I skint a beaver one time, they are EXTREMELY fond of their hide. Plan on ruining a good edge on 2-3 knives for a big beaver. Yes Im serious, no "beaver" puns here. I never thought about eating it though.
I saw on Yukon Men the other day that they eat beaver, an dit sounds like they enjoy it, but if you have to kill every morsel of meat you eat, I guess everything becomes "Good" meat.

I smoked one from the trap line last year.

It was good but would have been better cooked like a pork shoulder for pulled pork.

The beaver backs straps floured and fried were quite good.

If I catch some trapping this year, Im going to brine it, then smoke for about 4 hours, wrap in foil and slow cook another 2-3 hrs until it pulls easily.

30/35/30 mix beaver, wild hog, groundhog. Grind all together & season with garlic salt, black pepper, worcestershire sauce & fresh rosemary.
Makes the BEST burgers you ever slapped on a griddle!
