The 1911. Kinda like a Glock, but for men.

I've had coons and squirrels climb the tree I was in, but I wasn't crazy enough to try petting them.
There's little to no room maneuver up there so they got a 22 bullet in the head for their efforts.

Looked like it might have been a pet raccoon.
Some people have those....


My cousins (all girls) had a few pet racoons around the ranch over the years.
Get em young enough, expecially before their eyes are open and they tamed pretty easy.

I figured as much, but them that I had encounters with definitely were not pets and seeing as how they are perfectly capable of putting the whoop ass on a hound dog 5x their size I wanted no part of tangling with one up in the confines of a tree climbing stand 15' off the ground.
That, and barbecued coon is pretty dang tasty.

A coon is without a doubt the nosiest busybody of a critter a person could keep as a pet.
Little malefactors will find a way to get into everything.
Given the opportunity I do believe they could figure out how to open a combination lock...
 
Seriously you've eatin coon?
Several times. My grandmother would bake it for hours in her homemade BBQ sauce!! :love:


1 Thanksgiving, my uncle brought one to her house in the morning, left it in a bag. She opened the bag to find a skinned coon, face & all!! Still can't believe he survived the experience!! :ROFLMAO:

My grandma would take a cleaned coon and rub it down with salt, paint it yellow with mustard(literally), place it in a cast iron dutch oven, cover it with sliced onion, crush up several dried cayenne peppers on it, place several sweet potatoes around it, and slow bake it for hours in the oven of a wood stove while occasionally basting it with a homemade vinegar sauce till it was falling off the bone.
Did the same with possums.
Yeah, I've ate possums too, and fox.. and bobcat... and snapping turtle... bullfrogs... gar fish... eels.... alligator, armadillo, crow and most everything else that walks, crawls, flys, or swims that looks like it might be good fried, stewed or barbecued.....

Coon smoked in hickory or pecan branches. Make a roux, drop some onions, garlic, red potatoes, etc., and cook in covered pot till meat falling off bones.

Hardest part in delicately removing the musk glands and removing the head. Hit or leave those glands in - you'll know it soon enough.
