Hi Leo, Never thought of ever eating them but I have read that they make a rather greasy meat for those that do eat them. I had a great uncle in WV who I remember hunting and cleaning a squirrel when I was a little kid. He's long gone of course but I wouldn't doubt that he might have known a thing or two about raccoon meat. Aside from the fact I would admittedly be a total wuss trying to kill then cut up an animal to eat it, the trichinosis part and roundworm issues don't tend to stimulate my appetite. Learn something new each day.....Thanks, Ernie -----Original Message----- From: oooOIOooo via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> To: pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: oooOIOooo <oooOIOooo@protonmail.ch> Sent: Sat, Jun 27, 2020 7:36 pm Subject: Re: [pbs] Raccoons When I was in my teens my father trapped a large raccoon (note the spelling) or Procyon lotor. He cooked it. It tasted exactly like roast beef. You need to be careful about cooking because many have trichinosis. Leo Martin Phoenix Arizona USA Zone 9?
