This is a serious question. I have some land to clear for fruit bushes and fruit trees, and will be milling the larger logs into timbers for other projects. But, I plan to get a chain flail type chipper shredder to to turn all the leftover slash into mulch and compost for the fruit. The land has a lot of raccoons who love to destroy berry bushes. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience putting dead raccoons through a chipper shredder to add nitrogen and minerals to their compost. I'm guessing I'll be making around 4 or 5 tons of mulch and have anywhere from 80 to 120 raccoons to add to it. If anyone has tried putting raccoons or comparable mammals - jackrabbits, beavers, coyotes, etc. - into woodchippers I'd like to hear about your experience.

I'd rather not bury dozens of whole carcasses in my compost pile, and if shredded I assume the raccoon material would compost faster and mix in better. And yes, during fur season I'd save the pelts - unfortunately most of the shooting and trapping would occur during the summer months since that's when they'd be after my berries and plums.
