Caught a small beaver today, and the kids decided they wanted to try to eat the tail. We cooked it in the oven at 350 for about 1/2 an hour and all gave it a try. It was.....not as bad as I thought. Not much flavor, very sticky, all fatty gelatinous mess. My oldest girl loved it though. She dug it out of the skin and ate it whole, like a chicken drumstick. She's my best trapping buddy, and loves the "guts" too of every beaver-hearts liver and kidneys. She's a brave girl.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

LOL !! I love it !!

After getting the skin off the tail chunk it up in a pot of beans with some liquid smoke !! She'll be hooked for life !!


FYI. I wrap mine in foil and put it off to the side INSIDE the wood stove.....low fire. Take it out 30-60 minutes later and peel the skin

Keep those pics for years to come when she no longer thinks boys are icky. Those pics should keep the thousands of penis' you will need to worry about at bay.

Perhaps that sentiment could be conveyed less graphically?

Up here beaver tail is skinned out and fried in a skillet as part of breakfast.

Gotta love kids for their fearlessness.

How'd your wife like it?

Cool. Basically it's bacon with just the fat, right?


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

it sounds like it would make a better soup base than eating outright , something like a bean soup.

seasoning it so that you could make it taste like what you want.

sort of a ham hock replacement they are also very fatty and provide little flavor


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Kinda sorta. It's vaguely pork-fat flavored, but smells kinda sorta like fish when cooking which was a little off putting but there was no fishy taste at all.
