Pull into a parking lot on some Corp land tonight to go coon hunting scattered around that parking area were ten coon carcasses someone had skinned them for the hide. Around here coon meat will go for 10$ to 15$. For sure it put a dent in the ringtales that our hounds chase.

I'd be livin if that was the case here.. They are lucky to get the honor if the bone pile in these parts.. But I can feel the frustration for $15 a pop

I am a Sport Chase coon hunter I will not kill more than about 10 to twenty a year I hunt about three or four nights a week. Last night treed four and never fired a shot,but I still think it's a gross waste of game because the coons are hunted heavy in our part of Texas.

People buy / sell raccoon meat? I didn't even think coyotes ate those things.
Man.......I missed out on a money making opportunity! When I set my pig feeder 3 years ago it looked like one of those "Occupy Wall St" protest except it wasn't freeloading bums, it was freeloading raccoons. I bet I shot 100 of those things. Still have one or two around but they aren't causing me any problems.
Do you sell the meat to friends, restaurants....?????

I've never heard of anyone eating coons in the last 50 yrs, my grandpa used to back in th depression days. Most people just wanna killem all. I used to coon hunt, let my dogs have fur every time if it wasn't a competition hunt.

Truenorth you made a good point about letting your hounds have some fur,and it makes for a better hound. But about all the land I have to hunt is Corp land and coons are thin. I have also hunted land where coons were causing alot of trouble and those coon had to die or be thined heavy.

Last time I recall hearing about anyone eating a coon, was in the 60's and they was PO Arkansas folk. If you can sell them here in Texas, I'd think a bunch of fellas would be after that extra cash? I remember when the hides where fetching $20-30 (80's) and near wiped them out in some ares, but haven't heard of them bringing hardly $5 for some time? Not worth skinning..

People buy coons for food? You must be kidding.

Doesn't look like we will ever get an answer as to where in Texas we can sell coons for meat.

I know in South Dallas there is a food truck that sells coon meat but I have not seen anywhere buying the coons from hunters.

My Uncle used to run a vegetable route in Bastrop on Tuesday and Lockhart on Thursday until about 1990. He had a large garden, small fruit orchard, kept bee hives, hunted all manners of wildlife and kept rattlesnakes for pets - yeah, it was an adventure visiting his place as a kid. He never threw anyting away and had more raccoon hide stretching boards than I could count. He always had a few coons in the ice chest on his route and seldom ever came home with any. He even had a couple of regular customers that requested armadillos and possums.
To each his own....I mean, come on, look at some of the crap that passes for fine French food?!?!?!
