How should I prepare this meat? I just shot the thing from my bedroom window and harvested:
-1 rack of ribs
-1 lung
>liver
>heart
>1 front leg
>1 rear leg
The first time I killed a groundhog I was skittish and only harvested the liver; Fried in just butter and it tasted really good and was soft and not chewy at all. This time I got enough meat for a whole dinner.
Dinnertime is in 2-3 hours
It's pretty good stewed.
Idk, I want to taste the meat
Nice. Did you eat it?
I'm not letting good meat go to waste
Both the BBQ baked ribs and the leg were chewy kind of like the butter fried leg. They also tasted gamier than the organs. I can see now why suggested stewing.
Anywho, the organs themselves I give a 10/10. The rest of the meat I give a 2/10. I still ate it all up like a good boy 🙂
Rabbit and squirrel too, only time I ever had squirrel was in a stew and I couldn't even tell.
He tasked me. He tasked me for weeks and one day I took the shot between the railing and I got him.
Oh no its you again now youre eating them!? When will you stop. What will come next your neighbors kid?
Do Americans really just eat rats they have running around in their yard?
Welcome to Joe Biden's America
Yeah, they love finding excuses to shoot living things. This isn't limited to Americans, though. Used to be good friends with a backwater Canadian and he always had these stories about how his dad, brother, or himself had to shoot some animal for the most mundane reasons.
Oops, shoot some *pests
There's literally nothing wrong with killing an animal for food. Moreover, hunting is far more ethical than eating meat from the grocery store. You live a sheltered life and are disconnected from nature.
Where did I say it wasn't ok to kill animal for food? Find it in my post and quote it for me to look at.
You implied it by getting mad at OP for eating a groundhog, you dumb homosexual.
I said gun owners tend to kill animals for the dumbest reasons because they love having an excuse to shoot them. It makes them feel in control. It's just the kind of crowd gun ownership tends to attract. Hunters especially tend to be the dumbest. I didn't really notice this kind of behavior among sport shooters.
Snapping turtle resting 20 feet away from the dock? Could be dangerous, better shoot it.
Unusual snake just tending to its business? Has to be one of the only two venomous snakes in Canada. Better shoot it.
The extremely rare unicorn, possibly the last of its kind, is passing through my property? It might take a fat dump on my lawn, better shoot it to be safe.
OP shot the animal because he wanted to. There's nothing more to it. Just be honest with yourself.
>It makes them feel in control.
Uh... Yeah?
That's literally the point of being armed in general.
You're stating the obvious as though it's some sort of shameful revelation.
I'd shoot you if I could and, if not I would stab you.
have a nice day homosexual
>OP shot the animal because he wanted to. There's nothing more to it. Just be honest with yourself
No, its because they are a pest and destroy foundations and gardens. Try again
Groundhogs are nuisance pests and responsible for maiming numerous cattle/livestock/working animals
>responsible for maiming numerous cattle/livestock/working animals
They are vegetarian and definitely don't do this, but they are still a nuisance
I know ranchers who’ve had to put cattle down after they step in a groundhog hole and snap their leg.
Survival of the fittest. If your animals are so overweight and unhealthy they can't handle a small hole you were a dogshit animal husband.
>Survival of the fittest
This is farming.
The objective is "Survival of the fattest".
Not just for farmers, that's the objective for all Americans apparently
To be fair, Americans are consumer cattle, so it checks out
They’re not really small holes, have you ever left the city urbanite? Also how does this make you feel.
Seems I struck a nerve lol I'm slightly disappointed you're a sociopath attentionprostitute but otherwise unbothered since I'm more man than you will ever be.
You’re obviously pretty bothered if you’re sitting here refreshing a Culinaly thread every couple of minutes
Doesn't really make sense what else are you supposed to do on this website not refresh and not reply? Fricking moron lol
You may be the dumbest poster in this thread, and there are no shortage of dumb posters in this one
>his dogs can't handle a fricking little groundhog
Americans are such pussies better get yer shawtguun buddy that'll make your tictac dick nice and hard.
cuckboi alert cuckboi alert
Yes. I kill rabbits in my yard all the time. Why waste the meat? Plus the fur can be used for stuff if you tan it or whatever like gloves. My rabbit fur homemade leather gloves are >> than any gloves I've had in winter.
