Coons?
Hey all, I have a question about coons. What do ya'll do with em? Is it mainly for the skin, or do you eat them as well? I could have taken one today, but I figured the .243 would be a bit rough on her. I intend to take some squirrels during our small game season, but am unsure about coons.

Coons are usually taken for their pelts, however they can be eaten also. Matter of fact they are pretty good eating if properly cared for. The 243 might be a tad heavy for them, especially if they are body shot.l

What does a coon skin bring these days? My first year out of High School I used to ride to work sometimes with a guy who trapped. I seem to remember a coon skin going for $10, but that was long ago.
