It's too bad it had no tail any idea how it lost it? It was not in the trap. I threw it out because I thought it would be worth nothing. God sends down his blessings!!

They pull off rhen skinning ro fleshing some times Now I'm not saying they are worth anything just that they sell without tails. They don't use the tails for much as I understand it. Nice catch.

Just curious what you mean when you say “God sends down his blessings”? Because if it’s the raccoon, you thought it was worth nothing. Cold as ice!

Yes I believe God is blessing you and the people who you share this with. Good job and keep it up. Last edited by Dillrod; 11/02/22 12:26 PM. Reason: Sp "Some Domestication Required "
