My grandma would take a cleaned coon and rub it down with salt, paint it yellow with mustard(literally), place it in a cast iron dutch oven, cover it with sliced onion, crush up several dried cayenne peppers on it, place several sweet potatoes around it, and slow bake it for hours in the oven of a wood stove while occasionally basting it with a homemade vinegar sauce till it was falling off the bone.
Did the same with possums.
Yeah, I've ate possums too, and fox.. and bobcat... and snapping turtle... bullfrogs... gar fish... eels.... alligator, armadillo, crow and most everything else that walks, crawls, flys, or swims that looks like it might be good fried, stewed or barbecued.....
Armadillo? Leprosy not a thing with them? I’ve got a buddy who tells me to stay away from them.

Guy that worked for me in SW LA passed out Havaheart traps to all the people around the plant to catch coons in their barns. They would call him and he would stop after work to collect. He was headed to Chicago to visit for a holiday and he hauled an ice chest full of frozen coon to BBQ. They went wild over it. Wanted him to ship them coon when he got home.

There use to be a restaurant west of Beaumont built over/along a bayou. There were coons all over the outside window sills wanting scraps from people. Several times a night one would fall in the bayou and feed the alligators. People got upset over the "poor coon".
