Is that really a fair price?

Sounds more like something you'd expect to hear about in the Ozarks. Maybe our nuevos americanos have taste for 'coon?

Sounds like you need to get away from Fairfax more often and spend some time
in the real world.

From Wiki:


While primarily hunted for their fur, raccoons were also a source of food for Native Americans and early American settlers.[249] According to Ernest Thompson Seton, young specimens killed without a fight are palatable, whereas old raccoons caught after a lengthy battle are inedible.[250] Raccoon meat was extensively eaten during the early years of California, where it was sold in the San Francisco market for $1–3 apiece.[251] American slaves occasionally ate raccoon at Christmas, but it was not necessarily a dish of the poor or rural. The first edition of The Joy of Cooking, released in 1931, contained a recipe for preparing raccoon, and US President Calvin Coolidge's pet raccoon Rebecca was originally sent to be served at the White House Thanksgiving Dinner.[252][253][254] Although the idea of eating raccoons seems repulsive to most mainstream consumers since they see them as endearing, cute, and/or varmints, several thousand raccoons are still eaten each year in the United States.[255][256][257][258]

It's real greasy but makes good barbecue when slow roasted and doused with plenty of BBQ sauce. Yum

Yes, and I need to travel back to 1931 where you're apparently still trapped.

I wasn't trapping in 1931 but it's 2015 and people do eat raccoon. I realize
you live a very sheltered life here in Fairfax but you might like to expand
your worldliness a bit. I really get a charge out of urban/suburban hicks.
