    You didn't mention nothin' about takin' out the glands under the legs. If these are not removed, you won't be able to eat the meat.
    Two are found in the under arm area of both front legs. It's kind of a "pinkish, flesh colored" gland that will ruin the taste of the meat if not removed.
    Two more are found in the pelvic area of the back legs. These are similar in color, but, are smaller in size, making them harder to find. They, too, must be removed, or the meat will be ruined when cooked.
    And contrary to all the jokes you may hear, coon is very good to eat. I've eaten it all my life, &, I'll have it again tonight.

    I love the little critters, too, but if it comes to one of us dying, sorry critter, I'm living. Thank you for sustaining my life. Thanks for posting, Mr.Peter, food just doesn't come from the freezer of your grocer. Good info.

    hey.. don't ya'll misunderstand.. i LOVE raccoons. i have fed generations of them in my backyard. they have had more of my cooking than most anyother creature on this green earth. they take care of all my mistakes and never complain that it's too bland, spicy, salty, gooey, dry, hard, etc. etc. they are my friends. i have a mama coon that brings her litter by to meet me every spring! i'm not advocating dispatching any of my friends for the pourpose of dining on them... this was just in case you had a fresh raccoon in your frigidare and were wondering what to do with it.

    Ha! NOW I know what to do with those doggone critters that keep the neighborhood trash cans all topsy-turvy. Of course, the only thing my neighbor gets in the raccoon traps are cats and 'possums. And then there are the deer in my garden....aaarrrrrgggghhhh!
