Processing, and cooking Raccoon

[@mike196425]

Don't let them talk trash about the way you live Brother. I'm learning good stuff from you so keep up the good work.

[@dt65262]

I grew up coon hunting and have had this exact meal many times! Thanks for sharing this video, I'm sure lots of people had no idea they could eat a coon. Kids are spoiled today, they turn their noses up to anything not fast food. We didn't have fast food as a kid, we hunted and raised our food, any dinner out was indeed a special occasion. Thanks for sharing!

[@khadijahdavis1572]

Amen and Amen

[@gregknight293]

...........Good use of a free and natural resource........more of us need to follow your example. I have raccoons in my back yard under the flood lights most every night............Thanks for showing me how to best use some free groceries.............

[@scooterbrown8259]

Man my dad was a butcher , I learned at an early age how our meat is prepared and I'm an inner city boy lol , we fished and cleaned the fish in the backyard , the whole dam Hood would be watching lol , you have inspired me to show these young ones something different than these streets , thank you !!!

[@jnull0]

We just take life as it comes, one day at a time. Thank you for asking, J

[@virginia7191]

Thanks for the video! This really brings back memories! My father used to go hunting in the mornings before he went to work and had my mother whatever he got, and she would clean it. My job was to hold the feet while she cleaned it. She used to cut the raccoons into pieces, flour and fry them like chicken. Good stuff! Thanks for the memories.

[@Beeker613]

Thanks for sharing this. I am a city slicker and rely on grocery stores to provide me with my food.. It's good to know there are still some people living and surviving the way we were meant to. I'll be awaiting an invitation to your next BBQ :)

[@thrzan6726]

We need more people like you on KZbin , thank you

[@joshwilliamson2141]

Most people who say hunting and killing animals is wrong actually eat animals that they buy from the stores.

[@1RobertSmith]

too cowardly to participate in the killing themselves but want to judge others who actually kill the animals. Phony people

[@Burntchickennugget22]

True

[@PG-sq5pt]

What if they vegan

[@Dave-vm8rr]

Great video John....Thanks one more time....Take care by brother and God Bless...

[@altha2008]

When I was a kid in school, my brother and I use to catch Racoons on weekends for extra money and food. Back before 1980 you could easy get $20.00 for a Coon Hide. sometimes we ate the meat when we had too, but most of the time we sold it.

[@OscarFreeandAccepted]

the raccoons ate my chickens now we are eating the raccoons, Texas

[@alphasloth1964]

SAME! Exept, in my case it was possums.... XD.... there were good tho

[@shamarlewis1933]

I only eat to survive

[@caseymoore1001]

marwan wan Why are we disgusting? All animals even deer and horses will eat meat if it's available

[@PeterGriffer247]

marwan wan Plant lives matter! Think of how many plant lives you've taken every time you eat a salad. You are by far a surpass plant killer!

[@johnvines4875]

Amen to that, I am from Dallas and I still shoot the mother fuckers. I eat it though.

[@nerblebun]

I've never seen such a well trained Raccoon. The little guy held perfectly still through the whole demonstration.

[@lj5777]

Bro please leave the room wtf 🤬

[@nerblebun]

@@lj5777: Obviously, recognizing sarcasm isn't one of your strong points.

[@khadijahdavis1572]

Ohhhh man that's some good eating right there bro, you did a fantastic job on that coon, looks delicious, we have all rights to consume animals and to be as self sufficient as possible, i love a catch, clean, and cook, we never have to buy that crappy meat from the grocery store if we all raised and grew our own food, now that's living

[@larryfinklestein4480]

Like he says, you gotta get a free meal when you can get it. Not everyone goes to the supermarket to buy meat. I would try it.

[@snarfblattscuttle]

Good to see you again friend. I hope you and yours are well. Thanks for sharing sir.

[@lanettedonahay926]

thanks for sharing your knowledge of how to do a snapping turtle. Lanette Abell and my sister Anita Abell will be enjoying ours that our brother and my husband caught. we love country eating in southern Indiana.

[@joetheh]

lanette Donahay a snapping turtle? What the fuck?

