I grew up coon hunting and have had this exact meal many times! Thanks for sharing this video, I'm sure lots of people had no idea they could eat a coon. Kids are spoiled today, they turn their noses up to anything not fast food. We didn't have fast food as a kid, we hunted and raised our food, any dinner out was indeed a special occasion. Thanks for sharing!
Man my dad was a butcher , I learned at an early age how our meat is prepared and I'm an inner city boy lol , we fished and cleaned the fish in the backyard , the whole dam Hood would be watching lol , you have inspired me to show these young ones something different than these streets , thank you !!!
Thanks for sharing this. I am a city slicker and rely on grocery stores to provide me with my food.. It's good to know there are still some people living and surviving the way we were meant to. I'll be awaiting an invitation to your next BBQ :)
...........Good use of a free and natural resource........more of us need to follow your example. I have raccoons in my back yard under the flood lights most every night............Thanks for showing me how to best use some free groceries.............
Thanks for the video! This really brings back memories! My father used to go hunting in the mornings before he went to work and had my mother whatever he got, and she would clean it. My job was to hold the feet while she cleaned it. She used to cut the raccoons into pieces, flour and fry them like chicken. Good stuff! Thanks for the memories.
As a strict vegetarian of over 25 years............ aw fuck it.. anyone that can kill, skin, gut and cook a raccoon, deserves meat for breakfast. Subbed and +1
When I was a kid in school, my brother and I use to catch Racoons on weekends for extra money and food. Back before 1980 you could easy get $20.00 for a Coon Hide. sometimes we ate the meat when we had too, but most of the time we sold it.
thanks for sharing your knowledge of how to do a snapping turtle. Lanette Abell and my sister Anita Abell will be enjoying ours that our brother and my husband caught. we love country eating in southern Indiana.
Ohhhh man that's some good eating right there bro, you did a fantastic job on that coon, looks delicious, we have all rights to consume animals and to be as self sufficient as possible, i love a catch, clean, and cook, we never have to buy that crappy meat from the grocery store if we all raised and grew our own food, now that's living
Great video! It took a lot of courage to do this one seeing that most people will turn their nose up at it and judge. I for one love coon meat and will eat it any time opportunity allows. Last year 2 of them helped themselves to my corn plants and destroyed my small crop. They also helped themselves to a couple of my chickens. I set live traps and caught both of the little buggers and they became dinner for 9. I think it tastes like dark meat chicken and I love it. I did mine a little different though. I cut it up soaked it in salt water then I boiled it for about 20 minutes or so then breaded and finished it in the frying pan. So tasty.
+Paula Mitchell sounds cool. im 16 and really want to start trying animals that people normally wouldn't eat like coon, porkupine, crow and coyote but theres no way my parents would let me. Also I've shot a coon once and it smelt so bad, idk if there all like that but it kinda turns me off. I shot one last year but didn't get to close to it so im not sure if it smelt or not
put it in a pot of water with your favorite seasons and boil it until it gets tender. take it out and put it in a covered pan with your favorite BBQ sauce and bake it, it is very good.
I LOVE Coon but never cooked it. People just don't know how GOOD Conn is. They look at you funny and say that's a rat. Well, it's a Good one. After seeing how you cooked it, I tried it and could not get enough..The meat so tender a sweet. Just can't find anyone in this area to catch them. Man Oh Man I LOVE COON...Than you for that recipe it was delicious. I thank I'm addicted. Thanks and God Bless...
Awesome channel not scared got another sub thanks for the easy steps so easy and awesome just saw one around my area looked like 30 pounds very huge well I needa cook
Ymmmm....coon for supper! First time i heard of this, my mom got to tellin' me back in my teens what life was like on the farm(bay city, tx.), most fruits, veggies, livestock and wild game complemented what wasn't available like flour, sugar, coffee, etc. and amongst the wild game she prepared was 'possum, bullfrog legs, wild ducks and catfish, them big channel cats, but never mentioned anything about coons or as we know 'em over here, mapaches. thumbs up jnull0 and thankin' Mrs. V for sharin' on G+!! =)
Don't forget the musk glands near the butt an in between the muscles in his legs. You don't wanna cook itvwith them still attached. You thought the fat was poop, shoot thats a bad day right there haha. I love your dang videos, keep the way of life alive and the videos comin'!
you know i love what the good lord provides, and as growing up with the elders in the back woods, i have grown to realize many things, as i was told, always bless your catch after you shoot it, and before its cleaned. but everything from rabbit, opossum, squirrel, snake, turtle, deer, pheasant, duck, goose, fish, wild hog, its provided on earth as edible....... just finding and learning the old method as i call it, is a lot safer than the new. but you just made it a lot easier for me and thank you much now i can put coon on my plate and enjoy another new food cant wait ............. thanks again
John , since raccoons are always trying to kill and eat my chickens , I have no problem trapping and killing them . I do sell the skins , I boil them , mix the meat with rice and gravy , and my dogs love it . Same with turtles , I don't eat them , but my dogs and cats love the meat .
Great video man. I hear you on not letting a free meal get away! I grew up farming and if we wanted something besides beans and cornbread we had to go find it.
Thank you so much John, Raccoon is the only animal I had never seen skinned and prepared before, so this is great inforamtion for me. I have never seen how to cook one either, so this is wonderful.
I've watched my dad(black guy) and my grampa(Puerto rican guy) both clean/skin a raccoon and cook them. I was only 7-8 years old when that happened though, so it's good to see what I don't remember. It's really cool stuff.
Keep up the videos I’m from Kansas myself then I joined the army and moved to Washington it sucks living in the barracks I have to keep my guns at a buddy’s house off post I used to do a lot of hunting in the flint hills over by peadmont and Eureka
Lmatfooooo about how he looks coming out of the oven looks very delicious can't wait to get mine I'm with you 100% I love raccoon meat alligator deer squirrel rabbit Pig chicken All! Seafood ducks Birds a few earthworms from time to time thanks for the videos you have some of us that appreciate your time and energy to make these videos again I say thank you
They do, but in the winter when it is very cold, the sick animals will usually die from the cold. I also check the liver, heart, and lungs for spots that would indicate sickness. As for the hide, a night outside below freezing will take care of any fleas or mites on the hide. Thanks for watching, J
If you know how to process and prepare it and have a place to get it there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with getting food from the land. That's how everyone used to do it. Now a days people are spoiled and cant fend for themselves. I say do what you want and live how you want. We who do that are not hurting anyone AND providing for our family. I see nothing wrong with that ! Buzz on jnull !
i hope you got kids to teach this stuff to. this seems to be crucial information. i wish i learned when i was young, i probably would appreciate food, and eating more.
@jnull0 you have some awesome videos i find very useful. I went squirrel hunting this morning and came back with a coon instead. (Both in season) Im also going to preserve it's hide im thinking about an alum pickle. Anyway thanks alot for posting all these different animals it helps me out a lot since my father usually only went after deer and never would think of eating coon. Lol. I say if you kill it you better eat it if its big enough and i also try and preserve the skins. Thanks alot your videos are of much help! Keep them comming. Happy Hunting!!
TJ Jones haha same thing happened to me went with a 12 gauge and me and my father tap on trees if there is a nest and if we see something move we shoot it which is perfectly leagle in south carolina and I see a 25 pound raccoon fall out of a squirrel nest got it on my gopro too
@departmentofnatural hahaha dang right. My neighbor side she feeds them with the wild cats....i was thinking great put simething that may have rabies with something that a young kid would try to go to and pet....good idea. At least it increases my odds. Lol. Btw i did a brain tan instead and made a coon skin cap. Glad it was a big coon needed a lot of fabric for my big head. Lol
Don't let them talk trash about the way you live Brother. I'm learning good stuff from you so keep up the good work.
I grew up coon hunting and have had this exact meal many times! Thanks for sharing this video, I'm sure lots of people had no idea they could eat a coon.

