Let's get exotic...

...in a local sort of way...

Anybody have some non-traditional varmint recipes, say for groundhog(whistlepigs), muskrat, etc.? I saw a restaurant on TV that cooked muskrat, looked awful bony... I know somebody on here has eaten the more popular of roadkill specimens, taken by gun or trap, of course.

So let's hear it! Anybody here use groundhogs for something besides reactive targets? Muskrat? Crow?

If nothing else I know we've all eaten crow before...