Free food man
If you are unironically shooting deer and leaving the meat, especially considering its july and you can't hunt right now you are an butthole
haven't you seen caddyshack
you know nothing about invasive species
next time slow cook the ribs
here the homosexual goes assuming i care he killed it because he is simple and associated me saying "honor it's life" is fricking gay with that vegan tard.
i don't care if you eat meat. stop pretending you're "honoring a life" though. moron. oh thank god my killer honored my life by eating my entrails.
i'm cooking ribs right now you corny redditor spaced frick
You're not even talking to OP, the person who mentioned "honoring a life"
t. OP
You are replying to me. I'm not sure what your spergging out about. I don't really care what you have to say. Have a good one bub
Nah, I don't eat them. I leave them for the foxes. One day I am certain a kitsune girl will show up at my door wanting to repay me for helping feed her when she was young.
Last time I killed a groundhog I threw the carcass into the woods and I could hear raccoons fighting for it throughout the night. The next morning the upper torso was in the middle of my back yard
Nope. Shot it with an SBR'd suppressed AR15 with a CMMG conversion bolt, shooting subsonic 22lr
I kill any deer or chuck that comes onto my 138 acres.
Nice.
I saw a deer this morning but didn't shoot it since I got neighbors.
There should be one still out there right now. Let me check.
Smart thinking. Save the opportunity for the bigger target.
Nice shooting, moron. If you actually knew how to aim, you'd use a compound bow.
I have this fricker and his friends (no groundhogs) where I'm at. Anyone have any good recipes to make Coyote halfway decent? I think the MeatEater guys have a series where they eat nasty shit. Never heard anyone have anything nice to say about Coyote meat except a few people online who say the backstraps are worth it with lots of butter and garlic.
>AR15
FRICKER. TRUMP LOST. BEFORE LONG YOU'LL HAVE YOUR CHILD MURDER MACHINES TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU. YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THE VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES. WHY DO YOU NEED AN ASSAULT RIFLE TO HUNT. IF YOU WANT TO HUNT USE A REGULAR HUNTING RIFLE NOT SOMETHING WITH A CALIBER ENOUGH TO KILL AN ELEPHANT. I HATE CONSERVATIVES
Damn cletus did your methadone prescription run out?
>YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THE VIOLENCE IN THE UNITED STATES
I'm not a Black person though.
last i heard blacks use hi points, not white boy ar15s designed for school shootings
>IF YOU WANT TO HUNT USE A REGULAR HUNTING RIFLE NOT SOMETHING WITH A CALIBER ENOUGH TO KILL AN ELEPHANT.
i like this part
How do you think fox tastes?
God damn did you run over it with a truck or what
7mm Rem Mag from like 70 yards away
I hope you were protecting your animals and aren't just a moron
No I was like 16 years old and drunk as shit
>catched
Im curious to see what you make of this.
I'm tempted to use BBQ sauce on the ribs
Naturally. Make sure you wear his head as a necklace while eating it.
Carcass is already deep innawoods. It's likely covered with maggots by now
Like Hasenpfeffer/civet de lièvre.
Taken right now. Yep. That was two days ago. Buzzards have been around but it's starting to rain.
>left all that meat
Reeeeee you should be eating it!
To clarify, I kill deer as often as I can because they are terrible disease, tick carrying, automobile smashing, prevent forest from regrowing, field crops ruining, home garden destroying pieces of shit and I can't kill them fast enough.
Anon, a fox or coyote will eat it and I will one day get my kitsune girl.
>hunt
based outdoorsman, i do waterfowl mostly but with the decline of hunting in my area the ducks basically sit after sunrise so you either get some first thing or you are shit out of luck. keep doing the lords work
deer is actually good eats tho dawg, why would you harvest the ground hog but not the deer?
That's not OP and idk why he didn't harvest 🙁
oh, thanks for the clarification.
i see, my apologies
I don't harvest the groundhog. It was someone else.
>>1 front leg
>>1 rear leg
how about not shooting a poor cripple, tough guy
Lol. My knife sucked and my surgical gloves were starting to rip so that's all I harvested. It's an improvement upon my last kill. I just got a new knife and better gloves so maybe next time I'll be able to harvest the whole thing
Why didn't you just let the little groundhog man go 'round the town in his hats, and make little friends. Hello mr. duckie. Hello mr. groundhog. How's it faring for you today mr. duckie? Well it's doing great mr. groundhog how is it faring for you
Are groundhogs pests? I see them occasionally but havent noticed any damage.
Yes. They dig holes.
I once shot a woodchuck in the jaw/face and it just laid on it's back and started looking around like nothing happened. Then I played with it for awhile and it didn't run away. I think I did some brain damage because it was alive and capable of movement but completely out of it. Looked straight at me. Didn't care.
OP here
Rack of ribs and the larger hind leg are lathered in a mix of Baby Rays BBQ sauce and mustard. I'm putting it in the oven for 45 min at 380 degrees, gonna flip halfway through.
