[QUOTE="chaded, post: 1772242, member: 33922"] You will want a young coon, 5-7 pounds. As mentioned, preferably one that has been on feed or been in the corn fields. When dressing it make sure you are ‘clean’ about it so you don’t taint the meat. Also, cut all fat off of it as this is where a lot of the bad taste comes from. It is best to debone them too. Make sure you remove the pea size scent gland from each leg where it meets the body. After deboning you are going to want to soak in buttermilk. 24 hours or so is ideal but if your in a hurry 8-12 hours will work. After doing this you will want to rinse and pat dry. Next you will want to boil the meat for 30 minutes. Once you have all this done ( mouth watering yet?) you will want to transfer the meat to a dutch oven with some vegetables like carrots, onions, potatoes, etc. Also add some salt, pepper, garlic. Add stock but don’t completely cover everything. Put it in the oven set at 300 for 3-3.5 hours. After you pull it from the oven let it rest for 30 minutes. After resting, take it out and proceed to throw it in the trash and order a pizza. I have never ate coon but I imagine that‘s probably the best way to do it. [/QUOTE]
