that's only 2 steps above buzzard. I do remember a friend selling one to somebody in high school though. they seemed happy to get it..... I wouldn't describe them as high class dining types though.

I've had it cooked several ways. Baked is the most common way it's cooked but I didn't care for it. I've had it made into hash once and it was great but couldn't duplicate it, we tried and the more you'd chew on it the tougher it got.
But yes, there are plenty of people that love eating them. I sale them for $10 each cleaned and can't catch enough to keep up with the demand for them. I have one guy with a standing order for 40 each season!

Had it once at a wild game banquet. It was edible, maybe a 4 on the palatability scale, but it beat the possum by a long shot.

Years ago I trapped a little on the side. I grilled a couple of young coons one night, the best I remember it wasn't bad. I haven't had it since but I would without hesitation if things got bad.

RiverWood, what's the time and temp on baking? Do you add anything else with it like onions, potatoes and carrots?

Used to eat them pretty regular growing up. My mother usually put them in a pressure cooker for a bit then finished them off in the oven. I worked south Ga. years ago and frequented a bar that would occasionally serve bbq coon on the weekends.

My Granny grew up in the Depression era and I remember her talking about her daddy eating possum. “Granny, did you ever eat possum,” I asked. “No, but I’ve eat the taters around one,” she said. Ol boy near here grew up pretty hard over in Mississippi. My daddy grew up pretty hard in Virginia. Mississippi told my dad “Don, I have eat baked coon before.”

If I remember correctly there are some glands that need to be removed on a coon in order to make it good for the table! This is the most important part. I've never eat one, but I have watches several video's on the subject and all say removing those glands are key for the meat to taste good. One friend, just does the tenderloins.

What do the glands look like and how big are they? Easily noticeable?

All we eat is coon meat. We stopped buying beef at the grocery store years ago. I hope you're only taking one or two. No one needs more than that.

got to get those glands out. then season him up put in crock pot slow cook him with some onions cut around him, after about 3 hrs put a bottle of your favorite bbq sauce on him. Cook on low for 8 hours, meat will fall off the bone, put on a toasted bun and you will tap your foot while eating it. If I have to do that much to make it edible then it wasn't fit to eat to begin with.

I've had it baked a few times. It's not bad at all.

Growing up a barefooted poacher in South Alabama, I choose Woodpecker over Coon every time. I did find a constant market for coons I trapped or shot though as long as I left a foot on.
