They are good to eat, especially the young ones. There are a number of groups around here, that trap them. Although the primary reason, is not to eat, the meat does not go to waste as it is donated, to conservation groups and churches that hold yearly, wild game feeds. ....Always wondered do they make it to the table or hunted/trapped for skins only? I cant see raccoon as being a very good taste.
Thats the only way i've had it....Not bad....The young ones are tasty. Especially when barbequed.
Yes, I'd stick to Sushi, hamburger from China and Catfish from Vietnam. We all have choices. My wife makes the best Venison meatloaf that I have ever tasted and she won't eat any of it. ....With the number of exotic worms and parasites showing up in omnivorous wild animals lately, I'll pass on eating any of those. I've eaten coon in the far distant past and beaver once upon a time but no more.
