Tip for Santa next year: A new heated/cooled garage big enough for the daughter to roll out a new wrestling mat (and of course for Santa to store his ATV/boat/etc for delivering presents).
Old Saint Nick delivered us a 67lb beaver, 2 snared song dogs, and 3 big boar coons this morning!
Low key one of the tastiest meats there is. Biggest one we’ve ever trapped by 15lbs. Measured 4’ 1” nose to tail.
That's not so big
Please tell me you leave the tail on after cleaning so I'll know what the heck I'm eating? It used to always freak me out as a kid when some of my cousins would bring over some of their fresh kills with the paws cut off. I've got some back woods cousins on my daddy's side. Lord only knows what all those hillbillies have eaten.
I'm with you Coach! I'm one of those guys that just likes plain old meat and potatoes. Then one day we had a fundraiser in a little hometown/downtown bar, and late in the day some friends of mine who knew I was a bit "squeamish" about food suggested I try some of this battered deep fat fried stuff. Didn't know what it was but I like battered deep fat fried stuff so I gave it a shot (basically I was half drunk and hungry and said what the hell...........).
Wait!! Are you telling me there's a place up there I can get Rocky Mountain Oysters???? Batter fried? Shut your mouth! If you like them that way, you should try them smoked and grilled. Gives you a whole new appreciation of good eating...... I grew up on a pig farm. NOTHING goes to waste. The world may have taken me out of the country, but it'll be a cold day in hell before I allow it to be taken out of me.
That’s the only way I prepare them. Well, I’ll marinate them in soy and garlic overnight first. To die for!
It would be blaphsemous to leave the tail on. That's used for beavertail soup, after you remove the tail leather to make wallets.😉
