My 16-year old niece came in with a very young coon over the weekend. She skinned and dressed it and gave it to me to cook. I rubbed it with salt, pepper, and Tone's Rosemary Garlic, and put it into a small, granite roaster pan. It was not very big, so I made dressing by sauteing a shallot, a stick of deer sausage, and toasted bread. I put in an egg and a dash of dark beer for moisture, filled the cavity, and trussed the legs together to hold it all in. Then I surrounded it with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and stuck it in a 375 degree oven with the lid on for almost an hour. I took the lid off for another ten minutes or so, and served it. There were no leftovers.
