I was in Nausea county in Florida, and asked an old white guy about eating raccoons and he said hell no, when I catch them I take them to another part of town and sell them. The locals love to BBQ raccoons.

It's gamey. I like it though. something different. I recommend either frying it or cooking it on top of the oven in a skillet then sending it into a crockpot with red potatoes and some greenbeans. Plus, like Burger King, you get a hat with a meal.

Just make sure you're careful in cleaning/cooking it. Most raccoons carry Baylisascaris sp. which can cause death in infected humans. The eggs can withstand temps of 130+ degrees F.

Coon and sweet potatoes is a common East Texas dish.

Cut them up and put them in a bucket with holes in ithe bottom over your chicken pen. Google maggot feeder. The redgoat had a great thread on it in the garden forum.

Good if properly prepared, like possum, if it's where it can eat garbage, you need to live trap and feed vegetables for awhile to clean up the taste. wild killed, be careful about glands in hind legs, like deer, slow smoke or crockpot works well. |

It tastes sort of between a rabbit and a squirrel with lots of meat. Throw a chicken leg quarter or two in with the the coon while it boils and it makes so fantastic dumplings or gumbo.

heres my recipe
kill it skin it slap it in a pan add your favorite seasoning and spices throw it in the oven at 275f for 3 hours take it out and let it cool 10 min then take the pan and walk over to the trash can and dump the carcass into it set the pan on the dinner table, and eat the pan 
same recipe works for cooking coyote

Yep. Tried it bbq'd.
After you clean it you have to take the glands out or it'll taste funky. (Or so I'm told) I still didn't like it. |

If you have a lot of coon in your parts, you should get a trapping license and make some money selling the pelts. Shot pelts will sell, too, but for less money. Coon is not expected to bring good prices this year, but we have our whole lives ahead of us.
If anyone needs more info just pm me. |

One of a very short list of animals I will not eat due to the extremely high risk of parasites. I shoot them on sight for the same reason. Did you know they have an off switch? It's right between the eyes and works quite well when hit with a .22 hornet.

If you cook all animals like it was a piece of beef then you will fail and not like it.

I had it once. Walked into my local hangout bar early one afternoon and the owner was there alone. Hank wasn't poor but he wasn't rich either. I asked him what he was cooking cause it smelled pretty good. He would have a crock pot going in the corner with his supper some days seeing as he lived upstairs. He offered me a sammich on a bun which I thought was beef and gravy. It was damn good. Then he told me it was coon. I wish I knew how he had prepared it because it was great tasting, and although we have beef and venison available there are plenty of coons around too...

http://fuserservices.com/Grand+dad.jpg I believe you very much so. You see the relatives I had in the boot hill of Missouri I ate the coon meal with lived fucking hard. Pumped water by hand on a well pump outside and used an out house,hunted and fished for food and trapped fur bearing animals for money as well as gathered wild Ginseng to make ends meet. Fwiw that hard ass great Uncle of mine earned two Silver Stars on Bougainville Island and the Philippines. Tough hard old guy that fed his family and taught me a good bit. |

Why yes I have. I don't do it very often, but about once or twice a year I Will cook up a coon or two. Here is a recipe for you to try if you decide to cook one.
A lot of folks have said that they have a very gamey taste and are greasy. If not skinned properly they are very gamey. They have several small. kernel shaped scent glands in each arm pit. Some come off with the hide. Others are closer to the meat and will need to be cut out. There are 3-4 glands under each leg. If you get those out the heavy game taste goes away. Their meat is naturally greasy. I usually par boil mine prior to cooking for a few reasons. One, the meat can be tough. Par boiling tenderizes the meat. Two, the longer you boil it, the more grease the meat releases. |

Sure we do. Low boil for a few hours, then put whole coon into a crockpot or pressure cooker with vegetables and potatoes. Save the penis for a toothpick. That's the way we cooked coons. Boil them for a bit, then in the crock pot. Make some good BBQ sammiches. Every good coon hunter has a coon dick toothpick. |
