Oh..and inanswer to the other questions: The meat is edible. Many eat it, many don't. Do a google search on raccoon meat for ideas.I have Tom Osborn's fur processing video. It is very well done and for $20.00 it will give you five hours of instruction on how to skin, flesh, and stretch hide for most furbearers.
