It's hard to find a good raccoon recipe on the internet, now "The Joy 
Of Cooking" 2 editions back (the one I got in '73) still had wild 
game recipes in it. I did find this one for roast raccoon 
http://www.bigoven.com/130527-Roast-Raccoon-recipe.html
Anyway if your blackpowder is a large caliber you might want to watch 
where you hit the raccoon, I'd suggest barking it but I've seen some 
big raccoons and I'd hate to see a large, pissed off raccoon on the 
ground next to me .... Plus you really want enough left for a cap and 
a roast <g>. A .22 would be good for this.

Good hunting Don & watch your fingers while you're clearing the brush.
