Never cooked one myself, but have had it a couple times. Pretty good.

Boil in a pot for a few minutes, rub with salt and pepper, slather on some BBQ sauce, wrap in foil and toss him on the grill/smoker for a couple hours low heat...
When he's falling apart, he's done.

Grandmother cooked up one I shot, cause my dad said if you choot something gotta clean & eat it, was better than possum not as good as blackbirds, like greasy stringy roast beef
I've cooked a few in my time.
Yep, used to eat a lot of them when I kept coon hounds. Not bad at all.

I've eaten a few in my time. I boiled the coon til it was tender then pulled the meat off the bones. After that, I'd either put the meat in a pan and stick it in the oven with some Sweet Baby Ray's or put it in a skillet with some SBR and cook it down.
I hear a lot of people say that coon is greasy but I've not had a greasy one. Maybe I cook it enough to get rid of the grease. I don't cook them often because there's so much work in it the way I do it and I don't get a coon that often.

Sounds like some folks can't tell a coon from a possum

Im kinda fond of coon meat. Their a lot cleaner animal than a nasty turkey or chicken. City boys turn their nose up at them, that’s alright, they don’t know what their missing. They make dandy bbq too.

Coons are good.... good to eliminate from the feeder...
They make good bait for a Yote trap.
Eating one.... no thanks..
I’ll wrap a back strap from a deer... I’ll toss a coon in the trash can along with a possum..
I got a buddy who will eat anything.. he asks me why I won’t eat a beef tongue. My answer. Why eat a beef tongue when you can eat a ribeye... he’s yet to beat that argument...

Fried coon is good. Especially with biscuits.

BBQ coon is good. Will not eat no possum.
Big difference in a coon and a possum. Coon is good. Possum, not so much. You ever eat a chicken or pig? Nastiest animals on this planet. You just aren't disgusted by them because of familiarity with eating them.
Lotsa purty people gonna starve when the stores go down, ain't they?
Show me an animal on earth greasier than a pig. And people gobble them down by the millions.
Like said above they're good. Last one I had was in a Crock-Pot with onions taters and carrots. I'd taste a lot like roast but was delicious. Also good grilled with BBQ sauce slathered on. Y'all keep sticking your nose up and I'll keep eating them. Granny would've tanned your hide for that around her house!
