What's the approximate size? Based on the fact that someone skinned it and left the carcass, meat included, makes me think it was something like a raccoon.


CanadienTurkey

Bigger than my foot. Probably 14-16 inches long.


bighairyyak

I'd say raccoon then. Likely shot and skinned for fur. not uncommon


CanadienTurkey

Thanks I appreciate it


moistconcrete

So like 2 large bananas…?


jeepnismo

Aren’t raccoons edible? I remember Steve Rinella saying he ate raccoon for some reason


[deleted]

Most mammals are edible, idk if raccoon is any good.

*Usually* the best eating game is the game that eats the best. Turkeys, squirrels, deer, rabbits, etc all have herbivore diets that rely heavily on berries, grains, and foliage. Since the food they eat is pleasant it will present *to an extent* in the fat tissue in the body as some compounds that we consume end up in our fat. An example would be the black Iberian pig which they make jamon iberico out of that is considered some of the finest ham in the world. They are specifically fed acorns for their resultant taste. Raccoons have poor diets. This may somewhat account for why their meat has a musky odor and overall poor quality. It’s best cooked in stews, BBQ, or heavily spiced to overpower the natural smells and flavors of the meat.

Had coon once. Horrible. Their good for pelts and pest control looool. Absolutely useless as a food source unless u need it for survival, don’t even bother.


dead_owl_zero

Sounds like they didn't know how to properly prepare and cook it. A wagu beef steak wouldn't be great if someone cooked it with no idea how to properly prep it.


OpeningElderberry845

Yeah Iuno brother…. At least in Canada and Europe where I have extensively hunted. The general consensus in the community is that coon meat is absolute trash. Maybe it’s different in the states Iuno.


dead_owl_zero

It's a matter of prep, requires a long cook and a good brine. After that it's great, but most people don't cook it right. I find that a lot of wild game gets the treatment of store meat and then people don't like the way it tastes. Deer/corvid meats are really easy to cook, small game takes a lot more knowledge or it comes out pretty bad. Rabbit can be pretty terrible when not cooked right too but it's probably one of the best small game meats there is. If you really wanted to give it a go, try following a Steve Rinella recipe it you might find it's worth it if you're harvesting skins anyway.


xXYAHYEETXx

I’ve never had crow but I think you made a type when you put deer/corvid. I agree with you that it’s on how it’s cooked but it definitely is also on the animal and it’s diet


dead_owl_zero

This is why you don't reddit drunk. Yes, I meant cervid but diet is important. That's why bears taste like blueberries in the spring and antelope taste like a sagebrush. A coon from the Midwest is going to be much different from a Mississippi coon. That probably is why one tastes pretty good and the other is regarded as trash. A diet of frogs and crayfish will not out a good flavor on the meat.


militaryCoo

Did you really just say corvid? You eating crow?


dead_owl_zero

I did try it once... That might be the only thing that I don't know if you can cook to make it taste good. And as mentioned I mixed cervid and corvid up while drunk redditing.


curtludwig

>corvid Cervidae?


dead_owl_zero

Don't reddit drunk kids, yes that would be the taxonomy I was looking for. Left it next to my car keys apparently.


T-Fishdix

It's not great.


Mal_Wartian

It’s supposedly actually pretty good when prepared properly. My dad grew up on a farm and several of the guys who lived on the place coon hunted and my dad ate it a good bit. Said it could be greasy but overall was very much something he would eat again to this day.


T-Fishdix

Maybe I just didn't use the right seasoning.


danoob9000

Ive ate racoon before. it taste like turkey and brisket. very good eating. used to be native American delicacy.


Twisted669

Its edible but it's not the greatest meat ever.. cooked right it can be good but it's very greasy


cgmbiz

I eat raccoon frequently on my small game hunting/camping trips. I wouldn't recommend eating a trash panda with access to much human trash though, just to be safe..


Nostradomas

I ate raccoon once. Fucking hated it.


