Raccoon, the other dark meat

[JoeV]

Squirrel and rabbit were common in my mother's roaster during hunting season. Didn't care for coon after the first time I tried it. Probably poorly prepared. Deep fried Thumper is a real treat in my book, and venison jerky is to die for. My nephew usually gets 4-5 deer each year, and loves his Uncle Joe. BTW, he graduated from Pittsburgh Culinary.
