Raccoons were apt to die of unnatural causes when Uncle LeRoy hunted and trapped down by the Zumbro. He was shooting for squirrels and trapping for raccoons. Cousins, did we ever eat raccoon for supper? I seem to remember a lot of fried and baked squirrel, and occasionally biting into buckshot. And I seem to recall that the Broberg boys had raccoon hats. But I don't think we ever ate raccoon and wore squirrel.
