We were going to eat coyote once and my friend Chad vetoed it when he said "Friends don't let friends eat coyote."
We have a party once a year where we eat something at least most of us haven't eaten. We've been doing it for around 20 years. I've eaten beaver, muskrat, raccoon, squirrel, groundhog, rabbit, venison, elk, goat, bison, camel, alpaca, kangaroo, partridge, pheasant, quail, guineafowl, geese, ducks, pigeon, doves, iguana, rattlesnake, python, alligator, snapping turtle, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, lots of species of crabs, lots of species of shrimp, oysters, clams, mussels, abalone, crayfish, lobster, scorpion, lots of species of fish.
It's getting harder to find readily available, new animals to try. We are going to try bobcat this year from Mississippi.
I wouldn't want to eat domestic dog or any primates. I can't think of any other vertebrates I wouldn't try.
Keith Bobcat is really good deep fried. I eat everyone that I catch.

When I was in fox farming, we sold all our carcasses to a local Aisin restaurant. We never ate there. LOL

Woodchuck is also very good It was the back straps and hind leg off one of our catches. She's into trying strange foods with me. I didn't do the fox justice, just parboiled and browned it. We agreed that we'll try it again this season and I'll pressure cook it and add some flavoring.
Eh...wot?

I think Craig O'Gorman brought that sausage. I ate some too. And I thought I'd never met Mr Ogorman till the wyoming convention last year. That was the first trapping event I'd ever been to. It was about 10 miles from my house.

I’ve eaten a lot of stuff but I draw the line a k9, cats or really any type of carnivore. I have eaten raccoon and possum as a kid but even that I wouldn’t eat now unless I was in a survival situation.

Ate dog in VN, with the Yards, another time on Camachee Reservation. Not saying I wouldn't eat it ,but I'd have to be very hungry. Had some fellows, years ago that had a cabin, every Thursday evening, they had wild game cook. Turkey, deer, duck, etc. Asked me about otter, was chasing them hard. Skinned young 1, cleaned it up for them, as everyone knows, otters have desticnt smell, thought nothing about it I advised soak in water ,until time to cook. Talked to them few days later, asked how was otter, was told after less than 20 minutes, in oven, out in the yard it went, smelled real bad.

Fee not unless I needed to, I've eaten different meats at wild game feeds.
Probably the best I've ate is mountain lion. And rattle snake being the toughest meat I've ate
Let me sugar coat this

I have it on very good authority that it tastes like BBQ sauce.

As a kid first time I had coon it was greasy and salty and disgusting. Then years later I learned my mom late would cook it by par coiling it to remove as much fat and gamy flavor and then cook it in the over with bbq sauce like pulled pork and we never knew we were eating coon.
Where it is caught makes a difference. City animals eating garbage I would never touch. Most of the possum around here are city possum so no thanks to them also. Porcupine is supposed to be very good and was common fare for native Americans. They are slow and lumbering so they could be easily clubbed, flipped over and handled by the feet. Another meat I have never tried is skunk, although if you do a clean job removing the glands they can be smell free and have very clean looking/smelling red meat. Beaver I would tend to use for jerky or potpie as with the lack of fat in the meat I found eating beaver that has been cooked in the pan is like stone hitting my stomach when I swallow it.

Probably the best I've ate is mountain lion. And rattle snake being the toughest meat I've ate I guess it's all in the preparation. I've had rattlesnake. One of the guys at camp killed a 52" black timber rattler at camp years ago and the camp cook made a meal out of it. It was good, light colored meat that wasn't tough at all.
Eh...wot?
