Muskrats and beaver are excellent to eat. They are both dark meat sort of like beef. The beaver however has a lot of connecting tissue between the muscles which must be cut out.

I'm just starting to get back into trapping, something I used to do as a teen and enjoyed very much. Thanks for posting this. I emailed you at the address given on this site. Did you get it? Scott,

Very Nice. My kids and I are in awe of your trapping ability! Our trapping exploits this year were pretty much a failure. Wish we lived a little closer so you could teach us a thing or two. Nice.

That is pretty cool. Down here, there is almost nowhere left to trap or hunt and even fishing is becoming just a sport of the modernized middle class yuppies who can afford the clubs and launch fees. You now have to buy a license to fish with a cane pole in your own pond! Scott,

I never got on that big, but then again I didn't use the 330's either, just legholds. Them conibears are a bit tricky for me :) And if the leghold set wasn't perfect for drowning them, well, a big one would get away! Good job Scott!

As far as eating them, they say the tail is very good. I've got a few in the freezer and might give it a try. I found a recipe for pickled beaver tail in an old cookbook the other day. I'll let you know how it tastes, ifin' I get around to making it. Hi Emily
