EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Some dude is selling dressed coons ready to eat on Craigs List Houston. $5 each skinned and cleaned.

I'm not quite there yet, but may get a nerve up shortly.

can you do that? cant you get introuble for it?

Make sure they leave one foot on or you may get a cat or small dog.. ;)  When we used to sell them the old timers would not buy one w/o feet.

He might get in trouble, I was always told its illegal to sell wild game in the u.s.

I've heard BBQ coon is good! Try it and let me know. In Oklahoma it is illegal to sell wild game of any kind!

I wouldn't clean one for $5... :o

I'm with mike on this one.

i don't know....... i'm thinking at that price i could make $55-60 an hour.

Had a buddy from San Antonio that was never really introduce to Southeast/East Texas customs.... We went to the HLS&R and was getting on the shuttle off 288 and a guy in a van was selling BBQ Raccoon. He couldn't believe it!!! :D :D :D :D :D

when i was a kid my dad would trade a coon carcis for a truck load of day old bread and snack of all kinds, the guys would always want a foot left on them. i cleaned alot of them but i couldnt wait for the ride home .  i rode on the back on  the way home and i ate like a king  ;D
we would feed all of the stuff thats wasnt any good to the hogs and take the rest in the house. ;D

u must be one hell of a coon skinner, i used to sell coons on the side when i was 14 and it took awhile to skin them little things, its not worth $5 to me anymore lol!

i used to get 10 dollars a coon around here it got really good around june 19 sold alot of them but it got were it wasnt worth the head ache i have benn invited several time to eat it but couldnt bring my self to do it. just sat around and drank beer

Dressed coons!!! Thats almost as bad a the pet coon that was on CL today.  Collar and all  :laugh:  Seriously

had an old timer in chadron, nebraska offer me and a buddy a job skinning skunks part time, for ONE DOLLAR per skunk.  Needless to say we turned him down. 

I worked at a processing plant last deer season, and a guy brought in a quartered doe in a cooler.  One of the kids that worked there went to get the quarters out of the cooler, but when he opened it the first thing he saw was a coon, minus skin, with eyes still in the feet and tail still attached.  He just about pulled off a backflip and some pretty cool kung fu moves trying to get away from that cooler.  One of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

Dont pick on pet coons.  ;D Got a little boar coon that lives with me.  Like having my own little fuzzy convict, he steals, is violent and from what I saw him doing to his teddy bear obviously sexualy frustraighted. ;D  You know he really isnt that good of a pet but he bugs my wife and her fuzzy fu fu dog, guess thats why I keep him around. ;D

That's pretty damn funny...

ain't much to it.  just need a pair of tree loppers, a hammer, 2 nails, and a sharp knife.    you should see me with rabbits or squirrels

As long as you have a trappers lic. here in Louisiana you can sell the meat. I still sell them. I'm with dabutcher if you've done enough of them its nothing to clean them. He's a butcher and I'm a taxidermist no problem cleaning them. ;)

Better hope he dont get a hold of that fu fu dog!

Is there a story behind how you got that pet coon? Inquiring minds, you know....
