I like beaver meat. I compare it to roast beef but a slightly sweeter flavor if that makes sense.
Eh...wot?

It is less gamey than venison. Unless you got some castor juice on it...then all bets are off.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Yeah, don't use your opening cut knife to butcher I use one knife to do an opening cut, and another knife to remove the castors immediately. I remove them as soon as I peel the hide back enough to access them, and I take them out as a big wad of fat and gland, and separate it all out later. Then I use a third knife to skin and butcher. Keeping surfaces clean, and bleeding it out into the sink for a while helps.

Beaver is good eating,,as are muskrats. I've only ate one muskrat and it tasted the way a marsh smells. Maybe that's because it came from a marshy area. I should try it again, they look good.

Many years ago they served them in restaurants but called them "Marsh Rabbit" That's what my Dad told me,,it was before my time.

I like beaver and Marsh rabbit. Used to go to a wild game party every year where Marsh rabbit stew was one of the main dishes

Beaver meat is what kept many a mountain man alive. I do think they preferred buffalo though.

Don't knock it till you try it!
It's very mild tasting compared to venison.
WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

The best part of the beaver is the liver. Beaver liver and onions, yum, yum. Think Ill go set some mb750's tomorrow. My oldest daughter loves the "guts", and eats the tails too. I just roast them in the oven and peel the skin off and she'll munch em down.
