Thanks so much for the recipies....Maybe in the future???

Here's the little guy without his jacket on....Looks like I could make a nice toupe for my dome.  You'll see there's not much meat on the rat.  Looks like haunch and hindquarters are where the "steaks" are.

If I would have stayed out of the castor glands...I might have tried it....but that stench is still hangin' in my nose.  It'll be a long time till I decide to munch on one of these water rats.

By the way....the little dude had only 3 legs...."Did I ever tell you the one about the 3-legged beaver..."!  Was missing the forelimb on his right.  Since he's a youngun...and I don't know of any trapping....and the limb was normally developed under the skin.....I must assume that something got ahold of it and took his leg for a snack!
