They are good for nothing but looking at, if you care about that type of thing. I've had birds eat the guts out of coons in conibears that get flipped on their back, could of been eagles. I've never seen them in action doing it. They clean up some roadkill and stuff I suppose, but so do possums and no one cares about them.

I wouldn't but I've known of several people who would shoot them on site, but they wouldn't tell anyone about it. The three SSS so to speak.
