Here is the story over on Highlights but I must add this is my first recovered one.

The last time I had a chance the critter took off down a hole along with my arrow. Not this time!!!!!  :goldtooth:  

Just one more step please!

That's awsome! Those critters are hard to sneak up on. I've got a den in my back yard that needs thinned out. Couple of close calls but not yet. Way to go!

I was seriously going to clean it and try it out. Heard some good things about them.

Unfortunately upon inspection this thing was covered with parasites. YUCK!!!    :thumbsup:

They do taste quite good. Kinda squirrel/rabbit/venison like. Younger ones are better (more tender)
Don't worry about parasites. They just tenderize the meat..jk

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Ground hog leather is amazingly tough - makes the best lace material. Young ones good on the grill and slow cook the old ones.
