Since the pelt market isn't making you rich...maybe finding a Grocery Store that wants to sell them would be more profitable...LOL...

100% legal
The lady needs to take a long walk on a short pier.
I guess if it does not look like a mcdonald burger or chicken nugget it is not food.
"It's so real" "it's so fresh "
Well isn't that the point of meat? I would dedicated where she thinks beef comes from?
I wish I had a market for coon meat , I'm able to sell a limited amount of muskrat and beaver some years but our coon meat market has been gone for a long time , used to have a connection to sell them but border crossing issues stopped that , Detroit was a big market for raccoon meat , the south has a large coon meat market , I have trapping friends in the southern states that make far more from their meat then the fur
Some people just have to learn to "get a life" next thing she'll be complaining about is "rabbits being sold for food " in some supermarkets .
Doesn't supermarket meat come from Heaven wrapped in plastic on a styrofoam tray?Quote:

Have you guys walked thru one of those T&T Chinese grocery markets....some of the stuff they eat is not for the faint of heart. If you cannot comprehend and accept what other nationalities eat, you need to stay in the Loblaws. :)
Pssst.....Loblaws owns T&T supermarkets!Quote:

What does it compare to, taste texture wise? Does it depend on what it eats?

I can't eat it , the distinct odour of skinned coons drives me away , I'm sure if I was starving I could but as long as there is better stuff out there I'm eating that lol
Lynx is better .
I'm with Matt on this one. The thought of eating a coon makes me want to gag. I always say "that I'm not going to eat anything that has an a-hole on it that's bigger than mine! "The stink is nasty - usually covered in piss, with poop crusted -up around their ring. Stinks like human crap. Not high on my list.
I don't think that the part you are supposed to eat?!!!?? lol!Quote:

Was that 54$ US for a coon? If its legal to sell in the supermarkets I think we may just have a solution to the raccoon invasion on the city.
Poor puppy!Quote:

Too red of a meat and strong to be very tasty on it's own.
Not bad flavor-wise if BBQd with sauce, but still tough.
Never has been hard to sell the meat in the States.
Almost sounds like goose, no offense to those that can cook it.Quote:

When I watch Yukon Men on TV I see were they eat just about anything too - they don't waste anything -
When I lived down in the GTA I used to cook the odd one on the BBQ. If you cut them up first and cover them with sauce they can be passed off as groundhog or chicken unless your kids are already suspicious...
The ones I got were from surrounding farm area, not subdivision dump critters.:ashamed:
My husband came from a rich , medical family. I came from the other side of the tracks. My family survived on what Dad hunted and killed for dinner. One day I invited my husband-to-be to come for dinner.
After dinner , he said, " That was great ! What was that ?" I told him it was coon and watched his face go green . LOL (He still married me. )
Eating raccoons? no different than cotton tailed rabbit or jack rabbit , groundhog, beaver, squirrel, barn pigeons, it is all in the mind, some people even turn up their noses at some species of fish, or even organ meats from domestic animals.
Went on a moose hunt with a farm family group from the Ottawa Valley many years ago. The night of the kill we had fresh liver, except for Walters family...."you don't eat innards!"

Its quite amazing really.... I mean you dont get to be the largest population in the world without eating right? Lol, to each his own.
According to 'The Regs', wild game meat cannot be sold. You can give it away for $0. We used to provide muskrat saddles to a local Lions Club Marsh Hare Banquet, and got a good price for our large hind quarters. The MNR stepped in, and now we have to donate the meat to the Lions.
My dad always sold coon to an Afro-American from Buffalo. He loved the flavour of coon. I sold him the catfish I caught. You can't do that now.
I used to work with a Philapino, and he said the used to catch wild dogs in the Phillipines. With the right spices any meat tastes good, he said.
Or wrap it in bacon :)Quote:

Not predominantly Muslim, the dominant Religion there is Roman Catholic.
Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion and the largest Christian denomination, with estimates of approximately 80% of the population belonging to this faith in the Philippines
