BBQ smoked beaver

[dakids]

Well, I'm 44 and just smoked my first beaver. 
The flavor was a little differant, but the texture was very good.  It was a young beaver so it was very tender.  A lot like deer tender loins.  It was some of the bloodiest red meet I have ever smoked.

I brined it over night in salt/brown sugar/honey.  Smoked it for about 4 hours with apple wood.

My wife refused to eat it. 

I didn't take any pictures as I didn't want any proof.

I will try it again and tweak the process.

I heard it's tough to keep 'em lit.

And I might add - a particularly rigorous competition this year.

  Was it fishy at all?      Seriously.

send me a pm next time I would drive 45 min to (Watertown?) to try some beaver

[dakids]

It was a young brown beaver.  Hardly an ounce of fat on her.  No fishy taste at all.

Lenz, I will hook you up next time.  I will make sure my daughters are out of town first.

There he goes, dakids out driving down the highway looking for supper.

Not all roads are created equal.  Some have better pickings, and some have way more competition.
