Woodchucks can be cooked in a pressure cooker and taste just like beef . For bait it can used fresh or tanted . To tant it . Cut the meat up and place it in a glass jar . Place cheese cloth over the jar and add the lid but don't tighten it . Go dig a 2' hole on the shady side of your house and cover . Dig it up once a week and stir up the bait . After six weeks or till its how you like . When it's just right add in a preservative . We were headed home from the convetion my son starts talking about how he caught this muskrat by the tail . My budy goes well when you catch a mink by his dick lets talk . I about went off the road it was so funny . Then come to find out my budy wasnt making a joke and started talking about how the mink didn't want to move . I had tiers it was so funny

I tried eating a woodchuck one time,even gave it to the Pit-Bulls and they turned it down. If you ever see me trying to eat another one,please slap the taste out of my mouth, and tell me to raise my ADC prices so I can afford real food.

What I see here is two distinctly different opinions: One sees this as ground chuck and the other as woodhog!

Well did you remove all the fat before cooking .

Well I am not an adc trapper as an occupation.I am 16 so it is fun and gas money.Just mostly something to do.

Pesky, I caught a possum one time in a #3 by the pouch, and it wasn't a mama possum. No catch circle, no grass wound up in the chain, trap was still in its bed. Only thing it did was poop a little.

Groundhog meat is not bad, that doesn't neccesarily mean it's good. I've got a coyote recipe, hope I never have to use it!

Good job on gettin' paid for something you enjoy doing conibearguy, careful, it's habit forming.

Did you get fur trapping rights? Is there water where you can do frogs, turtles and fish?

I can't bring myself to eat woodchuck myself . I just can't get that smell out of my nose . My family eats it like its prime beef .I'm sure if I dint have my truck bed full, half the summer I would belly up .good job Kid way to get it done and I'm sure 20 bucks is worth a lot more to you than a pro paying for adds ect . If want to ride along with me your welcome anytime .

That's a good offer conibearguy.

How's a male opossum have a pouch!?...ohhh, that "pouch"...I don't know if 'possums can sweat, but I bet that one was sweating profusely and not moving a muscle till you released it.

We have been trapping the guys land for some years now.He is a really nice guy and enjoy trapping for him when he has problems with animals.
And Peskycritter, if I am ever up your way I will definately give you a call.
