Generally I use fresh herbs, when I can get them, you know what I mean. I've never tried this with pen raised rabbits, only cotton-tails.

Coons are pretty greasy, so you would probably par-boil them first to get some of the grease out. I do this before I bbq them. Then you would shorten the cooking time or they would turn to mush. Try it and let me know. To answer your question, no I have not tried this with raccon.

Several dove breast, cleaned
1 box wild rice
1can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can milk
1 can water
1 medium onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in casserole pan, lay doves on top, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2-2 1/2 hrs at 325 dergrees. Serve with a green salad and several glasses of good merlot.

1 medium to large Rattlesnake, cleaned and cut into 6" pieces
3 TBS Dijon Mustard
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp celery powder
1/8 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Combine dry spices and mix well. Rub mixture over Rattler untill evenly coated. Rub thoroughly with Dijon untill meat is well coated again. Cover and marinate for about an hour. Grill over hot Mesquite coals for 15 to 20 mins or untill done. A good side would be grilled corn on the cob. Serve with chilled dry white wine or cold beer.

Ok, so I like Tandoori chicken and decided that I would try it with a few dove. It's kickazz.
1 cup Greek yogurt(plain)
2 inches grated fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, grated
1 TBS chili powder
2 tsp coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground cumin
12-15 cleaned dove breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper


This can be done in an oven or on a grill, I prefer a grill. Mix yougurt and all ingredients except salt and pepper in a bowl, salt and pepper doves to taste.
Mix dove and marinade in a large bowl or a large storage/freezer baggie, mix well. Seal and refrigerate for an hour or longer. Get your oven or grill ready, preheat your oven, or gas grill for 500 degrees or, build a good fire in the pit, I use mesquite and burn it down to coals. Anyway, a good hot fire. Put the dove breasts on indirect heat(grill), or in the oven, for 20 to 25 mins, or untill done. If using grill, open lid and place breasts over coals untill some charring occurs. For some reason tandoori spices do not really reach full flavor without some charring, not too much. I ate this with garlic humuus(sp) and pita bread, you can have almost any side with this.

While the fire is burning down, a couple of cold drinks, Mojito's or Cosmopolitan's, or, cold white wine, or cold beer, are in order.
