Rabbit foot keychains we're popular for good luck and cutting off a dead crows foot and making it a necklace was to ward off bad spirits. I did this in California when my kid was little and showed him how to cut the foot off, sterilize it and make the necklace. Here's a pic of one
for sale on Etsy, with a real crows foot, so you know it's actually a thing
Where I grew up pretty much every wild animal with four legs had a pelt price, so that's what you thought when you saw a raccoon, fox, beaver, etc.
You can see current pelt prices here.
