Well, I do realize that some hunters eat that stuff as when he'd go up to deer hunting camp, some of the guys would bring stews made out of all types of these critters. (He just told me it was opposum / possum...and Gary the cop made it.......he also made soap from the fat and then with the meat he made a stew). I would send up chili made the normal way. Others made rabbit stew.

I didn't say he hunted the groundhogs, but that he trapped them in his have a heart trap in our back yard....then relocated them to the forest. He didn't shoot them. With all the ones he captured, he said I could have had two great fur coats, gloves, hats, etc. Kidding of course. I have pictures of these groundhogs (I mentioned woodchuck as it is another name for them).

Well, if our economy crashes we may all have to get your mom's recipe.
