I knew there must have been a reason people ate Beaver!
Ah, just as I expected the Beav was pretty high in fat. No fried beaver tail for me unless it’s a cheat meal.
I like my beaver slowly marinated.
Not all beaver is fatty/greasy.
Perhaps you gents just dont know how to trap quality animals? You should re-examine your techniques.
The lazy ones are easy to get. You want the beavers that will work on a log all day if they have to.
When referencing the ‘nutritional content’ of beaver in future correspondence we men may want to use the term ‘pleasantly plump’ as opposed to ‘fat’!

In what?
Beaver fever. Glad most of you recognized the humor, but methinks it went right over some people’s heads. Beaver is great-just make sure it is cleaned well, and the ‘fur’ is removed. muahahaha! (i need a job. lol)

Guys, looks like a dinner invitation. On to Washington.
Yes indeed, the yummy beaver would probably be the one that works on a knotty pine for many a long hour…
Another topic near and dear to the casual beaver afficionado is stuffing. While eating beaver is of course fine, stuffing your beaver can provide a lot of fun too.
Please note, beavers are quite resilient and may require restuffing on a regular basis.
However, stuffing your beaver may result in a net protein loss to you, even if the beaver is a very good source of protein.

Her own juices, of course.
Vroom, very astute.
I can’t decide whether I like eating beaver or stuffing beaver better. They’re both so enjoyable. The good thing is that with a really great beaver, you can do both!
911 Girl, I have a knotty pine for you…

“Honestly Ward, don’t you think you were just a little too hard on the Beaver last night?”

Yes indeed, a hard log working beaver will fit the bill any day, but they gotta be careful with those incisors my friend!

While I can applaud your PC-ness, the beavers you want to be hunting won’t require you sugar coat it. Only the fat beavers that get berries caught in the fatty rolls under their webby arms appreciate the special designation.
Though, im sure there are some who enjoy getting their berries caught in a fat role. shudder
This thread is making me thirsty.
It’s very important to shave your beaver before eating it. You don’t want to get hairs caught in your teeth.

Hence the popularity of Brazilian beavers – no stubbles.
