I've had racoon...it was shredded and soaked in bbq sauce...it was great...not sure if we missed anything because of the sauce.

realy miss those days. good way to stay in shape also. next year i plan to do a lot of things i used to do a lot [trout streams and small game hunting]. good luck.

Exactly what I was thinking! I've been trying to do more outdoor stuff over the past two years and keep in better shape. Paddling, rowing, and hiking have worked great in the warmer months, but I was thinking I wish I'd taken up hunting this year, I think I would be more motivated to get out the snowshoes and tromp around in the woods for hours at a time.

Great stuff guys. I personally really want to try grouse now.

That's the way I had porcupine, the one and only time I had it. It was edible, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again.

I had racoon over an open fire up at the cabin, tasted like [PoorWordUsage].

Chicken

I've eaten anything that either walked or crawled at one point in time. If you go to enough wild game dinner's you'll pretty much run the gambit. I do remember my dad bringing home a skinned beaver when I was young. It was a gift from a native fellow he was doing business with. I remember it tasting alright but my mother still talks about how it stunk up the whole house to this day.

Smoked coon is very tasty. I have eaten many ground rats or squirrels. They are pretty darn good. My mom would fry them up with the chicken.

I only cut off the 4 legs to eat.

skinned beaver..really? hmmm

[Coldwater Crappie Guy]

I am ready to eat some skinned beaver!

[zepman]

I hate it when the skinned beaver stinks up the whole house...been there, done that!

Pigeon is better than dove in my opinion. I'm a big fan of wild game feeds and have tried it all; beaver, gator, carp, fox, you name it...if its been trapped or shot, chances are somebody made meat balls out of it and served it up over the years.
