Cook it to tenderize, pressure cooker speeds it up. Let it cool, roll it in seasoned flour and fry like chicken. You might be surprised.

A neighbor cooked one a long time ago. Looked like a fetus in the pan, headless and slathered in barbecue is sauce. It wasnβt bad, not chewy and mild tasting.

Grandpa said not eat critters that live in the ground, and they ate all sorts of stuff, so I am going with his guidance.

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.

Interestingly a buddy has been killing woodchucks all summer that raid his garden. He claims they will climb a tree to eat leaves. In fact he got one today in a connibear (sp) trap. He eats a lot of wild stuff, even diving ducks but wonβt touch groundhog.

This is what prompted his advice, and it was plaguecentric and western. So, I would pass on marmot, ground squirrel, at least jack rabbit.. Porcupine yes, badger no.

Look up Peruvian recipes for guinea pigs, they barbecue a lot of 'em.

Kamo would love the Korean food buffet on the highway going ESE outta Seoul towards the Chip yong ni battlefeild. Actually pretty damm good. Only buffet I ever seen my 3 tours over their. We arranged for 8th U.S Army, 2ID, and ROK Army General staff,s to eat their after the Battlefield tour for 2 hours to ourselves. The ROK Army General staff actually put the feed bag on and said the food was very good. The Korean owners had some big write up about it in some Big paper in Seoul couple days later. Lotsa different vegetable dishes. Beef and pork bulgogi Plenty of seafood stuff. Ect ect ect... I pretty well stuck to the bulgogi and vegetable dishes. Not a big fan of much seafood....

Worried about the chicken feet but not the dog for protein. At least you knew the chicken feet......

Remove the glands and then cook them as you would pork for BBQ. There used to be a neighborhood cookout on July 4th and my next door neighbor would fix BBQ groundhog for the crowd. Most didn't know it was groundhog when they ate it, but they liked it. There were several of us involved in acquiring enough groundhogs to provide enough BBQ.

Kind of funny,all these guys saying they wouldn't try it but eat the hell out of chicken and pork,two of the nastiest animals on earth,all ground hogs eat is plant based and are pretty good pets. My uncle used to dig them out in the spring time and sell them,said they had one area to sleep and one for waste. I've ate several in my younger days they are mild tasting and tender if younger and cooked right.
