Paul Dobbins OP "Trapperman custodian" Joined: Dec 2006 Goldsboro, North Carolina	Originally Posted by Trapper7 I've tried beaver several different ways: stew, barbecued, and beaver tail soup a friend of mine made. Could always taste the castor, especially in the gravy. For that reason, I'm not crazy about beaver. That's because it wasn't handled correctly. There's absolutely no castor taste in the beaver I prepare. John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

The times I mentioned that I tried beaver was beaver that I caught and I did remove the castors from each one which could attribute to the castor tainted meat. Stop giving them free benefits and they will deport themselves.
