Last year we hammered the 'chucks after they declared our garden veggies a free for all. Wife live trapped 5 and someone else CZ 452'd 6 more. They've been shy this year but just caught the first I've had a chance at this year, a young female, in with the zucchini. I've heard they're good eating but never bothered messing with them. This one was taken about 10 minutes ago and is in the 'fridge to cool off but I suppose if I'm going to eatit--or feed it to the girls--I guess I better get guttin' and skinnin'. Anything suggestions or input appreciated. Otherwise I'll just leave it in the 'fridge for the wife to find when she gets home and gets to preparing dinner. She loves these gags. OK, so maybe 'love' ain't the right word for it, but she's usually a pretty good sport about it...

If it isn't a young one of two pounds or so, forget it. It's been decades since I had one, but IIRC, there are a couple of glands in the small of the back that you need to very carefully remove. LINK I posted the same link as Muffin, at almost the same time.

Thank you, gents. RR, it is indeed a young one and that link is great. Again, thanks for the help.

They seem to be crock pot sized....
I'd likely start there.

Would rather eat a pair of old Chuck Taylor All-stars. Even the BBQ sauce will be tough.

Why would you even want to try that? Steak is a lot better. If that’s all you got with some polk salad, maybe?

Why would you even want to try that? maybe? No mystery involved. I like to at least try to try eating things that I've killed, assuming they're edible and can be transformed into something that tastes good. I also always like trying new things and I've been told they can be good eating so thought I'd ask and see if anyone who has actually eaten them could offer some insight. I sent STX a pic of the small beast and asked him about it. He wrote back, 'you damned Asians will eat ANTHING!' Damned laciss, he is.

I attend an annual groundhog feed each year. Delicious .
No clue on the prep or cooking method.
Go for it.

Cube it up
Marinate it overnight.
Make some type of stir fry with it.
Bout the best easiest suggestion to try it IMO.
BK 1 dollar Bacon cheeseburgers on standby in case woodchuck stir fry is a flop...

Damned laciss, he is. “Laciss”…it took a couple of seconds for that to sink in 😀 We don’t have them this far south but I’ve also wondered what they would be like as table fare. Some details if you pull it off. I don’t know if I’d try the chuck in the fridge joke though. 😳 make sure there are no sharp things in reach.

even a small one will need some tenderizing. pressure cooker idea is good. then treat as any other rodent meat. potpie, deep fried chunks, stroganoff, etc.
worthy venture. i did it years ago with less than good results. fyi, roasted ground hog is not as good as rancid crabtree makes it sound.
