Have you skinned a few?


Posted by Preacher Tom on 11-15-2024 09:13 PM:

I sure don't know. I haven't skinned one in years. Sure not high enough to mess with in my opinion. Also, I just don't kill very many. I have asked myself if it would make a difference to my dog if I knocked out 50 coons to him.

Prices MN

These were texted to me

2X $4
3X $8
4X $10

As far as harvesting, I don't believe in taking more than 1 per tree and 1 per night is a nice number. BUT I strongly also believe that if you don't harvest you will end up with disease and a weaker population. I was told by an old fox hunter back in the 50's that you have to look at wildlife like a crop/garden and to have a healthy and good producing one you need to harvest it. If you don't, nature will come in with distemper or mange and I have seen first hand that is a terrible death.

Old Timer�you are 100 percent right on harvesting and Mother Nature�we need to understand the balance of nature and how it needs to be managed in each individual area and adjust accordingly�

As far as killing coon, I think it depends on where you live and coon population. We have coon but sure not in great numbers. No crop fields, no pecan groves etc. I would love to be where you can tree 4-5 in a three hour hunt consistently but it's not here. Best coon population we have is right around town where you can't hunt.

I saw a documentary on raccoon. It said 60% of coons are in urban areas. I guess they figured out oak trees provide food 2 months and the Taco Belle dumpster has it 12 months.

And they are not alone�

You will see more coyotes in the Twin Cities than out in the country and their �big� cousins have pushed deer into Duluth where it�s safer and food is easier to find.

We don�t need a dog catcher around the outer neighborhoods where I live�if a smaller dog is out and about at nighttime he will be picked up and carried off by a coyote�I sometimes here the commotion with all the desperate yapping �lasts 2 or 3 minutes, cats are fair game as well�

Coons love the convenience store dumpsters�one store on the edge of some woods would have 8 or ten fat coons all over it at nightfall�

Many coons don�t do well in the woods around here�you will see them dead trying to cross FM roads and highways around here�I believe it is hunger or thirst that gets many killed and sometimes the rut getting from one place to the next�
