The gentleman was trapping most of them inside Detroit City limits.<br /><br />Having seen the wildlife that wanders city streets early on trash day, I have no doubt that he could harvest hundreds of pounds of meat a month. And once skinned, who is to say it was a coon or a possum?<br /><br />Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-28541969800088739482019-09-27T18:25:51.548-04:002019-09-27T18:25:51.548-04:00Years ago, when the Rust Belt cities were contract...Years ago, when the Rust Belt cities were contracting in size and it was getting ink in the MSM, there was a story about an old guy(probly 'bout my age now) still living in a mostly abandoned area who made a living trapping raccoons and selling them to folks for Sunday dinner.

Their "go-to" for church suppers was meatloaf made from coon. Rod said that you could use a lot of bread-crumbs because there was a lot of grease to soak up.<br /><br />Then one day one of the church matrons asked Joyce how she made the meatloaf so moist and tasty. Joyce told her the truth.<br /><br />They had to find something else to take to church dinners after that.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-51795453090887189722019-09-27T01:52:54.420-04:002019-09-27T01:52:54.420-04:00As I recall from when I lived down in New York sta...As I recall from when I lived down in New York state : coons arent too bad eating if you cook then so the greese can drain!
