Is anyone on here selling Raccoon Meat? What is the going price for them?

You serious???

I've eaten raccoon before. If you cook it just right, it tastes exactly like possum.

I'll pass. I never eat anything with hands.

I've tried it......JUST so I could say I did. NO need to do it again!

consume many many beers and it will TASTE LIKE CHIKEN

Taste closer to brisket when slow cooked, its not bad. Not my first pick.

I found it more like pulled pork but know what you sayin

Nope.

Prime rib, filet mignon, and lobster are too cheap for me to eat a dang coon.

South Dallas maybe, you might have to pay them to take it.

A good friend of my wifes wanted a coon so I trapped her one. I would not eat it but she was happy as hell to get it. She was a older lady and grew up dirt poor in Mississippi and said it reminded her of her childhood. I told her spam did the samething for me and I wanted no parts of it either

I've had it. It was pretty darn good. Not greasy.

it's that greasy?

That was my attempt at a joke.

The day I first eat Raccoon will be sometime after the end of the world as we know it..gross..

its funny to hear some say no thanks or its terrible..i think its the stigma and the thought more than anything else......when i worked for the Sheriffs office we had a wildgame supper every year with anything and everything imaginable there and the first thing that we ran out of every year was bbq coon and i'm talking over 150 coons not just a few....eaten by white people....and the funny thing is and its really stupid is most of them didnt want anyone to know they were eating it no matter how much they liked it. smh

You're right. The stigma is just too much for some to overcome. Coon really isn't bad. I haven't eaten it in awhile, but I liked it cooked low and slow in a crockpot with taters and carrots.

I took some squirrel fricassee to work just a few days ago for folks to try. Those that did try it absolutely loved it. Other guys wouldn't touch it, even when they knew it tasted great.

Coon, squirrel, possum, ect were the staples of our American ancestors, especially in Texas and the south. With the Field to Table movement, more folks are embracing their heritage and rediscovering these excellent sources of protein.

Per my grandmother, who was in her 30's during the Depression, coon was normally served with one paw still attached. You wanted your guests to know they weren't eating a dog. It was common courtesy.

Before my mother passed on, she loaned me one of her favorite and most precious books. It was by a local woman that was a teenager during the depression. She and her family lived in a large plantation home, so they were not sharecroppers. She wrote of life in those times, and it was easy to see that those people were hungry. They hunted for meat, which included deer, squirrel, coon, turtles (a favorite), rabbit, duck, geese, dove, quail, and whatever. I don't remember armadillo getting mentioned. There were few, if any, fat people. A compliment from those days was "you are so fat and fine", which was a good thing back then.

As an aside that you might find interesting, she was good friends with General Chennault prior to WWII. He'd fly one of the biplane fighters from Barksdale in Shreveport to her place to visit and hunt. And in her book she said that he'd practice Machine gunnery in the lake behind her house. A great read, that book.

Too much other good stuff to eat to be eating coon. Now if I was starving I'd eat eat no problem same with many critters.

I will eat a coon before I eat a possum. Know plenty of old folks in east Texas who eat coons this very day. Like stated they cook them just like a pot roast including the potato's and carrots. I ate plenty of squirrels when I was a kid. We lived in the city but dad had no problem shooting them on a weekend morning out of pecan tree. We would them with red eye gravy and biscuits. I show miss my old man.

I grew up in far east Texas in the early '40's. The family lived on whatever we could bring home out of the Piney Woods, and that certainly included raccoon. At the time, with no vote in what we had on the dinner table, we all thanked the Lord that we had something to go along with the pinto beans. Over the last 70 years, I have tried raccoon and 'possum cooked up by many of my hunting buddies. I have come to the conclusion that it is an "acquired taste" dinner item and I don't think I have enough time left on this earth to try to acquire such a taste. I've eaten alligator, rattlesnake, and more than a few meadowlarks (poor man's quail), but I think I'm about done with raccoon sampling, thank you very much!

I had a professor in college, German, one class someone mentioned eating possum or armadillo or something, he said matter-of-factly, "I've eaten dog, I've eaten cat. I prefer cat, dog is a little greasy unless it's a little puppy." followed by a description of the famine that racked Europe from 1945 to 1950.
I draw the line at armadillo. No envio armadillo. But stingray wings make great taco meat.
