Any danger to eat a racoon?
Question:
if you eat too many tou may gain some weight. the secret is to skin properly for eating .not for hide keeping. remove hide and fat right to the meat, trim excess fat any where you find it . young coons can be fried like chicken the meat will be all white .and they are really good pay no attention to all these bad comments .they probably have been influenced by Rocky or bambi or other cuteness put out by the antis and vegans.

Yep, I know what you say is true. Still, unless I’ve eaten a ‘coon unsuspectingly at a chinese joint I’d never *knowingly* eat it. For all the shit pigs and chickens it their flesh sure does taste good to me. I ate bear once and it was pretty nasty. Not so much the flavor as the awful, stringy texture. It’s the filet-type meat, skinless, gristle-less and boneless that I like the most. That’s why I personally much prefer chicken nuggets to, say, a drumstick or wing.

hahaha no ass chewing from me, thing is, back when I did hunt, we were lucky to see any large game,so small game became camp meat and we tried different recipe’s before getting one that was palatable. the recipe also works well on wild turkey. btw i’ve never seen a KFC out in the middle of the woods (grin) > Any yummy recipes for sewer rats y’all wanna share? LOL would you believe that the guy that told my cousin about eating coon & armadillo also meantioned eating rats?? seems that when he was growing up there was no money & they lived out in the middle of nowhere and had to eat whatever they could. (even tho I’m not sure I could stomach this) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year (wish I was in the woods again) Alan Tew Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

Don, It has been my experience in 56 years of hunting to pay attention to the innards when cleaning any animal or bird. Watch for parasites, tumors etc.. and especially look at the liver and make sure it is of uniform red color and not shades of gray. Snowgoose Joe – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ——Original Message—– Hi there! Just killed a racoon that appears in good health. Any concern (virus, rabies etc) that I should not eat it? TIA Don.

I’m surprised you left out the having the Chittin’s with Greens. That’s the trippes (intestines) for all the Yankees. I have had that in East Texas and it’s not bad with a batch of cornbread and red beans. Not my provider
