Just saw something on Twitter and it made me think of this thread. Instead of selling beaver pelts maybe you should sell the meat!!!

Tried something new today, cooked up a small beaver I caught a couple weeks ago. I've heard they're good eating, especially the small ones, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I tried cooking up like I do the tougher cuts of venison. Lightly brown, then simmer in red wine and bullion with carrots and onions for a couple hours, then serve over noodles. That will turn any venison tender and melt in your mouth. The beaver was 14 pounds out of the trap, I got maybe 1-1.5# boning out the legs. Wasn't much to cut elsewhere. It's definatley edible, has a flavor like nothing I've tasted before, sort of a strange sweet taste to it. Maybe it's just tainted from the castor. Doesn't hold a candle to deer meat. I'll probably just keep using them for bait....lol. |

We caught a big beaver when I was a kid and we cooked it up. Many said the tail is like bacon, but ours wasn't too good. We did like the meat though. It was sweet and I thought tasty. Much of it depends on what kind of tree bark they are eating. Vic |

Let us know how that cat turns out Barry. I've got a muskrat in the freezer, if I can find a decent sounding recipe, it might makes it way to the grill. |
