No pictures, but I cooked some beaver the other night that turned out pretty good. They're causing problems on our property and I finally shot one I could get out of the water before it sunk. I'm also trying my hand at tanning the fur.. They need to go but I don't like killing an animal and wasting it..
OK no pictures. Gon needs them.

BUT what part did you eat? How did it taste? How did you cook it?

Not legal here. Assuming beaver, means, well beaver.

I sliced up a backstrap and let it marinade for a day in worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and garlic then just threw it in a skillet with some butter. It was pretty good and a lot like beef to me. I'd say consistency was like a rump roast or something if you had cut it into similar size pieces and treated it the same. Still have 1 backstrap left and the hams. Really pretty meat my son ate most of what I cooked. Wife was a good sport and tried a bite. Put a pic up of the pelt which is curing in salt currently.

Back in the 70's and 80's I was living around Audubon, IA. Every winter they had an Izaak Walton wild game feed. Deer, antelope, bear, fish, etc. I would always take a small bite of each on a plate, then go back and get what I liked most.

One year someone brought beaver. No idea how he cooked it, but yummy! Went back and filled my plate with beaver. Always wish I could try cooking one myself. Guess I should have taken up trapping...LOL!

Brunch you could say lol. Definitely not the Hardee’s I was hoping for. I love sausage. I love bacon 🥓 too. I just always have to hold it in when we make it at home because I cannot stand it to be cut in half like this. I just want to scream at the top of my lungs when I see she’s already cut it like that. She swears it won’t shrink but it does. It’s one of those little things that triggers me just right and makes me want to go off. I can’t stand it when someone can’t do something right lol. That’s why I always offer to cook the bacon but she won’t let me cause she knows I won’t cut it. Sorry for my little rant lol. It’s just one of those things I had to go outside for a minute to get it all out haha. I’m still mad I didn’t get my chicken biscuits lol. I just don’t care for anything other than Hardee’s breakfast, steaks and Chinese food and occasionally bbq. Nothing appealing to me about anything else really.
