To some, raccoons are devious creatures who dig through trash cans and stalk through the night. But to Scott, it’s one more animal to skin.
On the farm, raccoons do more than just make a mess, they carry a disease which can infect horses’ spines and kill them dead. So on occasion, the farm sets traps to catch these vicious varmints.
Scott said he used to catch raccoons during the winter when he was a kid- 200-300 of them- and sell the skins. He can make up to $3,000 in only a few weeks.
