If you grew up in southwest La. or Southest Tx. and are of Cajun decent, like me, eating racoon is nothing new. My Grandmother cooked them whenever she could get one. Pretty good in a brown gravy, served over rice. Younger ones are better, the bigger ones tend to be greasy.

You ******* ... !!! Nice to know I've got "kin" on the board ... racoon, nutria, and squirrel made up a lot of our camp cooked food at Holly Beach when I was growing up a tried and true duck hunter.
Trap 'em, feed 'em corn, and fry 'em good ... gravy, brown rice and greens ... top that Babby Flay ... !
Yeah and you can cut off the penile bone, cut off the tip and whittle it down to make a Tennessee Toothpik; lasts a lifetime. Use to sell them to my high school buddies back in the 60's for 50 cents. Great conversation piece to break the ice at a party. Wear one around your neck on a piece of string, I guarrentee the girls will pick it up and ask what kind of chicken bone is that and when you tell 'em it's a **** dick, they'll scream and run like hell. Used to do that also in high school and collage. FUNNY!
I've et **** before too. Not too bad, need to be cleaned really well, and I'd make sure and pull the lymph glands out, no fat etc. Like I say, clean it up, and cook it slow and its pretty good cuttin.
Twenty plus years ago I was working as an Animal Control Officer in a Dallas suburb and I went out on a complaint of a fellow keeping a raccoon as a pet in a cage behind his house in violation of the city ordinance. I made contact with the gentleman (that I quickly discovered was a son of Acadia) and informed him that the city ordinance didn't permit him to keep a raccoon as a pet. He advised me that the animal was not a pet but that it was in fact his Thanksgiving dinner. I told him that Thanksgiving was the following week and that he needed to go ahead and butcher the animal so the complaints would stop.
He told me something then I've never forgotten:
"But sir," he says in all earnestness, "frozen is not as good as fresh".
I have one of them "toothpicks" real nice one I made myself from road kill ****......
had it proudly hanging on my rear view mirror................. then my daughter (10 years old) continued to ask about it, I finally had to take it down, I was'nt gonna tell her what it really was.
Back in high school my brother trapped ***** to sell hides, the Russans were buying all they could. He sold the **** meat across the tracks. Folks would flag him down to try and buy them. Once he told someone all he caught that day was possums. They chewed him out, told him to bring the possums because the possums were much better than the ****. You ever see a possum up close? A big slimey mangy rat!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I rate them below armadillos and definitely above possums. Dillo meat is sort of like pork and possum is too much like bear-too greasy.
A few months back I told a cousin of mine in Mamou La. that I took out a couple ***** trying to get in my chicken coop. She asked what I did with them and I told her I 'buried them at sea'. Boy, did she get upset with me. She said freeze them next time for her. Not likely.
