bushjill+FollowStop throwing away your marmot meat!Seeing tons of hunters going after groundhogs lately but most are probably tossing the meat because it tastes like garbage. Trust me, I've been there. Here's how to actually make it taste decent: Critical prep steps: Remove ALL fat and glands (armpits, groin, tail base) - this is where that nasty smell comes from. Then brine it 12+ hours in water, vinegar, and salt. Some guys use milk instead. Cooking methods that work: Mountain stew style (my go-to "drunk marmot" recipe), confit, or mix minced marmot with pork for dumplings. What NOT to do: Don't grill it - turns into rubber you can't chew. Marmot needs way more attention than other game meat, but done right it's actually pretty good. Anyone else got cooking tips for these little guys? #hunting #marmothunting #wildgamecooking 5026Share
mmoore+FollowAnyone actually made marmot taste decent?Shot my first marmot this weekend and holy crap, the smell hit me like a truck. Rancid doesn't even cover it. Before I toss this thing, has anyone figured out how to make these edible? Need serious cooking advice here. #hunting #marmothunting #MarmotCooking #gamemeat3539Share
