Hunting And Fishing Thread!?!

[uncle eddie]

I've shot a couple woodchucks with 22, one I was after for over 1yr around the farm yard. I thought about trying the meat after I skinned it, had a buddy of mine flesh and dry it for me as a little trophy hide beings it had quite the story, couple of my buddies thought I was going to go all Carl Spackler on it till I finally got a crack at it.

I have had groundhog (woodchuck) two different ways - fried and in a stew.

• In a stew was a win! Very good.
• Fried - taste was OK but it was very greasy/fatty meat ... probably why the stew worked so well..

Chuck and noodles, and beaver and noodles usually. Usually cooked in a Dutch oven over the fire, and sometimes with some tomato wine!

That's a nice price on the tanning you had done!

Oh, and we tried beaver tail, once... not a fan!

Forgot to add... our UPS driver just dropped off a package, same guy that delivered my new electric stuffer, apple press, and dehydrator. He was glowing... had to show me the Big buck his 11 year old daughter shot... it was impressive! But seeing a dad that proud was equally impressive! Told him that was so awesome! Love to see that!

Welp, no luck in my Elk season. Found a bull last day but couldn't get on him. But definitely had a good time with the boys.
Figured id share a few pics...
