H&H.....I sent a teasing text msg. to a friend this morning with pic's of the bisquits I had just baked. He is batching it and was envious and called me a butthead. My first thought was...HE JUST CALLED ME A HYENA !. I think that video you posted warped my brain just from watching it..

Coyote --> Dog --> Pig...

Not a huge jump.

No gravy and hash browns? Your friend was very much out of line calling you a hyena, that species has some culture after all!

This statement reminded me of a story my dad tells about a Native American who worked on our ranch for a period of time back in the day. Dad had killed a porcupine, which concerned the man. "Don't kill porcupine....very slow, easy to catch, and good when you are hungry!" Appearently, the man had obviously been hungrier than I've had occasion to be, because I'd never even pondered the possibility. Porcupines were...and are...pretty much shot on sight due to the implications of quills and cattle (and dogs for that matter) mixing.

I have rarely seen a porcupine here in central Texas, but when I was a Boy Scout (decades ago) studying survival skills, I remember reading that 'up north' a porcupine was considered "The Woodsman's Friend" or something like that exactly because they were easy to catch and they were edible. Apparently you had to club them though, because you can't exactly grab 'em . . .

My BIL grew up in Arkansas in a family that wasn't well off. His father died of TB when he was maybe a young teenager. He said they ate raccoon when they could get it. He commented that it was somewhat greasy. I keep thinking I'd like to try it someday, but there are so many hogs around that it's difficult to make myself clean and cook a raccoon when I can eat pork.

In the fall anyway, racoon has a layer of fat under the hide (the origin of coon grease, once a popular boot dressing). If skun within a reasonable time, that fat comes off with the hide. Then parboil the meat for a hour or so before cooking. Excellent eating.

BTW porcupine is decent eating too. Skinning it out is a little awkward until you get the hide started (at the belly of course). Having a helper to stand on the hide while you work the carcass out of it is handy. Parboil it, than cook it as you would chicken. I swear, it will taste close enough to chicken to fool the unwary.

A fairly small town near my neck of the woods has what they call raccoon supper every winter.
Have never attended one, but by all accounts it's been quite a success for at least a few decades.

Have skinned far more coons than yotes, and (from smell anyway) that's comparing granny smiths to hedge apples.

1911,
Went to Taiwan for few weeks to work in a mill for company I worked for about 25 years ago, if it's seasoned real good, you won't know what it is. On way back to Taipei, we ate in tiny train station near TaiChung, I found out later that it wasn't the pooch, but the kitty, they where amazed I ate 2 bowls of it with rice.

I have a new line on my "not on my plate" list!
liver...beef tongue...chittlins...turnip greens...'possum...now, coyote.(dog and cat) too.

Never really thought of that. That list is getting kind of long.

Ever eat chicken ? A chicken will eat ANYTHING !!!

Are you still gonna eat chicken ? Probably.

To keep it gun related, What do you shoot chickens with ?
I like .22 short or LR (if I can get some) or .410 or 20 gauge .

Howda pistol...You don't want to take any chances with wounded chicken in the long grass.

 

[1911 guy]

Made me think of a Capstick book. Death in the Long Grass.

Skinning out my first coyote with a friend I said I'll take back straps and a shoulder if that's alright he said fine with a funny look took it home and bam butter Montreal seasoning and garlic salt... Awesome just thought I'd share
Basically like venison back straps
Ohh and a little red wine

As yotes are related to dogs. It`s no surprise.

Dogs are sold for food in the far east. Have been for years.

Never heard of folks eating yote but you say you did. You said it was "awesome."

Learn something every day.
