Seems like they were more popular as table fare back in the 50's and 60's. Anybody got a good recipe? I kill plenty of them every year, always wanted to see if Im missing out.

You can bake them or put in a crock pot. There is also a market for there skins also. put up like a coyote on a wood board for a coon with the tail slit open but leave the tail bone in.

Your missing out! I love groundhogs. You can cut them in to fryer pieces, roll them in flour, S&P and brown them in oil in the skillet. Then bake them @350 for 40 or so minutes depending on the size. You can also pressure cook them till almost done, and then fry them. Sometimes I leave them whole and put in the slow cooker like a roast, taters, carrots, onions and such. One of my favs is to either pressure cook them or slow cook them and shred the meat off the bone and add your favorite BBQ sauce. Pulled GH sandwiches. People often scoff at me for eating groundhogs but GH's are a tasty critter.

aim 2 ft over their head and hope a deer is standing there.

I think they’re good eating

They're super good. Like the best grass fed beef ever. You can do most anything with them you'd do with beef. For Halloween one year I made general tso's beef with black rice, and everybody loved it.

Used to know a guy that canned them. They were good. He would give us canned bear and groundhog. You would only know which by the small rib bones of the groundhog.

Where do you sell them coydog?

I love to slow cook, shed, and add barbecue. I take a cooler with ice in it with me and get the guts out of them then on ice.

Several years ago when I was a bachelor we had a pot luck dinner at work and it was made mandatory that everybody bring a dish or dessert. My dish was barbecue ground hog. I remember everybody lapping it up. Later I revealed that it was barbecue ground hog. It was priceless. I was never asked to bring a potluck dish again. I was hoping for an encore because I was going to use the same recipe, but change it up with Racoon meat.

I'll pretend I didn't read any of this!

You can come to my house. I take out between 20 and 30 a year. I have a few under the shop right now that I'll have to set the connies for. I can make you fat on groundhog.

Lol Finster, if I come over and take out your groundhogs will you put my lower together.

Are there glands you need to take out before cooking or or no?

Ttt. Our farm is crawling with these animals.

They are more fun to hunt than eat .The reason they where table fare years ago was people where much poorer .They did not waste ammo or food . During the depression days and later wasting anything was never considered

Rock chuck or Marmot out here!

Meat seasoned with season salt and lemon pepper. Cooked in a rosster pan with an inch of water on 350 until meat is falling off. Make sure water dosend burn dry.

Coyotes got them all where I hunt in Eastern NC.

Your right Don where we live that's blasphemy . lol

Never saw one in south Arkansas, there used to be some about 150 miles north of here, don't know now haven't been up that way in long time. I never knew people ate them until now.
