Animal stories

Ryan Kennedy, the Hardin County wildlife officer, spoke to about 30 Vancrest residents on Wednesday afternoon during the monthly Coffee with a Cop program that the Ada Police Department sponsors. Here, Kennedy holds a coyote pelt. He also showed many other pelts of wildlife that roam the Ada area. He said his office receives calls about raccoons most often. Raccoon pelts used to bring $50, now it’s down to $5. He related how destructive mink is to chickens; and skunks, you don’t want to tangle with. Muscrats are on the decline here; they are good to eat but I’ve never seen muskrat on the menu in Ada. The next photo is a beaver pelt.
