One might think that because woodchucks share the same habitat and diet as cows, that they'd be just as tasty, but there's a reason people don't eat them.
Years ago I went to a cookbook signing written by a guy that taught survival at Fort Bragg. He referred to them as "cave dwelling cows".
I started to skin one but as someone else mentioned "It's a chore". About half way through the process I decided "this one maybe to old to eat... ". I did ask an old farmer living way back in the Mountains of NC if he had eaten any of them. He replied, "They were the main source of meat we had back in the day. He described them as pretty good" but mentioned taking the glands out first.
