Yes, it is good.  It is quite fatty so there are some special tricks to
roasting it.  I have never cooked a coon and usually there are one or two
old ladies in the community who seem to have the knack for preparing an
edible coon.  I am not one of them.  I would imagine it is similar to
roasting a duck or goose, both of which are very fatty.  Also, like lamb or
mutton, it wants to be eaten hot.

You have heard of eating "road-kill,"  well we have some genuine
"road-kill" in our freezer.  A lady's car was hit by a deer in front of our
house and the deer was killed on the spot.  Since it was a fresh, clean
kill I asked for and got the deer.  Now I have to find recipes for cooking
venison.  Ruth

Up here we eat coon.  I haven't had it for quite a while

So was it good, or not?
