I live for the CABE
Go get em! I have an old friend who's done Mountain Man Rendezvous for 50 years. His Tepee and gear is all tanned by him, plenty of roadkill contributed their furs as well as animals he took with black powder.
For years at the transfer station in San Francisco a pest control company use to bring in a van with 20-30 garbage bags of frozen Raccoons, Possums, Skunks , etc and we always had to explain to them that they could not be disposed of as household garbage. Every once in while they snuck a bag through and when it his the Construction Demolition sort line and ran over the trammel the Skunk carcasses would release their perfume and shut everything down until we could clean them up and get the fire hoses out to clean it all down. 40-50 workers idle for sometimes a couple hours. Worse than some of the hazardous materials we got. At least you can use absorbent on solvents and the like.
All incorporated cities in California—such as Alameda, Oakland, and Los Angeles—allow the possession of legally acquired raccoon tails. Because state regulations define these as products of fur bearing mammals, possession is generally lawful across the state as long as the animal was legally obtained (e.g., via a licensed fur trapper or established out-of-state trade). [1, 2]

State Possession Laws
- Legal: Possessing tanned hides, tails, and handicraft items made from legally acquired furbearing mammals is permitted. [1]
- Prohibited Acts: State law strictly prohibits the commercial sale and purchase of raw furs taken under depredation permits (such as nuisance animals removed by pest control). Additionally, live raccoons are classified as restricted species and cannot be kept as pets anywhere in California without a specialized, non-pet permit. [1, 2, 3]
- Commercial Restrictions: You are generally prohibited from importing, possessing with intent to sell, or selling the parts of certain globally protected species, but raccoons do not fall under this strictly protected category. [1, 2, 3]
