Hogs make terrific stew.

I saw a fresh road-kill on the way home tonight after dinner with friends so I stopped and bagged him. This hog is so fresh his eyes balls were still rolling around in his head as I put him in a plastic bag and threw him in the back of my crossover.

Any ideas .....

Sorry, only familiar with cute, little hedgehogs... Ground hogs haven’t learned how to swim the Atlantic yet...

Now, if you were asking about deer or sheep... I could help you then.

Good luck on your stew!! rolling on the floor laughing

It looks like there is a plethora of youtube videos about skinning and cooking groundhog, with many a reminder to remove the scent.

Ok, Pete. I’ll try it your way. He’s been inverted and hanging in the shower for a while. He’s a slow bleeder, this one. cheers

easy , you need to wrap it in clay so its totally covered without skinning or gutting it , same goes for hedgehogs . Place in dish with lid and when you have your microwave going cook it using usual cooking time for that weight of meat . When its cooked peel of the clay and the skin will come off with the clay . I would use a fire and bury it in the embers(note a) . Clay keeps it clean while dong the skinning .

note a , it would be the last thing I would eat .

Young ground hogs are very tasty. Last thing I would eat again is venison.

After having eaten venison for years I've gone off it something terrible , can't stand the stuff and wonder why people rave over it . More food value in a bag of rice . Before I had a fridge and then freezer here my sons and I used to catch just about anything around here , fresh meat still wriggling thrown into a pot or camp oven . There were a few times nothing was silly enough to be caught and it was vegan meal , it taught my sons to eat what was in front of them .
