LOL...you look at the feet of the "coon". When the fur is removed they tend to look like a dog. And, NO I have NEVER eaten one, but I am from the country so I know about it. Also..there was a guy here selling dogs as "coon".

No but I'd try it. Many hunters have coon dogs and find it great sport.
Squirrel and deer, yes.
Would you look for woolves or however it is spelled. The same things that at the wrong time of the year squirrels are infected by?
I read the foot answer and it makes sense.

My daddy and uncle were great hunters so we ate a lot of rabbit, squirrel, quail, pheasant, deer, duck and goose. Daddy was a coon hunter and he often cooked the meat in a big cast iron pot over an open fire for his hounds. I took a couple bites once when no one was looking. Good taste but way too fat. Groundhog is great though! Have eaten buffalo, alligator, frog legs, turtle, antelope, and every kind of fish. Like them all!

I have had my share of squirrel, rabbit, and taters, but not coon. I suspect it tastes like chicken...doesn't everything. I have eaten Rattlesnake, Alligator, tried snails ONCE (trust me, once is enough), but then, I am one who cannot stand Caviar...I get a kick out of people..they will eat Caviar, yet be the first to complain, "oh, this fish tastes fishy! " Go figure! Peace, Goldwing

Oh yes I remember getting home from school and smelling something good to eat , and then seeing all that fat on top of the meat cooking It was nasty but we had to eat it, My dad had his own coon dogs and at night he would take us coon hunting, My ma would make soap from the fat, I don't think its law-full to sell the meat

there is no way I would ever eat meat that has been hunted, not because I don't like hunting, but I don't know what diseases the dead animal has, or what has infested it. I am sorry it is not positive, but to me it is, I would positively not eat a coon or any other dead animal.I have eaten bear, and deer and antelope,and did not like any of them,and I only tasted them because friends were hunters and had us over for dinner.

Born in the South, ate many wild meats, as in--squirrel, eel, opossum, deer, elk, bear, beaver tail, moose, caribou, porcupine, rabbit. From Alaska to Virginia. Never ate a coon, had several for pets, nasty little hissing critters.

Shot one and rule of the house was you eat the game you take. I'd be lookin for something to use as a de-greaser, those suckers are fattier than any meat I've ever trimmed out (ex-meatcutter) . Flavor isn't bad, just make sure it's fresh kill and well bled.
(p.s. it's illegal to sell game in Michigan unless your're a licensed dealer -- get a friend to give you one)