[@jimcockey4385]

Even without livin in the hills we ain't lettin nothin walk by us either ! Long live the good life 🙏 ✨️ 😊

[@TheWtfnonamez]

As a strict vegetarian of over 25 years............ aw fuck it.. anyone that can kill, skin, gut and cook a raccoon, deserves meat for breakfast. Subbed and +1

[@Hammett175]

lol

[@qualqui]

Ymmmm....coon for supper! First time i heard of this, my mom got to tellin' me back in my teens what life was like on the farm(bay city, tx.), most fruits, veggies, livestock and wild game complemented what wasn't available like flour, sugar, coffee, etc. and amongst the wild game she prepared was 'possum, bullfrog legs, wild ducks and catfish, them big channel cats, but never mentioned anything about coons or as we know 'em over here, mapaches. thumbs up jnull0 and thankin' Mrs. V for sharin' on G+!! =)

[@stephenferrante1836]

John , since raccoons are always trying to kill and eat my chickens , I have no problem trapping and killing them . I do sell the skins , I boil them , mix the meat with rice and gravy , and my dogs love it . Same with turtles , I don't eat them , but my dogs and cats love the meat .

[@juanchico6527]

I'm Rican and from Milwaukee.. So we don't have a lot of good food like this.. man this looks delicious.. thanx for the vid

[@jnull0]

lol. I think they will like it. I like the fact that it is local, and I know what, and where they eat. God bless, J

[@dogleghobag]

Glad i came across your channel great stuff, informative. Love that you don't waste good meat.

[@INSANITYX100]

i love your videos its not only knowledgeable, but soothing indeed

[@Forgan_Mreeman]

I love the future. you can search for anything and there is a detailed video on it. like "how to cook a raccoon" lol

[@musatosun1790]

FrogLungs you know how to time travel ?

[@elliottgilman3868]

you know i love what the good lord provides, and as growing up with the elders in the back woods, i have grown to realize many things, as i was told, always bless your catch after you shoot it, and before its cleaned. but everything from rabbit, opossum, squirrel, snake, turtle, deer, pheasant, duck, goose, fish, wild hog, its provided on earth as edible....... just finding and learning the old method as i call it, is a lot safer than the new. but you just made it a lot easier for me and thank you much now i can put coon on my plate and enjoy another new food cant wait ............. thanks again

[@angeldedios7377]

Thanks for sharing.First time I watch something like this.I wish I could eat some of it.

[@ralphsgunchannel3978]

Keep up the videos I’m from Kansas myself then I joined the army and moved to Washington it sucks living in the barracks I have to keep my guns at a buddy’s house off post I used to do a lot of hunting in the flint hills over by peadmont and Eureka

[@mikes6998]

Oh wow I didnt even know they were edible. Thats awesome video. Definatley a mind opener.

[@darkkiller1485]

Mike S Pretty much every animal is.. edible

[@SlimMech]

Great video man. I hear you on not letting a free meal get away! I grew up farming and if we wanted something besides beans and cornbread we had to go find it.

[@jking1116]

I've saying this video a few times and I still love it. Keep Bringing Us great videos.

[@stephenferrante1836]

I watched you early on , and I honestly miss your ways and wisdom .

[@paulamitchell3068]

Great video! It took a lot of courage to do this one seeing that most people will turn their nose up at it and judge. I for one love coon meat and will eat it any time opportunity allows. Last year 2 of them helped themselves to my corn plants and destroyed my small crop. They also helped themselves to a couple of my chickens. I set live traps and caught both of the little buggers and they became dinner for 9. I think it tastes like dark meat chicken and I love it. I did mine a little different though. I cut it up soaked it in salt water then I boiled it for about 20 minutes or so then breaded and finished it in the frying pan. So tasty.

[@conservativemacro80]

+Paula Mitchell sounds cool. im 16 and really want to start trying animals that people normally wouldn't eat like coon, porkupine, crow and coyote but theres no way my parents would let me. Also I've shot a coon once and it smelt so bad, idk if there all like that but it kinda turns me off. I shot one last year but didn't get to close to it so im not sure if it smelt or not

[@ronhall4199]

put it in a pot of water with your favorite seasons and boil it until it gets tender. take it out and put it in a covered pan with your favorite BBQ sauce and bake it, it is very good.

