Cool!! But from experience antis usually start with "do you eat them?" or "what else do you do with them besides the fur?" and it goes down hill from there. I view game animals (including furbearers) as a renewable resource and if managed wisely will be around probably for as long as we are. If I dispatch a furbearer, such as a raccoon, as quickly as possible, what's the difference if it dies by my hand, gets greased by a car, or dies a lingering death by distemper, it still is a wild animal that dies. I, and several other people down stream get to use part of it as a resource. End of my story.
Here's a pix of my last coon before winter returned with a vengeance and all the rest have denned up until it warms up again...
