Hubby went up North coonhunting one year. Said there were so many raccoons that they literally littered the fields. You could just stand there and count them. :O

Are eating the coons? Not may people do that now days, but they used to.

Deer hunting this year was a real treat. Racoons everywhere. We even thought about running a line. Thats a real nice fur. Back in the day we would get a lot of money for that.

No I'm not eating them, but I have....un-knowingly, eaten raccoon before. I'll give you one guess what it tasted like!
