My sweety likes it!

Good stuff!

Hard to beat that.

Looks good, but no jalapeños in your cornbread?

I bet it tastes great!

I can just taste the castor.. Urrghp. I partook of the beaver feast at an Ohio State Trappers convention years ago.. No interest in ever trying it again lol.. I believe someone was not quite careful in the dressing process..

Larry, my first beaver meat was also poorly handled. Took days of spitting to get that awful bitter castor taste out of my mouth. Took me probably another 20 years to even try it again. I'm extremely careful handling beaver meat. I now consider it to be my favorite wild meat. Hands down better (less gamey) than venison.

What is the best and recommended way , to dress a beaver, and prepare it for eating. How to keep the caster , smell ,and taste off meat. .Also best recipes, I have never, used beaver meat. Thanks old 243

I skin them then remove the legs and backstraps with a different, clean knife. Then I remove the castors and oil sacks.

You really have to be careful not to get any castor on the meat.

I make the belly cut and skin them as normal just to the point I can flip them over onto their belly and continue skinning them from the back. At that point I flip them. I also switch knives and gloves to eliminate the possibility of contaminating the meat with castor. I usually only use the hind legs and backstraps for eating, and both are very easy to remove from the backside without getting near the castors.

Wonderful Wife cooks them just like beef roast.

Moosetrot

that is good to hear BP - maybe some day I'll suck it up and try again..Sure looks like good.
