Is this legal where you live? (Page 2/3)

Not legal in NY unless it is farm raised with a permit. I think it needs to be inspected too, but not sure.

That may be the case here also. Will ask around and see what I can find out.

"Coon" just doesn't sound that appetizing to me. Then again, I didn't think Rattlesnake would be good. It's all in the way it's prepared.

Rattlesnake had almost no flavor when I tried it.

I had rattlesnake once at an Elks Club wild game dinner. It was good but without all the seasoning they had on it, I would tend to agree with you. As far as the coon goes, preparation is very important.

I have eaten fried rattlesnake numerous times over the decades and almost all the flavor does indeed come from whatever spices/flour/cornmeal/egg mixture were used in the breading it is coated with.
It's a lot like frog legs.
I 1st had snake meat (unknown species) in North Carolina during pre-deployment training, and we just skinned it, pulled the little bit of guts out and chopped off the head and heated it over a sterno stove in little pieces. Very little flavor and it was tough and sinewy. The lizards were about the same way as is alligator tail. But, protein.

In Australia feral meat eg goat, pigs camel, deer, rabbit is sold. Native kangaroo
Easy to harvest carp i think.

Thanks for the response, that's interesting. I don't pretend to be an expert on the reasons why some or all wild game can't be sold in some places but, I assume it due to some expected inspection criteria or health issues associated with consuming some things by humans. That pretty much says I don't know squat about this topic.

Appreciate the advice, never considered doing that. I wouldn't even know how to access any edible meat (assuming there is any).
