There is some suggestions there and a link. For me eating racoon is right up there with coyote. But to each there own!

Not sure if I could eat coon or not.
Can't rightly think of anyone I know who does either.

I've eaten plenty of muskrats, that's for sure and really enjoy them.

Don't think I have been hungry enough to attempt a possum either. Got close enough to smell one once and that was enough!!

I will eat anything once and then I will say yes or no.

I have never had coon but I would in a second. I will try anything new and so far I havent hated any meat or vegetable yet. Black licorice is disgusting though.

My Grand Father and Dad got this started many years ago. First one was in my grand Fathers Basement.

Google ; Danville Ohio Lions Club Raccoon Dinner. Many members of my family are still very much involved with helping each year.

Clean the raccoon and cut it up lick you would a rabbit or squirrel. Roll in flour and brown with butter season with salt and pepper put in roaster with onion and a little water cook till done. I've eaten a better but is not that bad.

I roasted a coon 30 plus years ago. I remember it being very greasy and tasting similar to a pork roast. If I was down on my luck and in need of food, I wouldn't hesitate to cook another. It is probably best to stay away from urban garbage eating coons.

I'd give it a try. Heck I'd try anything once. You never know till you try it. Let us know how it turns out.

And I still haven't tried eating one.
Caught an older one opening morning and the hide was "blue", so I pulled the traps to wait for them to prime up. Figured a young one wold be better table fare and I'd get one later. As usual I got sidetracked and never got back to trapping this season.

Had one like this in mind.

as someone who enjoys the outdoors I to have thought of eating 'coon, beaver and muskrats. A local fellow has told me he has eaten 'coon in the past and it is one of his favorite meals. He said the trick is to eat young 1-2 years of age. After that they are greasy and tend to be tough.

When i did coon hunt we dipped them in egg then flour and deep fryed them but a few years ago i made friends with some coons and thay let me feed them by hand then let me pet them even a old one i called granpaw would sit on my lap and sleep folks said i was nuts for trusting wild coons.