I'm going to check on my henhouse for eggs, grab a cold beer, then dice up onions and cook the rest in butter
god i wish i lived like this on land, with hens.
t. city cuck finishing my masters degree
Meanwhile i fried the rest of the meat, added a touch of garlic powder, red/black pepper and a splash of whatever i was drinking
don't you feel disgusted by the body heat all of that meat still retrains? that all of those parts were part of a living creature, moving every hour for years by now?
Not him, but no. Unhealthy vegan cultists frick off.
for the past 2 months the only vegan options i've had were tomato and basil but nice try you got me bruccachi
hahahahahah
I just want it away from my shed and feed bags, alright? That I actually tried eating it is more than enough to honor its life
>honor it's life
shut the frick up homosexual, what are you geronimo? go do frickin honor dances in your chippewa clan you frick. frickin honor it's life. eat the frickin fried animal meat with your beer and salt and shut the frick up. don't get all frickin robert frost about it. you like meat you killed it and now you're eating it's meat and that's it.
>don't get all frickin robert frost about it
Why not?
Hunters should and do care about ecology. When you care about nature you get more of it.
anon you seem a little upset
what a weird reaction to the recognition of the sanctity of life. seems like that touched a nerve. do you have some kind of issue with the idea that life is inherently sacred?
I think it's funny that you were probably so mad at the concept of this guy killing a groundhog on his own property, that you had to justify it to yourself through your own internal sociopathy to make sense of the act.
Based
Gay
The meat fried in butter cooked faster and ready to eat
The liver, heart and lung was delicious. It wasn't chewy at all and came out perfect. The leg meat was really chewy. I wondered if i undercooked it, but there was no blood on the inside
Picrel shows section cut from the liver
Ribs ended up shrinking down, not much meat on them
Last pic. R.I.P. groundhog. Only 5 hours or less between getting killed, hacked apart, and in this autist's tummy
I hit it in the neck, it didn't squirm too much, maybe dragged itself for no more than 6 seconds before dying. One shot with 1 rd of Winchester 22lr 42 grain 1065 fps subsonic from 40 feet away, 10.5" barrel
Do Americans really eat rodents?
By eating his heart and liver you have gained his strength. What are you going to do with your newfound groundhogs powers.
not OP but every time i cook a rabbit i get a powerful urge to go a-hippin' and a-hoppin' for the next few full moons. may or may not still indulge in the occasional frolic
does it make you wanna frick like one?
>I can roar like a lion
>sting like a bee
>sometimes I think maybe I got rabbit blood in me
>cause I'm a lover not a fighter..
Idk, mang...I'm born, raised, and still here in the hollers of Western KY and we've never ate groundhog.
Sure, we park the truck in the middle of the field and sport shoot but eating them seems a bit suspect.
I mean, we do rabbit and sometimes squirrel asides from deer and turkey.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Its more the aesthetic of getting meat yourself tbh. The groundhog was a letdown apart from the organs
rats
would.
You know damn well we don't say 'holler'. That's moonshine east talk. And frick Paducah and the lakes.
Not him, but originally "holler" was just "hollow" spoken with a Southern/country accent. It's commonly used by country folk from the deep south all the way up to southern Ohio, in my experience.
Also in my area the old timers call groundhogs "whistle pigs", and skunks are "polecats".
I know people here in Southern Indiana that say holler so I wouldn't be surprised if they say it, too.
plenty of people do say holler in west KY, there's no enchanted holler border that stops anyone from saying it once you cross it
just depends, i ate squirrel at least once as a kid.
>eating rats

that's a very nice video, thank you for sharing
>killing a friend
I derive alot of pleasure from executing groundhog pests.
I usually go with a simple preparation.
Do Americans often shoot, cook and eat random rodents they see outside their house?
Probably healthier than any food you've eaten this week.
>oui oui le filthy americans are outside eating from nature again oui oui
>not like I who subsides on a diet of bread and processed meats hon hon hon
I haven't yet but I really want to start. We're surrounded by food.
You understand that you are basically preparing ot eat a giant rat?
What's wrong with that?
Not really. Groundhogs primarily eat plants. The occasional bug or critter. Rats eat literally anything.
Wow now I understand white trash better. They really eat road kill and parasite infested wild mammals. Thank Gaia I live in a city and have a Whole Foods and my Latinx bodegas nearby
Don't Google supermarket meat scandal cityfren
Be more subtle next time.
the snout to tail, sustainable agriculture, whole foods and trader joes shopping gays are the ones turning up their nose at whistle pig meat. glad I live in a rural area and don't have to hear their constant kvetching.
and that's how anon got trichinosis
Holy frick, troony jannies seething and dilating.
