Sorry to hear about your girls. I'd go medieval if any critters got near my flock. Glad to hear you got the perp. They are greedy little bassturds and will often come back to the scene of their crime. Sorta like Dan hanging out in the looky-loo crowd during a big 5 alarm fire. "Hey everyone - what's going on? I hope they catch the guy that did this".

I do have a simple beer marinated coon recipe. It's really easy...
1. Buy a (6) pack
2. Drink (1) beer
3. Toss coon out in the woods.
4. Drink remaining (5) beers

I had a bowl of coon stew down south and it was alright. Coon meat reminds be a bit like a cross of bear and pork. Fatty, dark, stringy meat. It didn't have any crazy or weird flavor - just tasted like game meat stew. I had to gag just to get the bowl down because of knowing what it was. Moonshine helps wash it down.
