That looks tasty! Can you ship to Kansas? Lol

One of my fellow workers (I gave him the beaver). Said that "he cut the backstraps & upchucked shortly after eating there after". I felt bad about that because, I feel it was in his mind & that's a powerful organ.

The best part is the liver. Beaver liver and onions YUM YUM.

I've had beaver several times. Its good but you have to cook it well done. No blood remaining. They can have Trichinosis. Just like hogs did years ago. Bears can have it too.

X2 teepee!

About a dozen of you have misread the earlier post Calvin made about nearly killing his dog feeding it muskrat. I wondered why that might be .

Wy did the rats almost kill his dogs?
Never heard of that one, I've eat a bunch of rats my self, old people I grew up around lived on rats and fish of course we're river people!

I don't think a rat or beaver hurts a dog to eat them, but their pharts can smell like they died!

I used to provide beaver carcasses for a rancher's border collies and one of his dogs got stopped up with an intestinal bulge of beaver bone and undigested flesh. He cured that with a hose and warm water enema after getting a nearly $1000 estimate from the local vet for surgery.

My border collies can't hardly wait for trapping season and have never had a problem.

Beaver meat is a wonderful food. I barbeque it sliced into strips 1\2 inch thick X 1\2 inch wide rolled in seasoning then wrapped in bacon. Do this on tin foil so everything stays in the bacon fat. I have taken this to pot-luck dinners. I swear people go nuts over this and keep coming back for more.

That looks great, I bet it tastes even better.

you forgot walleye les

I've had beaver a time or two. I think it is very tasty. I eat more if I lived in an area that had a lot of beavers. Never had any ill affects.

I have no idea. It's happended a couple times now. Always fresh muskrats. Never had it happen with beaver, though. My dogs have eaten lots and lots of beaver.

^^Hopefully not to the same dog?

Both Beaver And Muskrat As Well As Varying Hare Can Carry Tularemia.

This Disease Can Be Fatal To Man And Other Mammals.

If dogs eat only beaver or muskrat for long periods of time when kenneled up they often get hotspots in their fur . just the same as when your dog food is to high protein .

I ate a lot of beaver back east out here it has a bitter taste I think they eat too much willow , the same smell would be in beaver meat that were eating a lot of water lilly tubers. I've found that bobcats and cougars really like beaver so pancho comes up short!

My half chihuahua half pomeranian will jump over a Tbone steak to get to muskrat. She especially loves the front feet. She will eat all the front feet off 20 ‘rats if I gave her that much. Sounds like shes eating fritos crunching them claws.
