Sex was my second thought. I must be getting old.
The animal was my third thought so there is hope for me yet.
At least sex won out over the animal. [:D] [:D] [8D]

you say skinned and baked. Down here it's throw it on the coals and then skin after it blisters. Body meat is dark, not the best of critters but tolerable. [;)]
Allen,

Thats what I've read outdoortexas, let the fire burn down to coals,throw it on ,flip it over,when the skin has blistered ,then skin it.Have you tried the tail?Beaver meat is suppossed to b HIGH in protein.The fat content is an obvious.I thought that the younger beaver meat was decent eating....I've recipes for muskrat also but just haven't been able to make myself eat one yet.I can see that they outa be good,they r vegetarians but.....
Covered this several times, most anything is eatable if it's not poisonous. Many fish and other critters are too boney, too fat, or more often "sound" offensive to many city dwellers.
Most of it is as you would expect, what ever we grow up with.
Had one for dinner last spring on the 32-day trek. Tail is better than the body meat, to me. All in all still not bad eating.

Didn't realize you were a Treker Outdoor.....I do on my own,haven't found a group close by....
btw, try that muskrat. Most folks I see go to too much trouble tryin' to make wild game taste like it came from a restaurant. Take a small chunk and roast it plain over the coals, then salt it. If it's tolerable, you may grow to really like it fixed in your kitchen.
I'm dead serious, it's mostly attitude. Great example is rattler, really good meat, but way too many can't make themselves try it. Once they do, almost all really like it.
Think beer and cigs. If your honest, as a kid you didn't like the taste, but we did it to be "cool". As you get used to it almost anything, it grows on ya. [;)]

If I had to choose between elk and beaver stew it would be beaver, both of them are better than beef whether they are stewed or in steaks.
* is ok, nothing special. Muskrat seemed sweet to me, not that great.

maybe we need to swap steaks. Cat meat is one of the few things I haven't tried but have heard decent reports. Since you don't have rattlers up there maybe we could trade. We have plenty to export!
Thought of you the other night. There was a show on about exterminators, said Alaska was the only state that didn't have roaches. You don't have snakes either, do ya?

Hey aglore,Don't forget my recipe? Or did I miss it somewheres...Fox,coyote,rtas are open here...not much doin tho.Too much water,and they aren't even close to prime.I'll wait a bit yet,next month everything is open and it 'll be much colder.Hope to have either Early Ice or none for a little while.Most of the time early season there is too much to get thru and not enough to walk on,the life of a trapper eh??
