Couple of questions for those in the know.

1. Does a raccoon qualify for a predator?

2. What does everyone do with the of a coyote, bobcat, fox, raccoon?

I only ask because some of the trappers sell some of the skins. I also ask because on three or four occasions...in years past...I have seen fox and coyote on the hunting club, but left them alone. Never saw a bobcat in the wild and well...all sorts of sign from raccoons. Been thinking of getting some traps (I know should prolly go on the Trapping forum) but if I had an opportunity to 'ding' one I might do it. We have both turkey and quail on the lease....with only a few sightings of quail and turkey all the time IN OFF SEASON...LOL! I reckon dem der raccons and foxes ate dem quails and quail eggs. Would shore nuff like to get into dem quail sometime if dem coveys was too get bigger.

If the forum is not the place to answer these? Please PM me with ideas.

All of the animals you mentioned are legal for the taking during their posted seasons. The coyotes may be taken with an electronic call. the rest cannot. Also, the fox hides cannot be sold without an appropriate fox tags and this varies per county. Fox, Raccoons and Bobcats also have a specifc season. Coyotes do not.
