Catch him first. You'll have plenty of time to decide what you wanna do once he is skun and in the freezer, if you catch him that is. Good luck. WCL

my dad has been trying to get a good looking raccoon for years to mount... He had an otter he found dead on the side of the road mounted and it turned out pretty good.

Sorry didn't see this before. Depends on your taxi around your area and how good they are. I charge $400. WCL
