I found this guy while looking into how to skin a raccoon (mostly because it is one of the few animals I can hunt with a pellet rifle in FL (another story)). After watching the skinning video, I concluded the wife would probably have me sleep on the couch for trying this. Suggesting that we eat a raccoon will likely get me a divorce. But this guy sort of makes it look tasty.

SHTF and I'm pretty sure raccoons would be one of my primary meat sources. Does that mean I should try at least one?

I think you should process and prepare it while your wife is away from the house, then do a blind taste test :)

People eat squirrels so, it cant be worse than that. They are literally just tree rats.

Do you like crab, lobster, or shrimp? Any idea what they eat?

I try not to judge food by it's diet, I love veggies, and they eat shit.

good point on lobster BA, it is the scavenger of the ocean, it use to be slave food, because they could walk along the beach and pick it up, now it is the food of the rich, perception changes
