Happens every year

Well, six more weeks of Winter. I wonder what Groundhog tastes like?

I’m ok with six more weeks of winter.

To answer your question. Stewed groundhog tasted like a beef chuck pot roast to me. Maybe that’s why they’re called woodchuck. It’s way better than raccoon, that’s for sure.

I'll agree that it's better than coon. I like to parboil young groundhogs and they taste a lot like rabbit to me.

Best part is that just about any farmer will let you hunt them and doing so virtually guarantees you access during deer season.

In South Louisiana we don't have groundhogs and our weather has little in common with the rest of the country so we regularly look to our local Nutria as the source of winter predictions. Interestingly, there have been many campaigns to try and make them desirable to eat because they are invasive and destructive. I cannot say what they taste like but are commonly stated to taste like pork.

Those buggers get up to 35 lbs... I'd probably cook one up just to see. (and here I thought rodents of unusual size didn't really exist)
