Mine wasn't as happy to see me. Made friends with an escaped convict from the neighbor’s crawfish boil Saturday afternoon. He wasn’t very friendly, kept scaring my three-year-old and trying to pinch me. I turned him back in for his bad manners. They took him back to the river.
I am supposed to go to a crawfish boil I'm may down in Biloxi. Not really excited about it, I don't eat crab legs or lobster I don't want to feel like a raccoon when I am eating.
I love lobster and crab, growing up on an island in the ocean will do that to you. But, I cannot stand crawfish. They are only good for live bait IMHO.
I am not a crawfish fan either, but I love crab... You should eat the raccoon. If its fixed right they're delicious and raccoons aren't canibals so you wouldn't feel like a raccoon eating it. I made mine into breakfast sausage links for the first time this year and they're fire. Just gotta make sure to get ALL the fat off the raccoon meat because its really gamey and its more like a wax than a fat so it kind of coats your mouth and solidifies if you eat it and you get stuck with a greasy gamey tasting mouth for the next few hours. I ground in bacon ends & pieces to replace all the coon fat I removed. I did about a pound of bacon to 4 lbs of raccoon meat and that worked out to be just about perfect fat to meat ratio. It would probably be pretty good if you used plain old pork or beef fat instead, but as we all know, everything is better with bacon in it.
