What to do with Raccoons (dead) (now with pix)

[Gutpile]

Sweet!!! Gotta love that. Where in the heck do you live?? Need help??

[BLKBEARKLR]

Be nice to get that 32 pounder mounted. That is a big coon.

I have ony had one come in since then.  He ran before I got out there.

I think they have me on the "do not call" list

The large one had substantial head trauma, I don't think he would have been a good mounting candidate.

Come to think of it, they all have head trauma.

The count is now 15

if you can get them alive, work on some cross breeding, see if you can get a beaglecoon.

otherwise, raccoon sandwiches.

Get all the fat off, good stew.  I think with that many you'd have enough for a batch of bratwurst.  I bet that would be awesome.

actually that does sound good

Just be careful handling them, really good idea to glove up.  Raccoons carry a roundworm, Baylisascaris, that causes severe - even fatal - disease in humans.

I wanna know whats the best meat on coons... should ya just take the quarters and leave the cavity? Will that make getting the nastie stuff harder

[lokidog]

You wouldn't need to gut them, but don't forget the backstrap.  The key is to get all the fat off whatever else you do. 

I fed a batch of stew to a non-hunting friend's family once, he knew what it was.  Everyone liked it and his two young girls asked for more even after finding out what it was.

I wish I had that many coons around my place! I'd have the entire garage covered with coon hides. That's way cooler than painting it.
