I don't doubt they are edible if your willing to work at it. Reminds me of eating carp. I have heard that handling them is not recommended, as they are a vector (their ticks) for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Not sure if their ticks are any more likely to give it to you than any other animal with ticks on them, you may want to research it a bit before you go all in.

Isnt this why we're pushing vaccines......so we can try new wet markets?

Cookie has a cookbook containing Basque sheepherder suggestions. It suggests gutting the animal leaving heart, and liver therein. Inserting some spuds, celery, onions, and carrots before stitching up the cavity, and tossing the whole hairy deal into a good flaming woodfire. Dig it out of the ashes after an hour, pry off the rind, and have at it.

Some farmers wantsd the younger ones. Those became .22 mag targets. The ones we hit w .22 -250 and .243 were food for the buzzards.
Never ate one.
Too hot n buggy, to mess w cleaning em or lugging a cooler.
If we popped a young one the farmer wanted we took it right to him for the dressing out.

When we first moved out here in what used to be rural middle TN, the old timers in the neighborhood traveled the rods looking for young of the year groundhogs. That generation is mostly gone now and McMansions are popping up in the groundhogs habitat.
Groundhog and beaver are two critters that I have always wanted to eat. Diet for both should be pretty clean/green.

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.... the chicken feet they sold in the street carts in the ROK were one of the very few things i would not eat over there. that and Whisper Alley poontang were a no-go for this cheap charlie. Lol!!! I regret to this day trying dog at one of the road side grill in Tongduchon.... Drunk as hell..... 1st tour 89 90. Wish I had never did it. 2 bites Then I said fugg this and threw it away....

Would someone eat a prairie dog? Opossum is a go, ya'll know dat, git git. How about a skunk? Starts to make a woodchuck sound tasty.

Had an old man that lived next to us growing up. I stopped by to see him once as a teenager and he was just sitting down to eat some groundhog. Invited me to try some. It smelled good, and tasted pretty good too. I recall it being a little greasy. No idea how he prepared it.

Most of the time when I hear something isn't worth eating, I'm gonna try it. Cause they probably can't cook and think mystery meat made of pressed pea extract and processed oils is good food.

I don't have any experience with woodchucks, but I have a lot of experience with nutria rats. They're all just big rats (or squirrels). I like squirrels okay...but don't really care for a big slab of squirrel meat.

Groundhog and beaver are two critters that I have always wanted to eat. Diet for both should be pretty clean/green. My dad was a cook in the Army. Every year they’d do a wild game dinner for the officer’s mess. He took me along a couple times to do prep. He’d roast the whole beaver, sans guts and hide. When it was done, rip the head off and serve it. A few years later the base commander got busted for poaching moose from a helicopter.
