4winds: Indeed I have eaten Rock Chuck, Porcupine, Cougar and wild Beaver.
And as an aside when I was a young man I had a new neighbor that was an Arkansas native. He wanted me to keep some of the large Carp I was bow Hunting out of Lake Sammamish out in Washington state, for him to eat!
I did so and he kept urging me to eat some with him.
Finally I did and by golly that fresh water Carp tasted pretty good!
I had heard all my life that Carp were not fit to eat.
I don't know what he brined and battered those Carp in but they tasted pretty good to me.
Hold into the wind
