eat beaver ...
Why ,they have hands ,LOL
Most definitely. I do a good bit of “catch-n-cook” in the woods during cooler weather. A young raccoon with Saza seasoning mix smoked over an oak fire is mighty fine dining! Just make sure to get the glands out of it or ya may as well eat what comes out the end of that raccoon. d;^)
I have eaten Raccoon a couple of times at a local gun club fund raiser.
It is good barbecued .
My grandfather made a lot of money with cook
Skin pelts in the 40’s.
My grandmother was known through out the county as making the best BBQ raccoon.
I have to ask...
Did it taste like chicken?
Rural people in Mexico eat mice. They hunt them at night when thousands of the critters are active. Black flies steamed in banana leaves are popular in a third world country, but I don’t remember which one. Saw both on PBS program years ago.
>> ...Do I want to be the guy living in a basement apartment, killing and eating raccoons? Since my roommate and I had already become the guys living in a basement trapping and eating raccoons...
ROFL! Aside from the culinary intrigue, this is interesting and funny story telling. Thank you!
Tastes like wild hickory nuts.
When I was a teenager living in Mississippi, I ate raccoon. Delicious. Turtle legs are very tasty too.
I heard a story years ago about some guy in SE Michigan who would trap raccoons all week and marinate them in his special secret marinade, and then early on Saturday mornings he’d take them to some grocery store in town and sell them in the parking lot.
When he got to the grocery store, there were always people lined-up waiting to buy them.
Raccoon meat tastes a bit like pork. Tree pigs they are!
A general rule: If an animal eats what humans eat, you can eat them. Exceptions such as ruffled grouse exist.
There weren’t a lot of deer, raccoon, possum, squirrels, etc after the 30’s. People were hungry.
I used to run a trapline and caught many racoons. They taste best when made in the smoker with apple wood. Muskrat are not bad either. All dark meat. Ate groundhog too, but never skunk.
I was working at a job and several of the black employee’s offered me some barbecued Racoon and I tried it. They were all giggling because some white boy was going to try Racoon. It was good; I would try it again.
You can eat ANYTHING as long as you have plenty of this:
I prefer Texas Pete or Tabasco, but then I'm a traditionalist.
Especially if they are rabid. Inspect their brains BEFORE roasting. (Don’t eat the brains).
The more tender they are, the more days they spend on the highway. (No need to cook in warmer climates. (Between sunup and sundown only)
