Von actually makes part of his living as a professional trapper. He and other trappers sell the furs of foxes, racoons, coyotes, skunks and possums etc.
As far as racoons are concerned, I've been with Von when I've seen lots of damage that they've done in cornfields.
Von is currently working all hours checking his trapline, skinning his catch, fleshing it, cleaning it and then drying it on boards ready for the fur sales.
