Beavers, pests or pets???

[HMFIC]

What? No beaver buyers in Oklahoma???

I heard somewhere that Oklahoma beavers aren't big or hairy or thick enough to bring much money...

After a trip to the fair, I challenge that assumption.

That's at least $200 of beaver pelts right there!!

Maybe 30 years ago.

They taste more like squirrel to me. Kind of a cross between squirrel and rabbit. Much better than deer! And tender. Every part is tender. Not like a deer where you get about 10 pounds of tender meat and the rest gets bigger as you chew.

I love squirrel....hmmm, I may have to try eating a beaver.

Sorry, I keep thinking of Alaskan beavers. They are softer and bring more money. Check out Alaska Fur Exchange here in Anchorage. They can hook you up with some good beaver.....

Boy that right there is a large beaver, it will take a lot of taxidermy to stuff that beaver.

Just make sure it's clean first. Nothing worse than eating tainted beaver.

The tail is good I hear from my pops but I never tried it. Baked and mixed with beans.

Do you need to soak or marinade it, or is preparation unnecessary?
