else?

The weekend count is 9.  Biggest was a 23 lb female.

I would just go through them out in the woods, hides can't be worth too much.   :dunno:

Wine infused coon sounds great.  Turn'em into Coyote bait/food.  I say keep shooting them.
