What do you do with coons?

Going to try and thin the herd a bit, know I'll never make a major dent but seems like it will be fun to do as well on the property. Got some DP traps on the way. What do you guys do with your coons?

Sell a few when time/temps allow. Usually $8-10 each unskinned.

Feed em to the buzzards

Momma just chases them off with a broom!

Where do you sell them?

Boil em is wat we do....SCHLARHONDA....

Your neighborhood fire barrel/dice game/just standing by the road crowd.

Just have to make sure you leave a foot on there!!

Do you pour some of your 40 on the block while your on the corner with the homies slinging coon?

They are going for 4-5 bucks up here. I leave them in the woods. Not worth messing with to me.

Just roll the window down like all good dealers

Do you roll it all the way down.. or just a few inches just in case🤔

Got a buddy across the river that likes coons. He will take 3-4 at a time. The rest go on a burn pile.

Had a first last night. Was checking traps came to my last one, and I notice it set off and blood all over outside. I look inside and a coons foot?? No dog or yote tracks around trap??

Sometimes a dp will break the leg, especially if it doesn't have enoughswivels, or they get kinked up and they will twist the arm off. I always check traps at first light to minimize as much time in the trap as I can but I know everyone can't do that and sometimes it happens anyway. My guess is that's what happened.

Charlie bet your right. Trap has 2 swivels on chain but he had it wrapped around a tree big time. I use wire to attach to tree then to trap.

Skinning them out is pretty easy. It is preparing the hide that takes time. I know a couple hard core coon hunters. They love it for the sport. But the hides at least pay the fuel costs.

I have eaten it as BBQ and in stews and veggie soups. Not bad.....if it isn't an old boar.

Feed to buzzards.

Putting up a coon is a lot of work for $5.

Shoot em in the head, throw em in the bushes.

A guy I know kills them and hangs them in the bushes above the water at the river. Maggots will be falling off of it during warm days and he catches fish like crazy. Brings in the bream, which brings in the larger fish.

We bake em with sweet taters.

Same thing I do with deer, gut shoot em with 22LR feed the yotes

Put them in a pile in the open and shoot coyotes over them

I've heard you can trade them for a little something if you ain't scared of catching something else.

Yep

coon pelts r almost worthless
