Im pretty sure my insurance is taking care of it. Paid my $100 copay and that was it

Rabies is ugly and is no joke. I’m scared to death of it . Ever see videos of people affected with it? Nightmare fuel!

Be safe!!

I didn't go to the DR when I had my skunk incident just took the head in for testing. Dieing from rabies when it would have been preventable would look foolish. Even though Im pretty good at looking foolish on a regular bases I wasn't ready to end the streak with rabies.

You pinched an ER nurse, she got mad and bit you, now your worried about rabies? Site gets crazier and crazier

With what Missouri coon are worth, I can under stand why you would not want any blood on them. Do you even skin them? I hope your insurance covers the shots. It may take over a thousand of those coat coon to pay for them.

My son has skinned all of them and has a freezer full of them. Trapping is his FFA project this year. I sure miss the prices from 12-13 years ago.
