Crazy Muskrat!

[hihobaron]

If you trap, a good muskrat was running $10 to $15 each. My friend traps a couple hundred every year for fun.

Hello All
I have trapped muskrats myself. 
Yes for fur.
But a little known fact is they are GOOD eating too. 
All white meat, not much fat, pure vegetarian, Clean always in the water. Reproduces quickly in the wild.
Skin and then clean like you would a big squirrel cook like you would pan fried chicken , or brown up and put in a crock pot or dutch oven and make the best stew you ever had. 
Note : If you are serving to company don't tell them what the meat is till after supper. Have fun watching them.  
Pan fried with some BBQ  is great, serve it chunked up like chicken nuggets.ETC.
Happy Trails
Good Eating
