Hey, Booneville Missouri is just up the road a piece. Besides how does a
Tilley hat compare to a Coon Skin cap? I think I will drag out my black
powder rifle and go a coon hunting.
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.
