Anybody eat Racoon? What's the Best way to prepare it and cook it?

we used to take it and boil it and then tear the meat off then crock pot it with potatoes and carrots and celery and a hogie bun with some sauteed onions on top  ;)

A friend of mine smokes them. He has a certain way he cleans them, then he just smokes them like you would a pig.

Me being a coon hunter....I've ate a many of coons...BBQ is the best way for me

X2 on the bbq!

Definitely gonna try sum...

My favorite recipe is to take a coon and a good beef brisket, wrap the coon in foil, throw it in the trash and cook the bisket on the smoker...

Seriously though, I've had it smoked and it was decent.

Muleman, I'm still chuckling,,, hehehe,,, i guess if youre hungry enough, anything tastes better than starvation.

So R they any Good?

I think they can be good. On the old deer lease, if a boy would shoot a coon we'd make them eat at least a thigh. Put the whole coon on aluminum foil, butter onion garlic salt and pepper then diced jalapeños, tie the coon up with bacon and wrap the foil. BBQ pit for an hour.

dam that sounds pretty good...

. 

That sounds good but wish I knew someone that tried it did you eat any of it thAt was cooked

I ate plenty of it. Not bad camp food, just wouldn't be eating it around the house.

There was a carwash in the quarters on the north side of Houston recently that got busted for illegal gambling, marijuana and selling coon meat.

Wow selling coon meat is illegal  :-X

Okay i talked to an old timer and he said that he will only eat them in the middle of winter. With that said, he told me to boil them first and add cayene, blk pepper and salt to the water and boil it till tender. Next if there is alot of excess fat trim that off. Now bbq it or put it in the oven and cook it with ketchup and wochester mixed together.

did he say about how long it should Boil for? And R y'all BBQ'n the whole coon??

Yes boil the coon whole as far as how long bout till it gets pretty tender but not so tender the meat falls off the bone.  Then smoke it more or less bout 300-350 and it will finish it out. Just remember its pretty greasy so U can cook it till it drys out but not crunchy lol ;D. Youll just have to play with it hope it helps

im gonna try it

x2 on smokin it, i smoke the heck out of it to the point where it looks like jerky and its still soft and real good, not chewy at all

I've been quietly standing by and can no longer remain silent.
Thank GOD I ain't never been that hungry! ;D
Got close once but the stank while skinning it was slightly bearable, I couldn't get past the fact it looked like a baby.  :-\
Couldn't make myself cook and eat that nasty little feller.

Those of you with experience, do the sow coons stank less than the boars?
That boar smelled like old rotten cooking grease.

O'Boy rolleyes slim they all taste good  ;D

males stink due to the hormone pockets on its legs thats why  ;)

Yep, you gotta remove them little glands bout the size of a garlic kernel.

I went to the deer lease yesterday and saw 2 or 3 road kill possoms and at least 4 or 5 coons. That rain must of triggered some movement... :-\

Yesterday Morning had a coon in the tree under where my top walker bitch is tied...Thats coon hunting the easy way  ;D

we watched a coon try to sneak around one of my dogs once to get to his food bowl, never made it to the bowl  :P

I just cooked a 1/2 grown one saturday , I just cut him up and added onions and seasoning , let him bake in the oven for 2 hours at 350 degrees , then added some bulls eye bbq sauce and back in the oven for 30 minutes and it was very good and tender .
