I did some reading on that and there was some validity to the tale. Basically they can carry some mites and diseases that are an issue. The solution was wear gloves while handling them until they are skinned and gutted. I would guess raccoons would be the same way.I believe that hard freeze story is an old wives tale.
Oysters R in season. What round to you recommend for the oyster. Sorry - moderators - chastise me for this.
If yotes won't eat them, they can't be ok! That's my general policy anyways..... If yotes won't touch it round here, then I won't either, some raccoons do get eaten from time to time but in general the bugs get em first (and not for a lack of yotes) idk what's different about the rare occasion trash panda that DOES get eaten, if the yotes are particularly inexperienced or desperate that day or if the raccoon itself is different from others somehow but here at least, they've been taken off the menu. Snake, rabbit, etc, are still on the menu though.I've had raccoon a few times.
You're not missing anything.
About the only thing that eats them around here are buzzards and bald eagles.

I know you are supposed to only eat rabbits after a hard freeze.
Had a friend who was wanting a raccoon pie. We have plenty of them at the ranch and I'd rather eat one if I shoot one if it's safe.
Thanks!
To put it bluntly most people are terrible cooks.

Supposedly only wild ones; most are farmed now for year round consumptionOnly in months with an “R” in them.
