WOW" Thanks Rob and the moderators for having me grace the top of the Tradgang page. I consider that an honor and I certainly do thank you. Also thanks to all you fellows for the well wishes and kind words. It goes without saying, I do love to hunt and pursue Groundhogs and small game, almost as much as big game. And yes I do eat them. I cook them in a slow cooker. Thank you all very much. Shoot Straight and Good Hunting.
Tony

Yea Tony is the man , he said several times he will get down to Texas to help me with our hog population I hope it happens cause I could use a lesson or two.

Thanks Sam, I plan to still take you up on that offer some day. But I don't think I can show you how it's done, because between you, Bisch and Pat B, those hogs down in Texas don't stand a chance, I will have to learn from you guys(LOL).

Congratulations Tony, well deserved. The thread recounting your sons hunt pictured in your avatar is one of my favorites.
Keep putting them down.
-
Well deserved Tony, well deserved....
-
Way to go buddy!
-
I have chased those wary critters.
its not as easy as one would think.
From one Tony to the other.. :thumbsup:
-
Tony, what do those little hogs taste like, chicken. For a grass eater they have the worst smelling guts of any animal.
-
Once again thank you much fellows. Terry, I don't think the young ones taste like chicken(LOL), but with a slow cooker with certain ingredients thrown in, they are quite tasty. Remember, a groundhog is nothing but a vegetarian(herbivore) and they eat quite well sometimes depending on what the landowner(usually farmers) have planted in their gardens. And you are right, their guts do carry somewhat of an odor, but once you get past that and clean them up good in good cold water, you are good to go.

Tony, et al,
I hunted them all my youth...soon as Momma kicked them outa the den, Grandma would push me to pop a few fat young'uns to cook up.
Once I shot a big ole sow mid summer... (not with a bow) and on the bathroom scale, it weighed 27#.
I got off a 4 qt pale of fat as I skinned it. Their fat smells just like Vitamin E... having used vit e to heal cuts, it's an unforgetable smell.
Second, on that big ole sow, I found these grissly nodules of smelly stuff (glands) under each arm and leg (4) and then, 2 such grey uglies between the shoulder blades...
We par-boiled that slow with some spices, then breaded it and baked it like "Shake-n-bake" ("...and I helped", if you're old enough to remember that commercial)
biggie for me was to look for and use a separate knife to remove those "glands"... sure made a far better eating meal!
And yeah, we ate that old sow, too... and done slow and moist, living on alfalfa hay forever, not at all bad victuals!
-
Congrats.. Up top brother..
-
Tony, I always thought g'hogs tasted better than muskrat!!
Doc, "I helped" too, on armadillo, rattlesnake, and few other less often eaten mammals.
-
Hi Phil, good to hear from you, and I trust all is well. I do like muskrat, but I have eaten more groundhogs than muskrats, so in that case I guess they do taste better(LOL).
Tony

Congrats on the chuck and up top picture, Tony!
-
G'hog is kind of greasy (similar to raccoon), but is more palatable than muskrat. Muskrat has an off taste, in my opinion. Armadillo is quite tasty, but taste nothing like chicken!!!