What the frick is wrong with you?
OP here. I just got another groundhog
Heart and lungs were turned into tomato juice, but I got the liver and a rear leg. It started leaking shit everywhere so i didnt harvest anything else
Maybe you should be using something a little smaller that doesn't turn the critter to liquid.
A .22 is plenty for a groundhog, you know. Cheaper as well.
I was using Winchester 22lr 42 grain 1065 FPS subsonic out of a suppressed 10.5" barreled AR15 with CMMG 22lr conversion bolt. Its a lead round nose bullet so it probably splattered into fragments and shredded everything inside the ribcage
Fair enough. I guess you pretty much have to nail a headshot to get the meat then.
It's pretty disgusting how Americans look for any reason to shoot living things then they wonder why they've got school shootings every other week.
>YOU SEE LIL JIMMY JOHN JOHNSON JOHNATHON...THAT LITTLE MAMAL LOOKED AT ME FUNNY LETS BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT WITH A 12 GAUGE!!
I have a garden and hens. I don't want groundhogs getting into my chicken feed or eating my garden plants. The groundhogs moved in within 50 feet of my house and if they keep reproducing, they will end up burrowing UNDER MY HOUSE and destroy the foundation. I see plenty of animals on my property that I could kill and eat, but I don't because they aren't pests like groundhogs
Then he felt the need to take dozens of photos and spend hours bragging online about such basic chore? Frick up you insincere dorks shooting animals doesn't make you a man you pussy lol
>dozens of photos
OP here. I posted only 8 images in this thread.
6 were pictures of the meat and my process of cooking it, 2 were of groundhogs after I killed them. The other pictures of groundhogs and other animals aren't mine
You can tell which pictures are mine because the dimensions are all 2016x1512px
Okay buddy... seems like we both know the score here.
He literaly shot a eatable pest with a smaller calibre to keep his yard and animals clean and he even ate it so it didnt go to waste.
Must be some moronic vegan troony post or something. And no im not american, im a west euro anon.
>then they wonder why they've got school shootings every other week.
These weapons have been available for decades, but this problem has only arisen within the last 20 years.
You're not asking the right questions.
The weapons aren't the problem it's Americans being sexually repressed hyper violent low IQ mixed race mutts with their penis mutliated by the doctor st birth that's the problem, we all know that.
>we all know that.
Again, that's a problem older than school shootings.
You're still not asking the right questions.
No I've got shit pretty figured out thanks, chat though.
>hunted groundhog
hope you had a vet check it out before you eat it
>hope you had a vet check it out before you eat it
What are you expecting the vet to do?
Unless you're paying him to dress it, it's not like his examination is going to be any more thorough than yours.
Finally got the morherfricker killing all your lillies, eh?
This is what happens to nice threads when you feed the trolls
Mass reply .reddit troony
>Have you considered trapping?
Yes. A guy in my town told me I could borrow his trap that he uses, but I don't want to deal with groundhogs pissing and shitting in my car as i drive it somewhere to release it
You could trap them and then shoot them in the from 5 yards away with a Rem 7MM. This is a really good way to become a serial killer as well if that is something you're interested in
a 22 AR15
>Please at least try to say its your wifes gun
Re-read the post you replied to and rethink what you typed. Your post makes you look like a noguns idiot who thinks he knows what they're talking about but comes off as absolutely clueless
I'll give you a massive hint: "CMMG conversion bolt"
Ah, I missed that part. Okay that makes sense. less noise and cheaper ammo. Supressed SBRs look really nice. I have a buddy who has one. I don't feel like going through the paperwork nor do I have the $ at the moment.
>Ah, I missed that part
Okay, sorry for being mean about it lets be frens
SBR'ing isn't too expensive. $200 for the tax stamp and ~$50 to get the lower engraved. Form 1 efile so it only takes a month or less, but i dont know current processing times. I'd prefer there be no tax stamp though
The concept of property is so foreign to Europeans that they take issue with shooting pests that pose a threat to livestock and/or agriculture. Probably because they all live in "flats" the size of sardine cans with a dozen other people and having a lawn is seen as some sort of white man luxury.
I don't understand. Don't europeans have farms? Do mega-corps own them or are there still farmers? Or are they importing food from us here in the US? Where do euros get their food? I'll say this. When I was in Finland shit was fricking bleak. There was basically reindeer and fish with no seasoning everywhere and thats it.
SO MUCH HAIR
i rinsed it off more after i took that pic and before i cooked the meat
you murderer
