Even one half grown. I always cooked them for a long time. The old recipe here in these parts was to cook and then bake. I never thought of mr whistle pig being greasy, like raccoons are. And neither are good table fare, more the fun and novelty of the idea of it. I’ve only heard stories, you’ve actually done it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smells like fish Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Actually if you inject raccoon with a brown sugar, kosher salt, water solution for 12 to 24 hours and then slow smoke and add good sauce you’d be shocked. It is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing I’ll just take your word for it……….. those things smell horrible. After riding around in a vehicle with them for about 15 years I don’t think there’s enough money in the world to convince me to eat one 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted July 26, 2021 Super User Share Posted July 26, 2021 My uncle has tried all of those critters. He even tried crow and chipmunk once just to say he “ate them.” Needless to say after he tries them once, I never really hear of him trying them again.

The space it was in was impossible to get to so I had to trap it. Unfortunately for the cat it refused to drink water and died shortly after being removed. Fortunately for my brother in law I got it before it died under his tub which would have been really bad. Only a sick animal refuses to drink water. That's probably why it found such an odd and secure place to hide... To die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They developed a sixth sense of avoidance because humans just want to wipe them out. As with coyotes, they are now some of the most successful mammals. When you try to eliminate something, they respond accordingly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted August 2, 2021 Author Global Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2021 so I go to a new job today and the guys crawlspace smells terrible. There was a whole bunch of junk laying around but I had a sneaking suspicion there was a dead skunk in there. They kept talking about how many times they had seen skunks walking around so I just set some live traps outside. Then the more the conversation went along he started telling me he had even been shooting at a few of them. So I asked if he hit any of them and he said he thought he might have hit one. So then I Go back into the crawlspace and may have found his target. Needless to say after that extraction I need a shower 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was absolutely zero odor present, I told them to hop in with me and ride along if they want to really experience the mustelidae family aroma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
