My favorite soup was something my grandmother called risotto. Cut up gizzards, hearts, onion and garlic sautéed then par boiled then added to chicken stock with a little tomato paste and simmered until the gizzards were tender. Almost thick as gumbo and topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Mom made it too but w/o tomato paste. Too bad the wife is opposed to organ meat.
I’ve had well prepared coon a few times. Don’t think I’d go through the trouble myself unless I was really desperate.
My buddy had coon dogs and we had lots of coons around. I believe most were subsisting on our garden crops. Nothing like knowing your corn would be ripe tomorrow, then finding every stalk broken and each ear sampled to make you a confirmed coon hunter.
You know? I'm sure it's delicious, but I think I will just stick with pork and beef.
Not so much into gizzards and hearts either, but I do love Spam.
again I'm no expert but its all about what the critters been eating and how its cleaned and prepared.
had bad experience just this week with home prepared meat. a friend gave me about 10 pounds of whole hog sausage. its so disgusting even the dog won't eat it.
When properly prepared BBQ coon is a fine meal.
We only cook young ones.
My Dad was a furbuyer for several years and had a buyer from either K.C. or ST. Louis that would purchase all the coon carcasses he could get.
My Dad only kept carcasses from coons that he knew had been trapped or shot the night before. Anything suspect got tossed onto a pile on a trailer outside to be hauled off. He told me that one time there hadn't been much activity so they didn't have but just a few in the freezer for the guy so after he had paid and loaded up his coons my Dad's partner looked out the door a few minutes later and the guy was going through the pile on the trailer digging out the coons from among all of the foxes, coyotes, possums, mink etc. Sometimes that trailer didn't get dumped for 2-3 weeks or even longer if the weather was cold.
An active duty army Captain I met had been raised in Alabama, and stated flatly that coon is really good.
I have never tried coon, but had several jack rabbits, regular bunnies, and once, rattlesnake. Snake was good, by the way.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger - or else it gives you a bad rash.

Young small coon great!!!!!!!!!! Big coon I skin and use for coyote bait.
I've had coon twice and it was fine. Once cooked in wine and once in chili.
With the way meat prices are going I might cook some this fall.
Love pickled turkey gizzard with Tabasco.
We always made BBQ pot roast with potatoes and carrots with BBQ sauce with coon growing up and it was delicious
Naugas are closely related to pleathers. Around here we have a plethora of pleathers. Hides are usually multi stained and smell like beer and cheetos
