| I saw a show on TV once where they had a chef from L.L.Bean
who was cooking different types of game and he stated that young
woodchucks are very tastefull.

Yes, they pick only the best vegetables to devour.

| Woodchuck along with most other small game taste similar to chicken.
When any of them get old they become tough (2 or more years) and have a
rather gammie.... taste.
I don't know if a butcher would dress them or not. I guess if you find
one who specializes in dressing game for folks or any hunter they might
do it for you. I have had woodchuck done on a spit over a campfire and
it was great.

| There's the taste scale of whether or not they're any good...
and then there's the satisfaction scale.

My grandmother used to offer to cook one for me if I ever
wanted to try it. When she first offered I asked where did
she ever learn such a thing, her reply was that if you rasied
9 kids during the depression that woodchuck became a good and
inexpensive meal. The reason she was offering was that she
liked the flavor and would like to have some again. She told me
that you have to be very carful dressing it out due to some
glands that are located under the legs, if you hit one it will
taint the meat. She died before I was able to get one for her,
I will always be curious as to what I missed out on.
