My grandpaw use to tell me they tasted strong and rich tasting. And he didnt like it but thats all they had. He hated possum. Said it was so greasy that one bite was all he could take. My buddy cooked a dang coyote i brought him. We skinned it and it looked so skinny. The meat was a beautiful red. He cooked it and it stunk the house up so bad he couldnt even taste it. Said it smelled like an old wet dog. He cried about throwin it away cause he was so tight

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.

Sorry for slow response, I seldom check the trapping section here. When my wife cooks coon, she just wraps in bacon and bakes it in the oven by itself then serves with side items cooked separately. She doesn’t add onions, carrots or potatoes. If people could get past the stigma that they are eating something they are unfamiliar with I think most people would enjoy the meat. To me it is much better than squirrel and similar to rabbit

Once I was skinning a coon and I noticed something curved sticking out of its knee, I pulled it out and it was a worm about 6” long and looked like 20lb monofilament. I never wanted to eat one after seeing that.

This is one of those threads you are sorry you clicked on...I don't begrusge anyone for eating them...but I would have to reallly question my dining choices if I sat down to table with coon, possum or yote on it.

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.

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

I believe the glands are actually lymph nodes. They are about the size of a pea and look like fatty lumps. I have seen some larger and some really small and some even come off during skinning at least on the rear. There are a couple you tube videos that show them pretty good.

I hope you're only taking one or two. No one needs more than that.

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.

I brought it to him to see if he was serious. He was serious til the smell hit him. Some of yall need 3rd grade reading lessons. slap

These guys are right about the glands.... Get glands and all fat off... You can also cut it up and and cover it with a 2 liter coke for 24 hours before cooking.... They stink worse during the rut .. Don't fool with them then.

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.
