Eating lots of beaver will really help your lifts and physique goals in general. As those goals are met, it will also become easier to obtain said beaver. Just remember, beaver is a dish best served fresh and clean.
While you’re searching for the most “bang for your buck” (I typed THAT one carefully, believe me!), keep in mind that there are also fat levels to take into account. High protein content, if it comes with a lot of saturated fat, wouldn’t be a great idea.
I love it when the Nation finds a topic they can all appreciate.
My advice: Open several windows, search for your animal of choice, and flip back and forth watching the marking dot move around the caloric ratio pyramid (make sure you are evaluating based on comparable serving sizes).
Options:
elk, venison, bison/buffalo, ostrich, emu, many more…and of course sexy music beaver. Yeah, baby. (autin powers)
The site I previously referenced has a tool for doing a quick search based on parameters of interest.
I did a search in the ‘Lamb,Veal & Game’ category for foods high in protein and low in Saturated fat and cholesterol. You can obviously change those to be parameters of your interest.
The beaver jokes are funny, but on a serious note it may be high in protein, but I think, I heard somewheres that it is greasy. The mountain men would have eaten a lot of it as they trapped it for the fur and often ate anything they could get due to survival.
The Indians as well probably would have eaten if it tasted good, but I think they have a lot of musk from their glands which probably affects the taste of the meat in a bad way, so even high in protein if it tastes bad probably wouldn’t be considered meal worthy unless under survival conditions. My two cents.

Yeah, I agree. I don’t like musky or greasy beaver. It really upsets the taste. Sometimes beaver has that “gamey” taste to it. I usually pass on that and find some that is fresh.
I believe there has been an article or post that compared the amount of protein in various sources, and I thought Ostrich and Buffalo were two of the highest protein-containing animals per serving. They were also some of the leanest sources as well.
