    Cute as these animals are, considering their invasive status, I expect culling efforts.

        My wife is from Mississippi. Her family’s handed down self written cookbook has “cooked coon” in it. There is no doubt eating on them - if it’s good is a whole other question though.

          Hmm.

          Thrash diet probably doesn’t make them too tasty. Someone mentioned badger and now I’m wondering what they’re like, given they can eat hundreds of Earthworms a day.
