(WXYZ) - An elderly Detroit man is making a name for himself selling meat. Not the typical meat you find in the grocery store, but a specialty item.

His signs can be spotted along roadways in Detroit. They read: "Pure Mi. Fresh Coons. 834-8617." The man behind the signs is Glemie Dean Beasley. He has two passions in life: Blues music and hunting.

"I've been hunting over 40 years," said Beasley.

Beasley came to Detroit in 1958 from a small town in Arkansas. That's where he first learned to hunt. Now he does it to help make ends meet.

"Business is not bad," said the elderly man.

He runs his raccoon selling operation out of his Detroit home on the city's west side. He keeps his dogs in the backyard, and a freezer full of raccoon meat in a shed. The meat and the fur are equally valuable to Beasley. He skins the animals for their fur so it can be used to make coats. Beasley says he has customers as far away as California. He sells his raccoon meat for 15-20 dollars per animal.

Hunting is illegal within city limits. Beasley says he hunts his raccoons on a farm in the Jackson area.

If someone else (who knew WTF they were doing) prepared it, sure.

There was an article in the Detroit Free Press a few years back about a guy in Detroit who sells raccoon meat.

They couldn't get him to admit he was hunting them in the city (which would be illegal) but the implication was clear...
