Raccoon Jerky

3 lbs Boneless Raccoon
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke

Slice raccoon into 1/8" thick strips 5-6" long removing fat. Mix liquid smoke, water, and seasoning. Brush concoction on strips and stack in large glass bowl. Let stand in refrigerator overnight. Place meat in oven or jerky maker. When jerky is done it is dry and firm but not so dry that it breaks.

The meat is almost ready to be boiled, except for one thing: Although its head, innards and three paws have been removed, it still has one. That’s the law.

"They leave the paw on to prove it's not a cat or a dog," Washington says.

You know the "rat on a stick" we are always talking about at the Chinese place? Well I have a new suspicion.
