There is no way I could eat something cooked with Coon lard, I just couldn't.

I hate the smell of raccoon let alone the taste.

that might change if you haven't eaten for awhile

True

I have to be honest--this thread makes me want to throw up.

I know, if I was starving......

Pig lard YES,,,coon lard NO

I had two (out of 6) dogs that would eat coon fat...and throw up immediately afterwards. None would touch the meat. Good luck with that.

Back in the day, my Dad rendered coon fat to put on our work shoes and boots. In the winter time when they got wet, we would take them off and set them under the old wood stove in the living room to dry out. We only had wood stoves to heat and cook with at the time.
When they started warming up they would stink so bad it would gag a maggot. Smelled just like a wet coon.
I almost threw up just reading this thread..

Need to put some Dr Sholls foot powder in em

Bear fat lard ....yes. Coon....no.

Yah! Bear grease!

I've cooked and eaten coon and thought it tasted good. The amount of parasites I see in coons grosses me out some. I should make better use of it and eat it more.

Pecoon Pies

Salve to spread on toast?

Dogs love coon carcasses cooked and burnt.

I think I'll pass too.

Yeah I saw this post and remember old books saying bear lard is the best pastery lard but...ew. Let us know how it goes.

Crows won't even the dead coon on the highway, same with possums.
