I have eaten raccoon, years ago when I lived up North, there was a tavern that had a "coon" feed every fall. I don't know how they prepared it, but it was really good. Tasted a lot like pork, but not as greasy. I remember them saying that one had to trim all of the fat from it. Anyone ever eaten porcupine? I have, and now that is nasty! More like chewing on a block of wood bark. Never tried possom, don't think I want to either. Used to eat gray squirl, rough grouse, woodcock, and most of the wild game available in the woods. Dad was a good hunter, and money was scarce, we often lived off the land. Often if we didn't have wild game, there would be no meat on the table. Funny how things have changed.