[@deanbeach8748]

Damn glad to find videos like this brother, reminds me to make some time to get back in the woods. Best of luck to you and yours from Upstate NY.

[@brujero13]

Thanks for sharing, I've always shied away from raccoon as a food source but this video makes me think of putting raccoon on the menu again.

[@marnieenglish9400]

I nearly had a heart attack when you started skinning and an animal started squeaking lol ! Watching from the u.k.

[@bishop1212able]

Ha ha, I was waiting for the tail to move.

[@20PINKluvr]

Lol that was his cat

[@harlemvaught3805]

Great vid J. hope things are getting better for you. I know you been having a rough time. Praying for you and yours.

[@johnnywhite1681]

My family always boiled, rinsed and then put in slow cooker with BBQ sauce. Made fantastic bbq sandwiches!

[@paoemantega8793]

Thanks for inviting us into your lifestyle for a moment

[@confederatekustoms]

Don't forget the musk glands near the butt an in between the muscles in his legs. You don't wanna cook itvwith them still attached. You thought the fat was poop, shoot thats a bad day right there haha. I love your dang videos, keep the way of life alive and the videos comin'!

[@jnull0]

I am happy to learn, and share along with you. Thank you, J

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

Good to know, I'll have to try that as I have been thinking about a racoon bag for camping, so perfect sounds like a perfect time. Thanks

[@BesttBi]

I've watched my dad(black guy) and my grampa(Puerto rican guy) both clean/skin a raccoon and cook them. I was only 7-8 years old when that happened though, so it's good to see what I don't remember. It's really cool stuff.

[@nomadicmind]

Could be hell good with a glass of home made apple cider! Nice vid, man!

[@mikeschwartz1764]

Awesome and informative, thanks man.

[@LMarshall32]

Thank you for bring us along! Thumbs Up!!

[@domib.3924]

this guy comments on all the hunting videos

[@mechanicandskills7215]

fantastic upload thank you so much for sharing

[@pyrofful]

@jnull0 you have some awesome videos i find very useful. I went squirrel hunting this morning and came back with a coon instead. (Both in season) Im also going to preserve it's hide im thinking about an alum pickle. Anyway thanks alot for posting all these different animals it helps me out a lot since my father usually only went after deer and never would think of eating coon. Lol. I say if you kill it you better eat it if its big enough and i also try and preserve the skins. Thanks alot your videos are of much help! Keep them comming. Happy Hunting!!

[@pyrofful]

Glad you said that about fat. I left 30 percent or so of its winter fat supply on it time to remove that!

[@thomasjohnson1664]

TJ Jones haha same thing happened to me went with a 12 gauge and me and my father tap on trees if there is a nest and if we see something move we shoot it which is perfectly leagle in south carolina and I see a 25 pound raccoon fall out of a squirrel nest got it on my gopro too

[@pyrofful]

@departmentofnatural hahaha dang right. My neighbor side she feeds them with the wild cats....i was thinking great put simething that may have rabies with something that a young kid would try to go to and pet....good idea. At least it increases my odds. Lol. Btw i did a brain tan instead and made a coon skin cap. Glad it was a big coon needed a lot of fabric for my big head. Lol

[@jeremyandchristina5556]

Great job , I learned a lot Thank you

[@2leelouCreates]

Great info thanks for sharing.

[@aaronwest209]

These videos are great. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. This is stuff every man should know. Cheers bro.

[@theroyalhat4097]

I LOVE Coon but never cooked it. People just don't know how GOOD Conn is. They look at you funny and say that's a rat. Well, it's a Good one. After seeing how you cooked it, I tried it and could not get enough..The meat so tender a sweet. Just can't find anyone in this area to catch them. Man Oh Man I LOVE COON...Than you for that recipe it was delicious. I thank I'm addicted. Thanks and God Bless...

[@moose615]

Good job there! Just like gramma cooked them!

