Some I sell to furbuyers, some I keep, some I sell or give to people for taxidermy, some get tossed with the carcass. We eat quite a bit of raccoon. I make jerky with it and it tastes no different than deer jerky to me. I plan to try to make some coon sausage one day. If you clean it right and season it up, meat is pretty much meat. I like it pan fried like squirrel or rabbit or barbecued but no one else in the house eats it that way so I don't do that often.
