This recipe is straight from the back woods of Arkansas! Raccoon is a delicate and hearty meat that is sure to warm your belly and take you back to a simpler time. Par this with a side of fried potatoes and a nice cool glass of sweet iced tea and park it on front porch on a rainy afternoon and you my friend have found a little bit of backwoods heaven. Enjoy!

Raccoon has been a staple in this country since it was founded. Hunted not only for their beautiful pelts but also their high fat content which can be rendered down and used in everything from soaps to softening leather. During the great depression, raccoon was a staple for those who lived in agricultural areas and the deep woods. Its important to note that no one recommends eating raccoons from industrial areas (they tend to feed on human waste such as trash and garbage etc.) but raccoons found around the fields (they especially love corn) and the deep woods, are just right for the dinner table. Crock Pot Raccoon is an absolute Arkansas classic! Don’t be afraid to try this incredible rich, tender dark meat.