Most people who say hunting and killing animals is wrong actually eat animals that they buy from the stores.
too cowardly to participate in the killing themselves but want to judge others who actually kill the animals. Phony people
True
What if they vegan
We just take life as it comes, one day at a time. Thank you for asking,
J
We need more people like you on UA-cam , thank you
...........Good use of a free and natural resource........more of us need to follow your example. I have raccoons in my back yard under the flood lights most every night............Thanks for showing me how to best use some free groceries.............
Like he says, you gotta get a free meal when you can get it. Not everyone goes to the supermarket to buy meat. I would try it.
the raccoons ate my chickens now we are eating the raccoons, Texas
SAME! Exept, in my case it was possums.... XD.... there were good tho
I only eat to survive
marwan wan
Why are we disgusting?
All animals even deer and horses will eat meat if it's available
marwan wan Plant lives matter! Think of how many plant lives you've taken every time you eat a salad. You are by far a surpass plant killer!
Amen to that, I am from Dallas and I still shoot the mother fuckers. I eat it though.
Thanks for the video! This really brings back memories! My father used to go hunting in the mornings before he went to work and had my mother whatever he got, and she would clean it.

Great video John....Thanks one more time....Take care by brother and God Bless...
I love the future. you can search for anything and there is a detailed video on it. like "how to cook a raccoon" lol
FrogLungs you know how to time travel ?

@@lj5777: Obviously, recognizing sarcasm isn't one of your strong points.

It kinda tastes like a very dark poultry meat, I think. Thanks for watching,
J

Thanks for sharing, I've always shied away from raccoon as a food source but this video makes me think of putting raccoon on the menu again.

Thank you so much John, Raccoon is the only animal I had never seen skinned and prepared before, so this is great inforamtion for me. I have never seen how to cook one either, so this is wonderful.
I've watched my dad(black guy) and my grampa(Puerto rican guy) both clean/skin a raccoon and cook them. I was only 7-8 years old when that happened though, so it's good to see what I don't remember. It's really cool stuff.

Glad you said that about fat. I left 30 percent or so of its winter fat supply on it time to remove that!
TJ Jones haha same thing happened to me went with a 12 gauge and me and my father tap on trees if there is a nest and if we see something move we shoot it which is perfectly leagle in south carolina and I see a 25 pound raccoon fall out of a squirrel nest got it on my gopro too

I have been wanting to know this. Thank you
Food is good
Great video brother
Lots of great info
Bet that tasted good as hell
Cheers
enjoyed this video.
I like it, and they are plentiful around here,
J
That raccoon had a far better life, less environmental impact and most likely, a more humane dispatch than the industrial meat most of us eat.
Thanks man for uploading this video and the info on the fat cause it is nasty but that cat prolly loved it.....
That looks yummy
