[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 367093, member: 432"] When I was young in the 70's and early 80's I used to trap raccoon and opossum. As for raccoon I could get $3.00 for the body meat of the raccoon and up to $40.00 for the hide depending on the quality of the fur. I could kill the raccoon and process it right away. For opossum I would have to keep it alive and could give it away. At least I was getting rid of it from our property without killing it for no reason and catching it again in the traps. The receiving party would want to feed the opossum for a week or two to clean it out since they are real scavengers and will eat anything no matter how nasty it is. I have heard that opossum can be really greasy if not done right. I have never eaten either one that I know of unless one of my kin has fed it to me without my knowledge. [/QUOTE]
