Some people here in the east keep them for pets. The Taxidermy shop I worked in years ago had a roadside minagrie and Earnie bought and sold Coatimundi as pets. Was on a National Forest patrol one night and seen a critter with red eyes in the road. It was a Cotimundi, I got a bunch of calls of a Wolverine being seen in Black Mountain area. Should have shot it and made Gumbo, Dang I could have ate the problem.
I had a report of a truck rolling on Richwood to Marlington road. Got calls on several animals including a Big Black Cat. I like coon, Skin it twice, First time remove the hide, The 2nd time remove the fat. Really good if shot out of a corn field.