[@vektorblue]

Food is good Great video brother Lots of great info Bet that tasted good as hell Cheers

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

That was great! Thanks for sharing.

[@pomatomus1010saltatrix]

That raccoon had a far better life, less environmental impact and most likely, a more humane dispatch than the industrial meat most of us eat.

[@jnull0]

It kinda tastes like a very dark poultry meat, I think. Thanks for watching, J

[@Sheila6325]

Thank you so much John, Raccoon is the only animal I had never seen skinned and prepared before, so this is great inforamtion for me. I have never seen how to cook one either, so this is wonderful.

[@stevenreeves1394]

what about the glands - do you pull them out of the legs (front and back) or does the salt and vinegar neutralize them? Thanks for the video!

[@deejay3971]

i hope you got kids to teach this stuff to. this seems to be crucial information. i wish i learned when i was young, i probably would appreciate food, and eating more.

[@scottcozart8950]

Nice job buddy. looks damn great.

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Do you have any Armadillo up in them there hills? Good eatin!

[@joevelasquez7026]

keep up the good work brother. God bless you

[@aj704nc]

looks delicious brother . thanks and god bles

[@notinfoilplease]

I hadn't really thought of eating raccoon, but you made it seem quite tasty! Thanks for the pointers!

[@Catwomanmn]

good video. I'm learning how to survive. Any videos on using the fat? Do you just rub it on boots????

[@dfrusdn]

Do you take the scent glands out of the legs? I heard it makes a difference in the flavor.

[@jnull0]

Yes, there is a gland in each armpit that I cut out with the fat, and two glands in the crotch area that usually come off when you skin it. Hope this helps. J

[@Brainchild69]

I've eaten raccoon before. Like anything else, if you cook it right, it's pretty good. Good vid.

[@joshnalysiaandrew8080]

Awesome video....extremly helpful.

[@betsyoman7173]

Not sure if you will see comments on an old video like this, but where do you get the black gloves? They look like some mean business kind of gloves.

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

YUMMY!!

[@jnull0]

They do, but in the winter when it is very cold, the sick animals will usually die from the cold. I also check the liver, heart, and lungs for spots that would indicate sickness. As for the hide, a night outside below freezing will take care of any fleas or mites on the hide. Thanks for watching, J

[@loves2spin2]

Thank you for this video. Very helpful.

[@jamie1977ish]

great video. thank you. and screw anyone that says anything negative about it. you got to do what you got to do to live.

[@Nj-vz8no]

Is there any tell from the innards if the critter is sick? Like looking at a rabbits liver to see if it has rabbit fever. Thanks

[@tctennessee7360]

Looks good, will have to try roasting one next time, I usually slow cook mine in a crock pot smothered in bbq sauce...Will also try smokin' one on the grill too.......Did you trap it or shoot it?

[@djchinatown]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you can actually eat a racoon and i got a cooking video to go with it.

[@jnull0]

I might have to try that, it sounds good. Thanks, J

[@grassyknollblues]

A great video! What sides go good? Slaw? baked beans?

[@jnull0]

It was very tasty Bob, give it a try if you come across one. J

[@williammills936]

Keep up the good work brother!

[@jnull0]

I bet they would make a candle, or lamp oil. Thanks, J

[@MrAutochamber]

I have been living in NC for a couple of year snow and I see allot of these but it doesn't get real cold here so , are they safe to eat? What kind of parasites or worms would I look for?

[@mikef7872]

Your videos rock very good for survival

[@nunyabizza]

I wish you would have told about the scent glands and went into detail about removing them.

[@blackwatermarano]

thanks for the tips brother!!!!it was a really good video!!!

[@daviddraper2991]

hell yeah bro meat for the table man don't shoot anything your not going to eat! 🤘✌👊🤙👍

[@jnull0]

LOL, you want me to save some for your next visit?..lol. J

[@imying72]

Thats the only way we CAN take it now a days...one day at a time. God be with you bro.

[@user-gv9uw7sr2x]

I liked your video I was wondering this very thing since I will be hunting them and many other animals this year. The day of going to the store is over for my family cant afford that and mortgage. Like you I dont plan to waste the pelts.
