I've eaten a good many of them. Young of the year are good battered and fried just like you'd do rabbit or squirrel. Funny the people that will eat a shyt eating bird like a turkey but won't eat a woodchuck. Woodchucks are vegetarians, don't pick through/eat shyt and are actually a pretty clean animal. Older ones are good in a stew slow cooked in a crock pot. They are a bitch to skin. If you like liver take note that a woodchuck has a big one for it's size and they are very good. Just be sure to remove the bile sacks before you fry it. Much better/ milder flavored than beef, calf or deer liver.
