Default Eating Varmits

I've been wondering if anyone actually eats varmits such as racoons, possums, or coyoties. The next time I get something I'm gonna try to cook and eat it. I've actually found some recipes for coon and possum but haven't tried them yet.

I came really close to eatin the last coyote I shot. I almost made jerky out of it and was gonna do it just to try it. I don't know how it tastes. Opossum seems like it'd be too nasty to me. Coon would be a new one too. Try it and let us know how the stuff tastes.

'If it looks like chicken, and tastes like chicken, by god, just give me chicken. I don't want no -BLEEPING- surprise!"

Sorry, I heard a comedian say that once. I just had to..

Actually coon used to be my favorite dish. My grandmother use to bake it and serve it with sweet potatoes. Man you talk about good eating. When I got older, I lost a taste for it. Probably b/c of the amount I ate when I was a boy. Now Opposum, I never ate but if push came to shove, I'd eat him too..<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

I heard the trick to possum is you can't just kill one and try to eat it. You have to live trap them and &quot;clean them out&quot; for a few weeks by feeding them sweet potatoes, corn, bread, you know, stuff that ain't dead and stinking. The only thing is, every possum I have ever gotten close to already smelled like it had been dead awhile. Too nasty for me to fool with. Then again, ever plucked a chicken? Talk about a nasty critter....
