Don't see why it would hurt unless they have rabies or give your dog coon dog paralysis maybe boil it first?

I knew of an old timer who would cook coons in a big cast iron pot outside for his hounds.

why kill it if you aint going to use it. i give them to people who eat them and i eat them myself. if i don't have a use for it i leave them sitting.

people now have never developed a taste for wild game meat, except for deer. times past, people would eat just about everything. i won't kill it if i don't intend to skin it and feed it to my dogs. i skin it, split it and put it on the grill. cook a few minutes, feed it to the dogs. same thing with possums. they love it. as for me, i hardly ever eat meat of any kind.

cook it as coon like bear and pig can contain some harmful parasites. If you od cook it remove the bones as cooked bone doesn't break down like raw bone.
As far as personel consumption coon is pretty good eating. I've made stew, chili, jerky, and BBQ. Haven't tried it fried yet but I'll have to wait another year B4 I can coon hunt again. Not sure why as hunters on here some folks are blind to good table fair or at least put some good use to the resource they harvest.

I have ate it,, Would have to acquire a taste for it. But it wasnt too bad, kinda greasy but it was fried, maybe if it was cooked different it would have tasted different and maybe not as greasy.

any time someone mentions feeding dogs meat on the bone red flags go up. there is some risk of problems but i doubt the risk are anywherer near as high as many folks believe. yes, i gave whole chunks of cooked carcass to the dogs, on the bone. later, as i'm cutting the grass i see boney dog droppings. i think any dog with some sense can eat a bone and know not to swollow a big bone. i don't give my dogs pork chop bones or steak bones or small heavy bones. maybe you have to train them when they're young with chicken rib bones.

The guys I hunt with cook up coon all the time during season for the hounds. It really cuts down on feed cost, It also smells great but I'm not eating it!

My Popaw up until he passed away would take coon bout over anything , momaw would cut the legs off boil em for awhile til they where real tender soak em in buttermilk and fry em in flour n corn meal , my Popaw and great uncle loved em , I was never around when they had em or I'd try one . People say shark meat isn't any good either but I catch a mess of sand sharks every year at the beach and fillet em and butterfly cut em slap on the grill with mrs dash lemon pepper seasoning and butter , man you talking bout good , shark a real flakey meat but trick is to gut em out right away so their liver don't release toxins out in the meat and gives it a fishy taste but that's with any fish not just shark , not suppose to make a steady diet of shark neither because their high in mercury but ouce a year won't hurt anything .

One of my best friends told me he would rather have a coon leg, than a steak! He's an evangelist, and he can really put the food away!
