What is the raccoon dressed in? A pink dress?

How does raccoon taste? (I know - "like chicken.") Is it greasy or gamey?

I don't know if they would be to bad...They wash every thing and really don't eat any thing bad....HHHMMMMmmmmm

That sounds pretty good Doris.Racoons are always next to the road squished around here so maybe I'll start carrying a shovel in the truck with me

 

[Elkhunter]

It would be worth a try? Why Not?

For those of you contemplating Raccoon I can tell you i have had it prepared similar to the above recipe. I recal it tasted like dark meat turkey.

BUT you should remove as much fat as possible before coking.

It really is good meat.

How about opossum? My dad told me they used to catch them by their tails and put them in a cage and fatten them up on potaoes and such, then they were good.

Roadkills probably cook up best, they already got the grease and other chit mashed out of 'em. Bob [a southern boy, but still don't eat coons and possums!!]