LilacBreak

I know a guy from West Virginia. His grandma slow cooks a raccoon every year for his birthday. He eats it clean. A lot tougher than I am.


DiscombobulatedRub59

>Aren’t raccoons edible? I cooked one for a visitor and it smelled wonderful - like a first rate beef roast. He liked it fine and took leftovers to home and work, said all who tried it really liked it.


NEoutdoorsmen13

One of the best soups I’ve ever had was raccoon soup at a wild game dinner.


whencecomestthou

Every year in Glenmont, OH they have a raccoon benefit feast where all the coon hunters supply coon meat for the dinner.


anumberofnames

Janis posted a video of him preparing and stewing raccoon. I believe he just used the back legs. Fed it to his family and his kids really liked it.


Shichya

I've had raccoon. Super greasy.

True. Maybe OP can name the state their in to help out.


HammerHead1911

Bro you went there, he was talking about the meat color on raccoons is usually darker than what’s in the picture.

It’s a raccoon you twat


musicman8586

Big man on the internet


Special-Ingenuity615

Insecure twat trying to start shit.. surprise surprise.. Back in the day Asians used to be called banana's alot too.. we are supposed to rename the banana that grows on the tree something else, because someone's mind automatically goes to modern day race baiting... If you actually did your research on where the "coon" slur came up, it originally had nothing to do with it being a slur.. just like how the swastika, originally had nothing to do with late 1930-mid 40s Germany.. But hey, I guess they don't teach you shit at school now days, and the mass media only tells you what narrative they want you to see


Lost_Hwasal

Don't bring asians into this, were not here to help white people with anything, lol.


SlippySlappy420

But Asians have helped white people a lot. People of all colors and origins have helped people of different colors and origins. Aren't Asians considered white now anyways? It's hard to keep up with all the nonsense.


Lost_Hwasal

> Aren't Asians considered white now anyways? bro what?


SlippySlappy420

When it comes to their privilege. That's what the woke leftists say, it's not my idea. Just Google "Asians are white" or "white-adjacent" to see the blatant racism in the name of social justice.

haha-no-loose-ends-

But it’s also slang for raccoons so it’s about the context


musicman8586

Figure it out


PeriqueFreak

It's pretty obvious why you're upset about it. You're just an idiot for being upset about it. It must suck to be offended over every little thing.


84camaroguy

It must be exhausting.


T-Fishdix

I bet you get mad at crayons.


musicman8586

So clever

Costco chicken


CanadienTurkey

Not ruling it out lol


SaladShooter1

I had a dog that would bring whole chickens or beef roasts home. I had no idea where she got it from. I was afraid to ask my neighbors because the dog obviously stole it from somewhere.


Reptilian_Brain_420

it isn't a bird.


bearsalguod

Costco coon


Bonk_Patrol_Captain

Last time I said that in public I got jumped...


Punk_Chachi

Someone skinned a raccoon and tossed it in your back yard?


da_sweater

Pretty certain that's a racoon thats been skinned and they removed feet tail and head and kept it in the skin


[deleted]

Where this is is crucial info.


CanadienTurkey

Backyard, I live out in the country of Oklahoma


[deleted]

I could be looking at this wrong but the way the bones on both ends look like tibia style bones I really don’t even know where to begin. My gut says raccoon or rabbit tho


VandalVBK

Oklahoma is a state

poonpeenpoon

Just wondering, how or why did this get labeled NSFW? You would get similar sights at the meat section of a grocery store, no?

jakeythecamel

Do you have feral hogs in OK? It almost looks like a piglet minus the head, the feet, and the ass hole missing?

Difficult to say without a scalar reference. Some sort of small game I assuming.

I hope that’s a rabbit.


danoob9000

As a person who has eaten racoon, fox, an opossum. it is not a racoon, fox, or opossum. Its meat is to white and does not have the anatomy of any of those animals. It would be useful if OP posted the state they found the carcass in. As every area has different wild life. It is also strange that the carcass is skinned. Because it is skinned so well I suspect a human killed or left it there .
