Beaver should be eaten with the hair on .the first part of processing a beaver is to remove the hair, usually by shaving it.
That any kin to a hoodrat?It's not as good as muskrat or nutria but not bad.
I've seen those,I just thought they were possums.That any kin to a hoodrat?
Meat Eater did an episode on them.
I watch that show when I get home from work. Comes on one of my hunting channels at 6 & 6:30. The meals he prepares look mighty tasty.Came here to say Steven Rinella has a recipe for beaver tail in his new cookbook. Also heck out MeatEater on Netfilx, by far the best show on Netflix right now

Like most wild game, handling and processing along with cooking have a lot to do with the outcome. Beaver is especially so with the castor glands and the oil sacs. You get oil from the sacs or castor on the meat, you will not likely be happy with your meal. I am a lot more careful skinning one for the table.
But properly skinned and prepared is a different story. Cubed and cooked in a slow cooker like beef stew is good eats!
Ahhhh I had it backwards. Thank you sir!I remove any meat for consumption before I remove the castor and oil sacs. Clean knife and new gloves after skinning to remove what I intend to eat.
