Racoon Recipies???

Deep C · 10-17-2005, 08:35 PM

Just heard a noise outside my office window. And looked to see two racoons having a tug of war with the swordfish bill I had drying from the other night!

A lot of things I'll forgive animals for. Taking a dump on the lawn, Digging in the flower beds, even knocking a trash can over. I will not forgive eating my hard earned trophies!!!

So with that said, I'm knockin some beat up broadhead cause I don't want to waste a good one...

Rocky Racoon is deep on my shit list!

Now. As a good killer of things, I always follow my pappy's advice. "You kill it , you grill it!" So I'm lookin for coon recipies before I doink the ring tailed skunks!

Deep - rub some Cayanne on the bill and they will leave it alone. Or (God's honest truth) put out a bowl of beer. Coons love beer and they will drink every last ounce. They also get drunk real easily. So they will either pass out on the lawn or start playing with the sword. If your luck they will impale eachother with the sword.

Hey I live in hickville here, I can ask the old men tomorrow down at the local mom and pop gas station how they fix their road kill...

You will have to put rocky on ice until then though... I give them cooking hints all the time they owe me one...

They completely tore it apart. Like sword jerkey. Probably have heart attacks from High blood pressure as I dip all the meaty parts in salt to help spped drying and prevent rotting...
Been pretty lucky for a long time with no pest problems. Wildest one was a few years back. I was hanging a big set of mako jaws from a wire off a tree limb because I knew the coons had been around thick. I woke one night to this blood curdling screeching and screaming. Twice as bad as any cat fight. Flipped on the light and there was fur and blood all over the jaws, ground and even hairs just floating down!

Never saw the final product but it had to be ugly...

I'll try the Cayanne. Earnhardt used to sprinkle tobasco around the fish cleaning house and near the grills to keep flies away. It worked...
