Now cut the meat off and put in the crock pot add onion celery potatoes, and carrot and cook on low. Add the veggies 3 hrs or so after you start it. If you do that make sure you use a different knife than you use to cut the castors out and don't get any castor on the meat. If I'm saving meat to eat from a beaver, I cut off the backstraps and larger hunks from the quarters as soon as I get the skin peeled back enough to and before touching the castors. ~~Proud Ultra MAGA~~
