$10 worth of coon pelts.

He'll be blind in 5 years from the eye worms.

That's the place I want to trap coon.....

That won't end well.

Eye worms? Please enlighten me, never heard about that

Funny Finster

From what I have read on that video, he gives dewormer to all the Raccoons he feeds. He SAYS there is no Rabies in his part of Canada.

Back around 1981 1982, there would been $625 right there.

He’s been feeding them for decades he said in one video
He spends a small fortune on hot dogs , grapes and some kind of dry food for them

My pleasure to enlighten;

Baylisascaris procyonis, common name raccoon roundworm;
is a roundworm nematode.
Infection of the eyes may result in permanent visual damage and loss.
Raccoons therefore are important in maintaining the parasite, providing a source of infection for humans and other animals.

How does one get infected with this roundworm?

feces. wash your hands after you fool with coons

It's eggs are shed in the feces. About the size of a grain of sand. Getting one induced orally by touching something contaminated and getting it into your mouth. I bet there are thousands of roundworm eggs on that deck. They eggs live outside the host animal easily for a long period of time. Very hard to kill the eggs.

Well, he can feed them the same way by "feel" only in a few years.

Last spring I caught 17 coon in three weeks and I took them a couple miles away and released them all alive but with a red tail I painted to see if they would come back, none of them did. All the neighbors shot there catches. They tell me that they will not make it in a new location. Not sure.

Thank you Mark, that is good information, I had no idea. Guess I should be extra careful if I ever skin a coon again

Did not watch the video but based on watching the youtube clips on buying fur at $3.50 each there is about $100 worth of fur on the porch. Can't buy much pet food with that amount of money. Wonder what the coon toilet looks like?

I can't remember if its this guy or another "coon whisperer" who had a video were he said he gets bit fairly regular in feeding them. I think that was another guy in either PA or MI. He didn't have as many on the porch at one time as this guy.

I wonder what mostly hot dog coon fat rendered down tastes like...?
