Question about cleaning raccoons

---

I imagine they hate baths worse than cats, and can cause much greater injury if you piss em off like that.

Wait...that's not what you meant, is it?

I remember when u filmed that..
You had just moved into your trailer and had just lost all that weight on Atkins Diet!

We always baked the mature ones with sweet taters and fried the young kittens.

Old guy I use to work with always left the glands in and just ate around them. When you walked in the office you could tell when he had microwaved some leftovers. shite was terrible



Only way I've had coon was barbqed. Was very tasty

Not sure about the glands, but my pow pow barbecues / pressure cooks them every once in a while.

Aside from his crib smelling like complete shite, it doesnt taste far from pulled pork.

A friend and I killed and ate a nutria without dealing with the glands. I had about 3 bites, he had 1.

Talk about taste bad. We grilled it outside on a windy day so we didn't smell that horrible odor.

I whacked a fat sow coon this weekend whilst squirrel hunting. Pops skinned it out for me too cook but I ended up giving it to an old as black man in Fayette MS. I doubt 10k worth of gold bouillon would have made him any happier.

an old guy told me that they used to catch them, pen them up and feed them clean vegetables and water for a week to get the nasty out of them.

As others have said. Armpit regions.

BBQ'd a couple about a month or so ago



Boil the meat hard in a turkey or gumbo pot with crab boil. Prolly need to boil it about an hour to get it tender, depends on the age and size of the coon. This will essentially cook the meat. After that, smother it in jack millers or pig stand BBQ sauce and put it on the pit for a while until the meat is dried out. The key is drying the meat out. Moist coon isn't that great, it needs to be dry to be right. It's delicious if done right.



ETA: These were two 20 lb coons that were caught stealing pecans in my backyard. Did not put them on a special diet before their execution for thievery and they tasted just fine.
