I cook it like I do anything else and how ever you want to try it. Just
make sure you get every bit of fat off you can before you cook it.

Best way I have found I take mine to a place I eat every Thursday and let him cook them for me. I Like it fried best but bbqed is good and pot roast with taters and carrots is also very good

this my own opinion but a smaller coon to me is better than a big coon but i like mine fried up to

coon hash is the best thats the only way ill eat coon. coon plain is nasty

Here's another recipe from cooks.com ...

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

1 coon
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cloves minced garlic
1 c. chopped celery
1 chopped green pepper
6 med. sweet potatoes
Vinegar
Water to cover
1 lg. chopped onion
Shortening
Flour

Dress the meat. Soak for 1 hour in mild vinegar and water solution to remove the (gamey) taste: drain. Cut the meat in serving pieces like you would a chicken, salt and pepper the meat cover with water. Add the seasoning and boil until partially tender. Remove from the heat and drain. Brown the meat in a small amount of shortening then place in a roasting pan. Make a thin brown gravy with flour and meat drippings; pour over the meat. Place peeled sweet potatoes around meat and bake at 350 degrees until the potatoes are done.

After ya boil it and the meat is fallin off anybody try grillin it??

After the recent e-coli, and salmonela(?) scares recently coon don't sound to bad. think I'll wait till cooler wheather though. Always been leary of wild game in summer. And it is illegal to kill'em now, here anyway. Any one ever grind'em for burger or sausage? want any recipes available, please. had it bbq when I was a kid. Don't think it was to bad.
