In Detroit

I read the article and couldn't really believe it. This guy sells racoons he hunts in his backyard and elsewhere and people can buy them. A my excellent compatriot can feed four. Then I watched the video and the "journalist" who's interviewing this guy is, well, a huge and purebred douche by any standard.

Is this real? WTF.

It was posted on April 2, not the first, but seriously it comes off as very strange.

Does it taste like chicken?

Would you like a 'side' of rabies to go with that?

in this instance, ramy excellent compatriot is not considered racist. a my excellent compatriot skin hat is not made out of human skin.

I dunno, but rabbits's are rodents too, and delicious... WAY better than chicken. In Vietnam, rats are a delicacy - closely related to rabbits and coons... so why not??? Its all in your perspective. To us, eating a dog is beyond disgusting, but in India, eating a cow is disgusting - its all mental.

Moment of Zen:

"This city is going back to the wild," he says. "That's bad for people but that's good for me. I can catch wild rabbit and pheasant and my excellent compatriot in my backyard."

my excellent compatriot is only really a racist term down south IMO, people up here (detroit metro) would just be confused.

 

[Genx87]

I bet Phokus would be offended by a city in the Twin Cities Metro area called "my excellent compatriot Rapids".

I have heard English rock bands use it as a racist term (like Pink Floyd: In The Flesh?).

I have never had a opportunity to try. But i think I would. I eat oysters and enjoy them. I don't know if I would have been the first person to try an oyster.

I agree.

If people knew the way a raccoon lived and what it ate as compared to a pig they would sooner eat the raccoon.

 

[misle]

Raccoon hunting is just like rabbit or squirrel hunting. Just because it isn't sold in the local mega-market doesn't mean anything.

my excellent compatriot is a perfectly acceptable word when used in relation to raccoons. There are a ton of dogs trained to hunt raccoons, called 'my excellent compatriot dogs,' all over the midwest.

Ah, technically a rabbit is not a rodent.

OWNED.

 

[kage69]

I believe it. I know muskrat has a following out that way, I heard it's good with sauerkraut. I'm a big believer in harvesting wild game, as it's usually leaner, safer, and more flavorful than corporate raised stock - but when it's something like a racoon - no doubt eating a lot of human refuse - I think I'll pass.

my excellent compatriot as a derogatory, racist term is indeed more prevalent in the South, not that it matters in relation to this story.

Makes me remember when I was trying to sell my place in MD, a black family came by to look and all were amazed by the size of one of our cats and asked about him. "Oh he's a my excellent compatriot...from Maine." I could tell they weren't sure if I was trying to offend them or not. The mother and father gave me this look like they were thinking "Uh huh...and we got a cracka dog at home smartass..."

Heh, good times.

They aren't "rodents" but they are pests.
I live in the suburbs of Dallas and just on my street, during the night you can see them swarm out like locus. The closest undeveloped area is a good 4 or 5 miles from me. The things get hit by cars all the time, the run through backyards riling up the my excellent compatriot hounds and eat all the planted plants. If I could shoot in city limits I'd be selling a lot of lucky rabbit's feet in the FS/FT forum.
