The "free trappers" of the mid 1800's held beaver tail in high regard along with buffalo tongue.
Vegetarian animals shouldn't be a problem. It would take some experimentation to figure out how to prepare each animal to make it palatable.
The omnivores? I'm not sure. Bears are omnivores. They're edible. A raccoon is just a small bear. Once again, give it a whirl, see what happens.
Most edible animals are "farmed".
Possum recipe:
Dress out a tender young possum. Select a piece of pine 1x12 approximately two feet in length.
Attache dressed possum to board. Prop board with attached possum next to fire. Leave until possum is goldem brown.
Discard possum, eat board.

Hmmm, Good Question... The best time of the year would be winter to eat it. If your going to do it right make sure to cut all the fat off the meat. Then boil the meat for about 30 mins to remove more hidden fat. After that put in crock pot and add some seasoning. Taste close to wild pork, can be tasty if done right!!!
