a raccoon falls victim.....

     Again Billy way to go.  And again way to respect the animal.  As for what Mad Crow, said, Believe it!  Years ago, when I was in the army, my dad took some friends down to our camp in the Big Cypress, and he thought he had enough food.  That is till he saw how two growing teenagers eat.  Well one of my friends hated black eye peas, so after they had eaten up all the chicken, and hamburger, they decided that they would go kill something to eat.  Well they killed a big ol Coon, and brought him back to the cabin, and started to clean and cook it.  Well my dad came back, and asked what smells?  When they told him they were cooking a coon, he asked them if they had removed the glands.  They responded with " What glands? "  Well, not only could they not eat it, the dogs wouldn't even eat it!  They ended up eating Black eyed peas......then remembered the big canal, and caught some fish.
     I have never eaten coon before, but I know some of the people in N.C. will fight you for one.  Some people I have worked with, just love it.  They fry it.  I know I have eaten Armadillo, and it is great.  Nope, doesn't taste like chicken, tastes like pork.  Just par boil it, then batter it and fry it.  Might work with Coon also.  Ask those who do eat it, they can tell better how to prepare, and cook it.  BUT DO BY ALL MEANS, REMOVE THE GLANDS!!!

nice work billy. im sure its been eaten by now but my favorite cooking method for all small game is on a spit over coals. belly up. when the juices in the belly have all but dissapeared its done. like said though glands and fat gotta go. had a buddy cook up a beaver for he had taken. he never removed the glands and you could smell it when he was cookin it. i let him take the first and only bite. :)

Papa Matt:
Any brothers know where these glands are located so I can be sure to cut them out?

jamie:
depends on the critter. some have it in the front legs, some in all the legs. and so on and so on

Papa Matt:
I know they're usually in the legs, but I mean specifically on a coon where are they? When you skin the beast, don't they come off with the skin or you have to cut them off of the meat after you already skin it?
