Muskrat tails/muskrat meat

Looking for a buyer /market for muskrat tails and meat.

Try a raptor or mammal rehabilitation place. I have one near me and they take carcasses on occasion I don't charge them but it's a way to make sure they are used and it's good press if they mention it in conversation.

Pretty strong meat market here

One can make MTO (muskrat tail oil) with
the tails.

Some say it is as good or better than BTO !!

w

I'll stick with olive oil

Does anything eat the tails? They are the only thing left in my carcass piles.

Muskrat tail earrings!

Go to the trap shed and buy the muskrat livers, they make great liver Patte!

Savell's sun dried muskrat tails! Might be the new thing, and better than possum'

We bake the muskrat with the tail on, excellant eating!!!

I've eaten a lot of muskrat but not the tail. I tried beaver tail once not that great.

Is that like frying a trout with the head on.

I think muskrat tastes a lot like early season puddle ducks, just different shaped pieces. If the beef only people up here really got hungry and lived by a slough in a non-drought year when there were mrats around, they'd learn to eat them.

Isn't a person supposed to make soup out of the beaver tail? I tried frying one in college. Poor choice of cooking. It was like eating a greasy rubber biscuit. I think it ended up hanging out in our day room for a while until someone finally threw it away.

We eat the tail too, not much on there but it's good. Never heard of beaver tail soup, you cook it over a fire.......I guess you can fry it too, then peel the skin back and eat the inside. It's just fat.

I had the beaver tail in bean soup as the base. Soup was good but tail was just fat.

I sell my furs and bodies to him. I believe I get $2.50 a body. Not sure how far he is form you. but if you have a lot, it may be worth it. Sometimes He will buy beaver and some coons as well. Call and see what he needs.

Thank you!
